Tatler Dining Guide - Hong Kong
Lung King Heen
HK$2500 per person
With the slew of accolades Lung King Heen has been receiving, the restaurant maintains an impressive standard for Chinese fine dining.
The decor could probably use a bit of an update, but somehow the muted warm tones seemingly disappear, giving way to focus on the Victoria Harbour view and the food. With a menu as heavy as an encyclopaedia, dishes offered represent a range of classic and contemporary takes on Cantonese cuisine. For a true look at Chinese culinary skill and finesse, we recommend jumping straight to the soups and ordering the chicken potage. Fine-sliced strands of chicken add elegant texture and the impressively thick, velvety soup paves the way for the remainder of the meal. The wokfried prawns with organic black garlic and dried chilli consists of large meaty prawns with a bite that reflects a powerful dose of wok hei. While Chinese desserts may not be a preference for everyone, they shouldn’t be missed, as the delicately sweetened soups offer a nice balance to a savoury, umami meal.
