Fans of Hong Kong-style tea restaurants are likely familiar with restaurants like Pújí Xiaochú, Jīngxīng, or Tángcháo. The most classic Hong Kong dim sum includes chicken feet, char siu buns, cheung fun, radish cake, and crab roe siu mai.

This time, we’re introducing the newly reopened [Dian Xin · Pújí Xiaochú] on March 1, 2014, after its renovation. As the name suggests, Dian Xin specializes in dim sum—whether you’re in the mood for savory or sweet, light or filling bites, Dian Xin has it all.

The dim sum restaurant prides itself on steaming dishes to order, ensuring the freshness of the day’s ingredients. Despite being made to order, the dishes are served surprisingly quickly—you won’t have to wait half the day to eat. In addition, the restaurant also offers traditional Hong Kong-style soups, which health-conscious diners will surely appreciate.

▲ Condiments

Basic soy sauce, vinegar, and pepper are provided at each table, and servers also bring mustard chili sauce and ginger slices for the xiaolongbao.

▲ Steamed Shrimp Dumplings 98 NTD

The translucent, chewy dumpling wrappers are packed with juicy, sweet shrimp—just looking at them makes your mouth water.

▲ Shrimp Cheung Fun 128 NTD

The cheung fun here deserves top marks in my book. In the past, I’ve had cheung fun that was either too thin and lacked chewiness or didn’t hold the soy sauce flavor well. But here, the cheung fun has the perfect thickness, snugly wrapping around plump, tender shrimp. Just dip it in soy sauce—simple yet incredibly delicious and memorable.

▲ Fried Cruller Cheung Fun 98 NTD

This is the dim sum I think you absolutely must try at Dian Xin · Pújí Xiaochú. The tender and springy cheung fun pairs perfectly with crispy fried crullers, sprinkled with white sesame seeds and flavorful dried shrimp. The moment you bite into it, it’s almost exhilarating. That crisp, refreshing texture is still vivid in my memory. But eat it quickly—the crullers soften and lose their texture if left too long.

Whether eaten on their own to enjoy the soup inside or paired with ginger slices, they’re equally delicious.

▲ Pan-Fried Squid Cakes 88 NTD (3 pcs)

These hearty squid cakes are filled not only with squid but also shrimp. Seafood lovers shouldn’t miss this dish. It’s a bit oily, but it’s very tasty and quite filling.

▲ Preserved Meat Radish Cake 68 NTD (3 pcs)

At a Hong Kong-style dim sum restaurant, you absolutely must try—and at an affordable price—this [Preserved Meat Radish Cake]. You might think it looks no different from the ones you make at home, but once you take a bite, you’ll realize you were wrong XD.

The skin of the preserved meat radish cake here may not be super crispy, but the cake itself has a delicate, smooth texture with a pleasant bounce. Whether eaten hot or at room temperature, it doesn’t lose its perfect balance in my eyes.
