There are certainly better place for Cantonese dim sum brunch, but when it comes to quality and affordability, we always choose Sweet Dynasty everytime. It’s quiet and not so crowded during brunch.

Hong Kong New World Building, basement.

They have 1 outlet in Shanghai, 3 in Taiwan, 9 in Japan and a main outlet in HK.

I first discovered this place whilst we were at the metro station at Huangpi South road years ago. It opened up next to Crystal Jade. I have been to this place many times and decided to blog about it today…

Sweet Dynasty is famous for its Cantonese desserts and congee. They offer a variety range of Cantonese classic staples like the radish pastries, cha-siu pastry, the famous crispy spring rolls and their radish cake are excellent with morsels of Chinese sausage. They also have a selection of Hong Kong style noodle and wonton soups, fried noodle, rice dishes and what classic Cantonese meal is complete without congee…? I especially love fish and pork ball congee. The menu has a whole 2 pages congee variations. The big draw for me is the large variety of fresh prawn rice rolls! The scallop fried rice and fried raddish cake in XO source are tasty too! These babies are seriously damn addictively good. My mouth waters just thinking about it.

Cha-siu pastry

Sesame ball with red bean paste filling. Ron loves it but I don’t because they gave me a tiring jaw exercise.

Fish and pork ball congee

Melon with scallop

We saw lots of tables ordered this deep-fried crispy chicken (served with a side of dipping salt) so we thought to give it a try… nothing special…

Deep fried noodle, super not nice!

Red bean pudding

Almond sweet soup

It’s almost a punishable crime if you go to Sweet Dynasty without ordering the sweet soup. The traditional style of cooking sweet soup is to use rock sugar which won’t affect your health.

Peep-a-boo at the open kitchen

Well designed interior

I love the ambience which decked out with Chinese classic theme. Advice to book ahead as this place fill up fast during peak hours.
