Dim sum lovers are in for a sophisticated culinary experience!
Tao Li restaurant is giving traditional dim sum a delightful twist with a creative new lineup crafted by Executive Chef Cheuk Man Chung and his team. From elegant seafood creations blending with classic Cantonese techniques, the offerings are perfect for a casual lunch or an impressive meal with family or friends.
At the top of the must-try list is the visually stunning Steamed Garoupa Dumplings in Lobster Sauce (HKD48 for two). Shaped like little goldfish, this take on the classic har gow is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the palate, swimming in a golden pool of rich lobster sauce.
But it is not all about refinement; there is fun in every bite, too. The Purple Sweet Potato “Hedgehog” Buns (HKD40 for two) are both adorable and delicious, made with naturally sweet, no-sugar-added Japanese sweet potato filling.
For a nostalgic treat with a luxurious touch, tuck into the Crabmeat Dumpling in Supreme Soup with Whole Abalone, Bamboo Pith and Bird's Nest (HKD148 per person), or the Steamed Stuffed Crab Claws with Minced Shrimp and Bird’s Nest (HKD48 for two).
To keep things fresh, the dim sum offerings are rotated every two weeks on the à la carte lunch menu, giving diners plenty of reason to return and discover new surprises.
If you are someone who enjoys a creative twist on tradition, Tao Li’s summer collection is a feast for all senses, and a fantastic way to beat the heat with flavour and flair!

Rediscover Local Favourites with Old Hong Kong Charm Afternoon Tea
From now till 30 September, the hotel is bringing a delicious dose of nostalgia to the table. The Lounge is serving up an Old Hong Kong Charm Afternoon Tea that lovingly pays tribute to the city’s iconic cha chaan teng culture.
Curated by Executive Pastry Chef Daniel Law and his team, the tea set is a walk down memory lane. Think classic street snacks and nostalgic sweets, cleverly reimagined as refined, bite-sized treats. Guests can nibble on “French toast” Peanut Pound Cake, “pineapple bun” Pineapple Passion Fruit Puff, and even a playful “curry fish balls” Yuzu Mousse Cake.
The savoury selection is no less impressive. Highlights include an elevated Abalone, Chicken and Jinhua Ham Tartlet, a gourmet take on the humble chicken pie, and a decadent Black Truffle, Corned Beef and Egg Sandwich that blends indulgence with familiarity. Adventurous palates can savour Golden Curry Pork Skin and Squid, or the refreshingly zesty Tiger Prawn and Salmon Roe Rice Roll with Pickled Papaya.
Served in an elegant three-tiered “bird cage” stand, the tea is enjoyed amid the comfort of The Lounge’s bright, high-ceilinged space. Each set comes with a drink of your choice, including Hong Kong-style iced milk tea or The Lounge’s signature tea blend.
For something special, guests can upgrade to themed seasonal beverages such as the Pineapple Delight or Condensed Milk and Peanut Butter Coffee or enjoy the Red Bean and Young Coconut Jelly Cup that echoes the comforting local drink many locals grew up with.
This afternoon tea is certainly a delicious way to revisit (or discover) the unique flavours that define the city’s culinary heritage.
