The photo note

@treshax3 started craving for #dimsum the other day, so we decided to hit up this Michelin star #yumcha joint! The queue was quite long though! #飲茶 #點心 #太子 #好好味 #好好食 #香港 #hkfood #hkig #hkigers #ighk #hongkong #goodeats #foodography #foodspotting #onedimsu…

Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

The tilted collage covers a proper yum cha round: translucent har gow, siu mai, steamed buns, crystal dumplings, congee, braised chicken feet and golden baked buns — plus one frame of the queue outside.

A Michelin star comes with a line, and the caption flags it. The spread shows the wait bought variety across a whole table of baskets, not just one famous item.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • Har gow and siu mai
  • Braised chicken feet and congee
  • A long queue for a Michelin star

Bottom line

Archive verdict

A long queue for a full Michelin-starred yum cha spread — the photos make the case for waiting.
