Ying Jee Club

HK$1000 per person

Stately marble tables and dark emerald banquettes of velvet adorn a side of the luxuriously spacious second-floor dining room. Service is polished, so ask for recommendations instead of navigating the voluminous menu, which may dizzy novices of Chinese cuisine. Chef Siu Hin-chi excels in Cantonese restraint and innovation. Highlights include steamed king prawn with crab coral, showcasing a sculpted sphere of whole prawn, its essential briny flavour gleaming on a silken bed of comforting egg white. The rendition of drunken pigeon here is a sublime revelation, with meltingly soft meat—thinly sliced, instead of chopped up in chunks across the bone the traditional Chinese way—that’s all the better to soak up the elegant Shaoxing wine marinade. Most of the signature dishes are individually portioned, and can be paired with a compelling selection of fine wines.
