The three best Hong Kong restaurants to try in December, for classy Cantonese, a meaty feast and more
- We loved everything at Ding’s Club in Central, opened by a former actor, and drooled over the gratin dauphinois at La Petite Maison
- It wasn’t our intention to mainline on meat at The Hunter, but we didn’t regret it
We tried a varied lot of restaurants in November – everything from cheap and cheerful vegetarian and Thai to an upmarket Cantonese place opened by a former actor. These three are top of our list for a return visit in December – and they should be top of your must-try list too.
Ding’s Club
We spotted actor-turned-celebrity chef Steve Lee Ka-ding at his restaurant, Ding’s Club, on the night of our review, but he was busy giving face to big spenders in a private room. Our meal was excellent, and we loved everything, from the char siu (flambéed tableside) to the wok-fried rice noodles with sliced beef and sprouts. It’s expensive, but if you order carefully and ignore the set menus, you can make it out for about HK$500 per person.
Ding’s Club, 23/F H Queen’s, 80 Queen’s Road Central, tel: 2327 1398. About HK$650 without drinks or the service charge.
