Today was one of the coldest days of this season in Hong Kong! With temperatures hovering around 7-8 degrees, hiking or cycling were definitely ruled out, and a few us family and friends decided to go for delicious yumcha! (Chinese cuisines). The fascinating Jumbo Floating Restaurant at Aberdeen (south of the HK island) had been on the bucket list for a while now and we decided to tick it off the list today.
The Jumbo Floating Restaurant has four restaurants to chose from. We went to Dragon Court on the first deck. The fine dining restaurant serves delicious authentic provincial cuisine. The restaurant has an outdoor seating arrangement on the long balcony, but today was just not the day for that. We chose to sit indoors and enjoy the contemporary and traditional Ming Dynasty interiors.
I ordered the Lychee Red Tea to warm myself (it was highly recommended by the staff there) and it was a good one. We ordered for vegetable and fungus rice wrap, vegetable dimsum, shrimp dimsum, shrimp and pork wontons. They were all absolutely lip smacking!

I love the Hong Kong steamed pork bun, but today we ordered the baked pork bun. It was really yummy but would have loved to have more pork inside it. The vegetarian fried rice was good too. The highlight of the meal was the mouth watering shrimp and duck meat puff.

How to get there - from Aberdeen promenade there is a free ferry service provided by the restaurant. It is a 8 minute boat rite from Aberdeen. Meal for two would make your wallet lighter by HKD 500 approximately.
