If you have an unlimited budget, then this is the best Chinese Restaurant in Hong Kong. My generous wealthy uncle was coming to town and he took me to this place. We called ahead and asked what the head chef's and their best chefs' schedules were. Then, we made a reservations for a night when all their best chefs would be there. We also ordered all the dishes ahead of time because some dishes require more than a day to prepare. They asked us what dishes we wanted and we said, "Surprise us. There
I have been to many restaurants around the world. Whenever I go to a new city in another country, I make it a point to try the best restaurants there. I travel mainly to eat new foods. To say that this is the best I've ever tried is a great compliment. Why am I making such a bold compliment? Most restaurants that are really good have a star chef who can cook a few good dishes. However, at this restaurant, ALL the dishes were stellar, not just a few of the dishes. Also, being a westerner, I normally don't eat certain things, but since all the dishes were so expertly prepared, I bravely tried dishes that I've never tried in my life such as; duck feet, sea cucumber, etc. I was pleasantly surprised. My uncle warned me that these same dishes wouldn't be as good at other Chinese restaurants. He said that since I had my duck feet and sea cucumber cherries popped at this restaurant, I would frown with disdain at all other Chinese restaurants' versions of these dishes.
The duck feet were tender and not rubbery at all. The sea cucumber was soft and felt like the first kiss of a beautiful woman. The abalone was tender and did not have that icky dried seafood smell at all. The live sea prawns were larger than a man's hand and the shells were husked by the waiters at our table. There was one gloved waiter per guest at our table removing shells, pouring drinks, etc The service was impeccable. The food was stellar and there were more dishes than I could count. The fish was steamed just right, not overdone and chewy nor undercooked. The desserts were stellar, too. There was this one dessert that was like jello but was made from the pollen of various fragrant flowers. It was not too sweet as to overpower the delicate pollen flavors. It was so divine that I ate it with my eyes closed. I dreamed that I was dancing in a flowered glen while I enjoyed that dessert.... We dined in a private room and it offered us the privacy to dine naturally without having to worry about appearances in front of strangers. I felt like I was in eating a never ending parade of exquisite dishes. I ate so much I couldn't walk and literally rolled out of the restaurant. I packed up enough leftovers for myself, my uncle's driver and his maid to last the entire week. My only regret was that I did not take any pictures as I did not want to appear to be a country bumpkin in front of my worldly, sophisticated uncle.
The price was about $10,000 HKD per person, not including tips. The waiters were each tipped $500 HKD each.
