NEXT OF KIN KIN’S KITCHEN

Food industry veteran Lau Kinwai and his son Lau Chun run this beloved Wan Chai restaurant, which is known for honouring Cantonese traditions and culinary techniques. Dishes such as guo zha, or fried

chicken custards, and pork slices steamed with fermented shrimp paste, are classics, and definitely order the smoked soy sauce chicken. facebook.com/kinskitchen

FAN CLUB FAN DINING

Run by the affable Mrs Fan, Fan Dining is the kind of neighbourhood eatery that brightens up your day. The cosy

Yuen Long restaurant with modern touches is a long way from her original Sai Wan Ho shop, which closed in 2017. The new Fan Dining continues to thrill with homestyle Cantonese cooking. Don’t miss her signature scrambled eggs with shrimp and her elegant marinated abalone. facebook.com/fandining

THE LONG GAME YIXIN

Now run by the third generation of the founder’s family, Yixin has come a long way since it was established in 1953; one of the employees, who started work as a trainee, ultimately became head chef. The restaurant prides itself on solidly executed Cantonese specialities, from the delightfully nostalgic lemon chicken to the highly technical roast pipa duck.
