FARE Contemporary Chinese cuisine at one of Hong Kong’s most popular dining destinations, widely known for its Peking duck.

AMBIENCE Cosy, dimly lit underground venue with plenty of booths and tables. It also features private dining rooms, making it perfect for both large gatherings and intimate date nights.

COST Be prepared to pay around HK$3,500 for dinner for two, including a bottle of wine.

WHO TO BRING A few friends for special celebrations, or that special someone you’ve been trying to impress (hint: this will do the trick).

TURN-ONS If you love pork, we insist you try the restaurant’s signature Iberico pork char siu with yellow mountain honey as an appetiser. The slow-cooked, overnight preparation ensures the meat is soft and succulent, but be sure to pre-order as they only serve limited quantities per day. Signature dishes aside, there are loads of newbies on the menu.

For something more “out there”, the marinated geoduck is served chilled and is a treat if you’re used to going straight for the calamari. While the texture is similar, the geoduck is bursting in its own unique flavours. If you do not mind getting your hands messy, the wok-fried Boston lobster is another dish that is perfect for sharing. The large chunks of shell-on lobster were stir-fried with veggies and spices, making it a crunchy addition to our dinner.
