Sweet Dynasty Hong Kong: A SWEET Treat for Foodies

The Sweet Dynasty 糖朝
Address: Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon 尖沙咀廣東道100號
Telephone: 21997788 / 21997799


Sweet Dynasty has come a looooooong way since my first visit there. It used to be extremely small but has grown into a very big restaurant (2 floors) and has even opened branches in other countries. And despite the expansion, it's still jam packed during the peak hours. It's centrally located in one of Hong Kong's busiest areas, Tsim Sha Tsui and just a few minutes away from the famous Harbor City. Many have come to know that Sweet Dynasty offers some of the best Chinese dessert, but it also serves a good variety of dim sum, congee, noodles, and other Cantonese dishes. I always make it a point to visit Sweet Dynasty when I travel to Hong Kong because of the total package: yummy dim sum, lots of Cantonese dishes, the sweet desserts, and the ambiance.

The 2nd Floor of Sweet Dynasty, a far cry from 10 years ago
Fishball Soup HKD$38.00
The Superior Dynasty Congee HKD$185 - The name says it all, absolutely superior compared to all the other congees. It's made of Superior Bird's Nest, Abalones, and Fresh Prawns
Steamed Chicken Paws with Spare Ribs HKD$23
Steamed Cow Tripes with Spring Onions and Ginger HKD$23
Steamed Noodle Rolls with Shrimps HKD$38
Deep Fried Shrimps and Pork Dumplings HKD$23
Steamed Egg Custard Buns HKD$21
Tofu Pudding with Almond Syrup HKD$23 - Although it looks quite plain, this is a must try for all those almond fans.
Baked Fried Durian Pastry HKD$40 - The perfect way to end a perfect meal. This durian pastry is a cut above from the rest and to think that I'm not even fond of durian.

For your reference, here's a copy of their menu as of September 2011  (I think there may be 1 page missing though)
