Even in pricey Hong Kong, there's a Michelin-starred restaurant with incredibly affordable prices, definitely worth trying.

When Michelin stars are mentioned, one typically thinks of high-end dishes with sky-high prices. However, in a Hong Kong restaurant, you can indulge in Michelin-standard cuisine for just 3 USD.

Despite the high costs, there's still a Michelin-starred restaurant with very reasonable prices that you should definitely try when visiting Hong Kong.

For tourists visiting Hong Kong, one of the most attractive aspects is undoubtedly the cuisine. Hong Kong cuisine is famous for its tantalizing street food with distinctive flavors and reasonable prices. Moreover, the fragrant harbor city also boasts many high-end Michelin-starred restaurants, catering to the diverse needs of tourists.

With a culinary scene blending the best of Asia and Europe, Hong Kong boasts many Michelin-starred restaurants, albeit with prices that are far from cheap. However, there's an exception, and that's Tim Ho Wan. A destination frequented by many tourists when visiting Hong Kong.

Tim Ho Wan is considered the world's cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant. Specializing in dim sum, at Tim Ho Wan, you can enjoy delicious dumplings at affordable prices. The restaurant's signature dish is barbecue pork buns priced at less than 3 USD for 3 delicious buns.

The first Tim Ho Wan restaurant opened a decade ago in Sham Shui Po, thanks to former Four Seasons Hong Kong chefs Mak Gui Pui and Leung Fai Keung. Initially offering only about 20 seats, it quickly became a local favorite for its top-notch dim sum. With excellent yet affordable dishes, it earned a Michelin star in 2010, making it a must-visit for tourists exploring Hong Kong and Macau.

A meal for two at Tim Ho Wan costs around 33 USD. You can try standout dishes like soft and sweet barbecue pork buns, piping hot, or robust pork and shrimp dumplings. Don't miss the opportunity to taste turnip cake and other dim sum delights like shrimp dumplings and pork ribs.

Furthermore, the Triều Châu-style steamed buns provide an intriguing option for vegetarians. In total, you have 25 dim sum choices. Therefore, it's advisable not to eat anything beforehand so you can fully enjoy these delicious dishes at a very reasonable price for their quality.

In 2013, Tim Ho Wan began its expansion and now boasts over 50 restaurants worldwide. Yet, the original location in Hong Kong still draws massive crowds. If you visit, be prepared for long waits, especially during peak hours (from 12 pm to 2 pm), but the deliciousness of the food here is enough to compensate.
