If you are spending the day shopping at Horizon Plaza, but would prefer to head out and explore the culinary offerings of Aberdeen, there are plenty of options to cater to all tastes.
Written records of a village at Aberdeen go back to the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) and it remains the home of many boat dwellers, who have for centuries made their living from fishing in and around the harbour at Aberdeen.
While many descendants of this community no longer live on their boats, there is still a strong connection to the sea and Aberdeen's most famous restaurant symbolises this maritime spirit.
The Jumbo Floating Restaurant, which opened in 1976, is set in Aberdeen Harbour and is accessed by a free and short ferry service. It is one of Hong Kong's most iconic restaurants with its curving roof and ornate, colourful dragons carved into the exterior walls.
Famously having hosted Britain's Queen Elizabeth and actress Gong Li, the restaurant specialises in Cantonese cuisine, particularly seafood, and dim sum.
The restaurant is at Shum Wan Pier Drive, Wong Chuk Hang, and is open from 11am to 11.30pm, Monday to Saturday, and from 7am to 11.30pm on Sundays and public holidays. Bookings are advised, on 2553 9111.
