Perfect Match

Bei fung tong is the Chinese name for the Causeway Bay typhoon boat shelter, one of Hong Kong's oldest tourist attractions. In the glory days of the 1960s, 70s and early 80s, the whole area would light up with floating sampan dai pai dong. 'Bei fung tong' seafood is deep fried to seal in the sweet juices then stir-fried with a copious amount of aromatics such as garlic, ginger, spring onion and chillies. The cooking style is deliciously oily and robust in flavour. The ideal wine needs to have freshness, rich flavours and a splash of acidity.
