CANTONESE, DIM SUM
FOOK LAM MOON
fl, Tsim Sha Tsui;meals HK$400-2000; 11.30am-2.30pm & 6-10.30pm; Tsim Sha Tsui, exit B1)
Locals call FLM 'celebrities' canteen'. But even if you're not rich and famous, FLM will
treat you as if you were. The huge menu contains costly items such as abalone which would
shoot your bill up to at least HK$1000 per head. But no one will snub you if you stick to the
dim sum (from HK$60 a basket), which is divine and available only at lunch.
PRACTICAL TIP
BEWARE: FAKE MONKS
Real monks never solicit money. But during your stay, you may be approached by con
artists in monk outfits who try to make you part with your money. Some may even of-
fer Buddhist amulets for sale, or force 'blessings' on you then pester you for a dona-
tion. When accosted, just say 'no' firmly and ignore them.

A Michelin-praised brisket shop in a 'hood known for brothels, Sun Sin has kept quality up
and prices down despite its laurel. The succulent cuts of meat are served in a broth with
radish, in a chunky tomato soup, or as a curry. At peak times, makeshift tables are available
upstairs for those who prize food over comfort.
