This trusted institution located at Gloucester Luk Kwok Hotel in Wan Chai has been a favourite for family dining as well as business lunches for many years. Comfort food is the name of the game, and so barbecued pork, XO sauce fried turnip cake and dried meat fried glutinous rice are favourites.
One seasonal dish to look out for is the barbecued pork rice with egg, also dubbed “tearful char siu rice” after the legendary dish in Stephen Chow’s movie God of Cookery. Booking a table in advance is strongly recommended at weekends and around public holidays such as Lunar New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival.
