The first Tim Ho Wan outside of Asia has opened in Australia, all the way across the Pacific Ocean. At this point, “The world’s cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant” has become a tagline for the popular franchise. The Chatswood store recently opened with a huge amount of hype surrounding it, largely thanks to the stars awarded to some of its Hong Kong counterparts. With the strict “walk-ins only” policy, prepare for an insanely long wait (upwards of two hours in the first few months). “I could get on a plane, fly to Hong Kong, and eat at Tim Ho Wan there faster than I can get into this place” was overheard.
