Housed inside the biggest mall in Hong Kong called Festival Walk (又一城) is House of Canton (翰騰閣), where we had dim sum. There were no push carts here; you check off the dishes you want so dim sum was made to order. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this place. Everything was great!
In fact, I had the best Malaysian Brown Sugar Sponge Cake (馬拉榚) here. It caught my attention at first because it was in an unusal dome shape. Usually, the cake is baked in a pan and cut into servings to be put into bamboo baskets. House of Canton's version arrived steaming hot in a huge dome shape and fit snugly in the bamboo basket. It was so light and airy. It was perfect.

And then I saw an interesting looking bun. It was a steamed custard bun ("lai wong bao" 奶皇包) that was fried. I thought I might give it a try because I haven't had it before. It was interesting to say the least. The custard filling inside was okay; I've had better elsewhere. Hey, it was worth a try.

There is plenty of shopping and eating to do in Festival Walk. Like everything else in HK, it is easily accessible by subway.
