“And Chinese restaurants, with their lengthy menus and Lazy Susans, have been a ubiquitous part of the American landscape for decades.” MATT SCHIAVENZA, China's Culinary Diversity in One Map

Even with the enthusiasm of Korean culture and food, Chinese cuisine, with the combination of many different regional cuisine in China, is still the most popular cuisine in America as well as around the world. And good quality Chinese cuisine is always widely welcomed by people, even in the high income group. Lai Bun Fu, the Canton restaurant in Central, from my point of view, will be one of the restaurants that are welcomed by that group of people.

Talking about the inner decoration, Lai Bun Fu, without a doubt, combines old Hong Kong and modern furnishings with a splash of British Colonial influence: luxurious lights of old western style, glamour furniture, classic Chinese dishes and cups. Sitting in there, you are just like going back to a restaurant in colonial period. That’s very different from the usual Chinese cuisine restaurants.

For food, I have ordered the following five dishes: Drunken Abalone on Ice, Seafood Soup in Papaya, King Prawn Sweet and Chili, Wagyu Beef with Wasabi and Crab Ment and Roe With E-Fu Tea Cover.

Drunken Abalone on Ice: the size of abalone is huge, and it tastes fresh. This can prove that it is a “high class” one. The ice beneath the abalone contributes to keep the freshness of the abalone. (Marks: 7/10)

Seafood Soup in Papaya: it is my first strongly-recommended-dish. With crab, squid and some vegetable, the soup tastes refreshing and sweet, as the soup is cooked with the papaya. Usually, when people think of the soup of Chinese cuisine, they will firstly think of winter melon soup and even some of them think that winter melon is the best squash for soup. However, after this Seafood Soup in Papaya, maybe I think papaya can also be a good fruit for soup. (Marks: 8.5/10)

King Prawn Sweet and Chili: adding XO sauce and chili bean sauce on top, the fried prawns are a little bit spicy. But that doesn’t overtake the juiciness and freshness of the prawns. (Marks: 7/10)

Wagyu Beef with Wasabi: It is my second strongly-recommended-dish. The diced beef mixed with wasabi and it is still soft and juicy. What a good match between wasabi and the beef!

Crab Ment and Roe With E-Fu Tea Cover: with no surprise, it is cooked with chicken soup, the E-Fu is not too soft. The crab is mixed with the noodles and it tastes not bad.

For the service and hygiene, surely the restaurant has no problem on both. Waiters and waitresses always smile and are sincere to help. The floor of the restaurant is clean, with no stain on it.

Overall, three “Gs” can be used to conclude my opinion to Lai Bun Fu: Good Décor, Good Food and Good Service. It is simple, but it is my true comment to them. For the price, it is acceptable and will be better if the price of the food is a bit lower.

Retrieving to newspaper clips, I have found that the chef of the restaurant is the former chef of Government House. He has served the Chief Executives and even some high officials of the foreign countries. That’s why the dishes are attractive, no matter in outlook and in taste.

Chinese cuisine, without a doubt, is still the most popular cuisine in America as well as around the world. Talking about the reason behind, it is obvious: diversified cooking methods and combinations of food. One more reason, which is the most important, is TASTY!!!

题外话/补充资料: Lai Bun Fu is located in 5/F, 18 On Lan Street, Central, Hong Kong. Making appointment in advance is suggested as sometime it is fully booked.
