HONG KONG FORGOTTEN ICONS - SAAM HUI YAAT

Arts & Culture

Saam Hui Yaat, a local dim sum joint nestled in Sai Ying Pun, has been a cornerstone of the early morning food scene for the past 50 years. Celebrated for its early opening hours, it has established itself as a beloved staple for many.

This mini-documentary explores the history of the place through the lens of the head chef, who has been studying the art of dim sum since he was 14, intertwined with that of the restaurant, offers an intimate and fascinating glimpse into this cherished local eatery.

The pacing of the video was intentionally slow, designed to mirror the early morning ambience. This choice reflects the drowsy yet introspective mood that often accompanies the start of a new day.
