Tim Ho Wan North Point
The World's Cheapest Michelin Star
Tim Ho Wan made history as the first dim sum shop to earn a Michelin star, and this North Point location keeps that legendary tradition alive without the Central district crowds. You're looking at the same har gow and BBQ pork buns that put this humble tea house on the global map, served in a no-frills setting where locals still queue up for what might be the world's most affordable starred cuisine. The magic happens in those perfectly pleated dumplings and that sweet, sticky char siu that made food critics lose their minds.
Tip
Order the signature baked BBQ pork buns and steamed rice rolls with prawns - these are the dishes that earned the Michelin recognition and they're still phenomenal.
