CLASSIC TOUCH
Anything conceived by David Tang will not be short on taste or style. China Tang, his second high-end Chinese restaurant, is another testament to his creativity. His first restaurant of the same name is at the Dorchester hotel in London. This spacious restaurant has floor-to-ceiling mirrored panels, art-deco furnishings and antique-looking granny chairs. Besides the main dining room, there are six private rooms and a bar area.
On the menu is a broad selection of dim sum favourites and classic Chinese barbecue meat and vegetable dishes. Not to be missed is the Peking duck (HK$688 for two courses), which is done the traditional Peking way, where the fowl is baked and not fried. It is then carved and plated at the table. We liked the duck skin dipped in sugar, which just melted in the mouth.
The black chicken with Sichuan peppercorn and chilli oil (HK$148) is outstanding, as is the signature barbecued pork (HK$238). The dessert list is short for now, but the mango sago pudding (HK$36 per person) is delicious. Champagne Ruinart is offered as a house beverage in addition to a fine selection of wines and other alcohol.
