"加拿大的酒家，餐廳實在太難食，就連他們很自豪的溫哥華，我都只覺得平平無奇，絕不能與香港相比"

there's no way that vancouver's dim sum is better, just the freshness of the ingredients make a lot of difference.
remember that we sometimes feel the food is better here is we compare the best ones here with below average ones in hk, and the average ones in hk are not too comfortable to dine in, hence we have the feeling that the food are not great as well.
a new one star michelin guide dim sum place charges only hk$16 for har kaw, average price around hk$20, but it's so crowded there that i doubt many of us here would enjoy it that much!
one advantage or disadvantage we have here is that the high end restaurants don't charge that much more than low end ones, unlike in hk, the prices can be many times over.

another thing about restaurants here is the standard varies day to day, one day is quite good, the next day could be quite different that you feel you were in new restaurant ! that's why i stop recommending restaurants to friends. even kirin are indifference which is not acceptable as i  feel that they're one of the better ones here, and you cannot pick one here against one in hk.

no way you paid 80can/person in a 2nd grade restaurant in hk. that's more than hk 500/person!!!
i just read an article from a retired government officer who's doing a series of food articles in the paper, he paid hk1,100 for 5 people for dim sum lunch, that's can30/person, and it's a top class restaurant although with no view.
average cost of a dim sum plate at fook lam mom is around can6$, hows that compare with here?
