A Guide to Hop Tung's Dim Sum Menu
Dim sum at Hop Tung is small-plate food — meant to be ordered a few at a time, not as a single entree. The menu covers steamed, fried, and baked items, so it's worth knowing what's in each before you order a table full.
On the steamed side: pork and shrimp siu mai, steamed shrimp dumplings, steamed vegetable dumplings, and steamed pork. These come in bamboo baskets and are meant to be eaten hot, straight off the steamer.
Fried options include fried chicken dumplings and fried pork dumplings — a crisper texture than their steamed counterparts, with the same fillings.
A few items step outside the dumpling category entirely: chicken feet, Chinese broccoli, an egg custard bun, a BBQ pork bun, sesame balls, a shrimp nest, and mango sticky rice for something sweet at the end.
For a first order, one of each protein — pork, shrimp, chicken, and vegetable — gives a reasonable spread without over-ordering.
