Hong Kong – the culinary capital of Asia
One of Hong Kong’s main attractions is its diversity of restaurants, which offer cuisines from around the globe. Here are some of Hong Kong’s top-notch restaurants that come highly recommended by concierge.com.
Perched right on Victoria Peak, 1,355 feet above Hong Kong, Café Deco is best known for its spectacular views over the city and South China Sea. The menu here is designed to appeal to as wide a cross section of tourists as possible. The sushi rolls, Indian and Thai curries, and pastas and pizzas are all good but, it is on the expensive side.
Savory dumplings are the city’s fast-food staple. Din Tai Fung at Whampoa Gourmet Place is well known for its delicate xiaolongbao, little purses of meat and soup wrapped in dough and steamed in bamboo baskets. They are a meal unto themselves and are often washed down with Chinese tea.
One of the city’s top Cantonese restaurants since 1972 is Fook Lam Moon. The prices are high, but the service is good as well as the food like bird’s nest soup (sweetened, double-boiled, and served in a coconut shell), braised whole abalone with Chinese mushrooms, and whole roast suckling pig.
Hutongs are traditional alleyways lined with ancient thatched-roof houses and are gradually disappearing from the capital but the restaurant by the same name set high in One Peking Road Tower isn’t likely to go anywhere soon. Its menu is traditional Chinese from across the nation: platters of crispy, fatty lamb ribs; braised Mandarin fish fillets with spicy black-bean sauce; and prawns with herbs and dried chillies.
For a taste of real Hong Kong, look no further than the streets and associated markets of Kowloon, where every aspect of life is played out before your eyes. For dessert-only restaurants, two of the best-known dessert names in town are Honeymoon Dessert and Hui Lau Shan, both of which have several branches all over the city.
As far as nightspots go Club Edge in Central draws lovers of live music. Other happening places are Dragon-I, known as one of the city’s plushest nightspots. It was designated Club of the Year by the South China Morning Post in January 2006. An open-air lounge with pale wood and all-weather Dedon furniture, Top Deck is the top deck at Jumbo, a floating Chinese restaurant near Stanley Market that’s reached via a two-minute launch ride. With its backdrop of private yachts, elegant shorefront houses, and traditional Chinese boats, Top Deck is best for drinks at sunset, but it also has an elaborate Pan-Asian dinner menu and a Sunday brunch.
