Eating out

As in many Asian countries, local people are eating at any time of the day, a noodle soup, a boil of fried rice or a sweet pastry at any open shop or street corner. But Kong Kong is a living fusion of East and West and in the HKTB's Visitors Kit, everyone can find whatever kind of restaurant he wants. The Victoria Peak is a good example: the Lookout Restaurant - where it is recommended to make reservation - and the nearby restaurants serve a large choice of Chinese or Asian specialties but also international cuisine.

But HK is basically a Chinese city and all the provincial cuisine are present.

Loong Yuen Cantonese Restaurant at the Holiday Inn "Golden Mile" on Nathan Road in Kowloon is considered as one of the very best restaurant of Hong Kong. It is cited by the best food guides and is regularly awarded for one or another of its Cantonese specialties as its recent "fried rice" in which shrimp paste and dried shrimps makes it extraordinary aromatic.
Golden Bauhinia at Hk Convention and Exhibition Centre, is another best restaurant, one to be awarded "Best of the Best" by the HKTB in the four categories of dishes: bean curd (tofu), fried rice, lobster and pork. So gourmet have the choice for their menu.

The Spring Deer Restaurant at Mady Road, Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon, is the place to go to get a Peking duck served in the very traditional way in two or three courses at the customer's taste.

Ah Yee Restaurant at Nathan Road in Kowloon is another special Chinese experience based on totally natural products "pum choi", sort of European "bio". They have everything, meal, seafood, vegetarian and it is very tasteful.

Getting a choice of Dim Sum for breakfast or lunch at the world known Jumbo Restaurant at Aberdeen is an experience for visitors who are coming for the first time. Out of the fact that dim sum are as tasteful as varied, the Jumbo Floating Restaurant is an attraction for itself while taking a cruise aboard a local sampan through Aberdeen Harbour: it is ringed nowadays with high rise estates but, fishermen still live on high-sterned varnished-wood junks.

Live seafood on Cheu Chau Island at Chuen Kee Seafoof Restaurant is another experience. All sorts of fishes, lobsters, prawns, shellfishes are exposed in glass fish tanks where the customer makes his choice, asks for its favorite cooking and eats on table dressed along the waterfront.
