Hong Kong 🇭🇰
For our wedding anniversary, we chose this restaurant, lured by its reputation for serving one of Hong Kong’s finest Peking ducks—a favorite of my husband’s. The venue itself exudes an upscale lounge vibe, cloaked in moody, dark tones with sleek, stylish décor. The dim lighting lends an intimate ambiance, perfect for a special occasion.
FOOD:
This establishment offers Chinese cuisine with a contemporary flair, blending tradition with innovation. Our primary draw was the signature Peking duck (pre-ordering is highly recommended), but we also sampled a selection of other dishes to round out the experience.
We began with two types of dumplings as appetizers. The lobster dumplings, while generously portioned, were enveloped in a sticky rice dough that imparted an unpleasantly slick texture. The lobster’s flavor, diluted by other seafood elements, lacked the vibrant punch I’d hoped for. In contrast, the siu mai were a delight—delicate dough encasing a savory filling of pork, quail egg, and a subtle hint of truffle, perfectly executed.
On our waiter’s recommendation, we tried the honey-glazed barbecue pork, which proved to be the evening’s standout and quite possibly the most exquisite pork I’ve ever tasted. The meat melted in the mouth, its subtle sweetness harmonizing with a crisp, caramelized exterior that elevated the texture to sublime heights.
The Peking duck, the star of the night, was a fitting finale. Its skin, roasted to a delicate, sweet crispness, was free of any rancid aftertaste, while the meat remained tender and juicy. Served with finesse, it capped our celebration on a triumphant note.
SERVICE:
The service was impeccable from start to finish. The booking process was seamless, with our special requests thoughtfully accommodated. In the restaurant, the staff fostered a warm, welcoming atmosphere, their attentiveness enhancing the overall experience.
VERDICT:
This restaurant is a stellar example of upscale Chinese dining, delivering excellence in both cuisine and hospitality. While prices may lean above Hong Kong’s average, the quality justifies every cent. The sophisticated ambiance and flawless execution made our anniversary celebration truly memorable. For an elevated dining experience that marries tradition with modernity, this venue is a must-visit.
