First time trying dim sum in Hamilton, and it was okay! The sticky lotus rice was basically just sticky rice, barely any filling and colour. The prawn toast and deep fried pork dumpling was good

Lovely experience eating this soup. The servings are generous and prices adecuate to the quality, trending to be cheap in some cases such as the soup shown in the picture which costed 20 nzdls.

Came here for dinner, didn't order dim sum but I heard its good. Sizzling beef is something my husband always gets excited about! But yea, yummy dishes but isn't my go to tai chow chinese restaurant
They charge tea and rice per head of 2 bucks each... which I think is a lil expensive tbh!

Yum Cha - the authentic Canton cuisine. Another great discovery.
My wife had a short conference at Hamilton, and we decided to have a date. It has been a long time since I brought her for a good authentic Chinese cuisin, and both of us loved Dim Sum (点心) a touch of heart and I want to touch her heart through her mouth.
I explored the night before and found this place Regal Chinese Restaurant (富豪- literally means rich man) to Yum Cha (饮茶 - drink tea) Of course, we need delicious Dim Sum to go with the tea. The reviews were not outstanding, but when we were welcomed by friendly waitresses and the ambience was very Cheena, we felt at home right away. In fact, the very success of a Chinese restaurant is to have a good chef. And I found out that he is from Canton. Canton cuisine is, to me, one of the most meticulous and uncompromising cuisines. That's why it is so delicious.
The menu has so many items and we picked a few that we both like. E.g. Phoenix Crawl, (百合酱凤爪) Siew Mai, (烧卖) Chee Cheong Fun or Fun Cheong,(鲜虾肠粉) Salted Water Dumplings, (咸水角) and Lo Mai Gai (瑶柱糯米鸡)
Our favourite of the day is really the Chee Cheong Fun or Fun Cheong,(鲜虾肠粉) and Siew Mai, (烧卖). The Fun Cheong is wrap with a steamed skin, soft and flavourful sauce. But when we took the first bite... my goodness, there is another layer of skin with is deep fried and crispy. Amazing skin within a skin. What a gastronomical pleasure when the softness and crunch mixed in union, it is unprecedented!
Then when I took my first bite at the the Siew Mai, my literal expression is... woah! The Prawn is very fresh and the Pork is tender. A wonderful Q feeling when chewing the Siew Mai.
This is definitely a destination for my family, friends, and for anyone who will visit us in NZ. They know who they are.
