The Treasure is but one of many, many excellent restaurants scattered along Nathan Road in Kowloon. This particular one is larger than most with dining rooms on at least three floors of a high-rise. If you come for dinner, I'd make a reservation; the afternoon dim sum spread doesn't cause those problems.

We had afternoon dim sum nibblies on numerous occasions during our last trip to Hong Kong. There is a selection of over 50 items, which are wheeled by your table on carts. You call over a waitress and the cart, she opens the little bamboo steamer baskets, and you pick whatever you want.

They all look wonderful; however, anyone with allergies to seafood should be cautious because many of the items contain at least a little bit of fish or shellfish.

Anyway, after you have made your choices, they leave the steamers on the table, and mark a bill for whatever you've decided to have.

Two cautionary notes:
1) Like most Hong Kong restaurants, the Treasure charges a lot of money for drinks. A Coke, for example, will cost you HK$25, which is almost US$ 4.00! Everything else is reasonable. A pot of Chinese tea, however, is usually included.

2) There is very, very little English spoken here. Even with the help of the English menu, you may have problems if you want any detailed information about just what you're getting. That said, the maitre d' does manage reasonably well with the language, so all hope is not lost.
