Lock Cha Teashop is a traditional teahouse in the Teaware museum in Hong Kong. Near the Admiralty Area, the Teaware Museum consists of two main buildings which form Flagstaff House. It is set in the middle of a small but beautiful park and so forms the perfect environment for a teahouse.
The food served there is tim sum largely made by a monks in a buddhist monastary and is therefore vegetarian. We ordered a few dishes in slight trepidation thinking that monk's fare may be a trifle bland. But no, compared to the dish of pork dumplings which was made by the staff of the restaurant, the monastary made dishes were exquisitely blended in flavour and with delicate skins. Far superior in taste and texture to many other dim sum dishes I've eaten elsewhere.
Sadly I only remembered I should take pictures after eating half of the food with my friend, so rather than presenting you with half eaten timsum, here's a scene from the teashop. It remains a perfect place for a tranquil cup of tea and friendship. We were sorely tempted to come back on Sunday afternoon as there was a performance but did not make it. However it will be on the top of my list when I come back to Hong Kong.
