We were sad to hear about the closure of Island Tang in the Galleria – it was the first of the “Tang” restaurants (which also includes China Tang in Central and Harbour City), and was our favourite.

Taking its place is a branch of Chiu Tang (the original of which is in Wan Chai), and as its name suggests, the cuisine is Chiu Chow.

We ordered classic Chiu Chow dishes. The combination marinated meat platter (HK$238) showcased nice, fatty pig’s intestines, pork belly, crunchy pig ears, goose slices and tender pieces of bean curd in a light but well-flavoured sauce.

Even better was the signature marinated goose liver (HK$88 per piece). The liver – fat, soft and moist – was really delicious.
