Helen Chiang's Kitchen

1/F, 26 Leighton Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong

Tel: 2805 7533

Open: Mondays 6.30pm-midnight; Tuesday-Sunday noon-3pm, 6.30pm-midnight

Private kitchens have been springing up all over Hong Kong in the past few years. One of the advantages they offer is that, with the set menu, you don't have to rack your brains about what to order. The bad thing is that, if the chef isn't good, you need the fortitude of a roach.

Fortunately, Helen Chiang's Kitchen in Causeway Bay is in the former category. Situated above the Latata French Restaurant, opposite Leighton Centre, it makes no pretences to be more than a homely dining place where families and friends can gather for a boisterous meal.

It has the barest of furnishings. The only adornments were colourful festive decorations - it's the holiday season, after all - and family photos on the wall. The chef is reportedly one of Chiang Kai-shek's grand-daughters, so these were no ordinary family snaps.
