  1. Some time ago I wrote [a post asking if anyone knew of a dim sum tasting menu anywhere in Asia](https://old.reddit.com/r/finedining/comments/1bouy5j/dim_sum_omakase_style_in_hk_china_or_singapore/). Well as it turns out there is one in London, of all places. It’s at A. Wong (**), served for lunch and it’s called “a touch of the heart.”

    It’s not cheap (195 GBP), since it’s London, but it is served with five glasses of wine, one of which is Dom Perignon, so I am guessing that glass alone would go for 30-40 GBP on any London restaurant so in that sense, I think it’s fair. I cant comment on the other wines because I dont know them; I am not a big drinker, so I would have saved the money on the wine, but I wasn’t given the option (and I also didn’t ask).

    Instead of boring you with my descriptions, I attached a photo of the menu. The food was pretty good. I enjoyed all the pieces, and I really look forward to try their full tasting menu at some point. That one is not served for lunch and dinner was fully booked.

    My highlights where the cucumber salad (I freaking love chinese cucumber salad and this one was outstanding, if too small cause I can eat 3 kg of that stuff) and the dry fish/tofu sauces which went great with all the pieces. Also the dessert bun was super good. I really enjoyed my meal!

    Also, I suck at taking photos. I need to bring the gf to these places; she goes on full Taiwanese mode for food pics.

    Looks good. I went for their dinner tasting menu in October and the flavours were crazy! One of my fav experiences in London.

    Went for dinner there back in March. The full tasting menu was spectacular. 26 individual plates if I recall correctly. My brother had the non-alcoholic beverage pairing which was quite innovative – one of the cocktails used tea and vinegar to emulate the wine pairing for the course. Certainly wasn’t cheap but a worthwhile experience.
