Serving some of the best roasted Peking ducks in town, Sha Tin 18 continues to capture the attention of Chinese cuisine lovers from local and abroad. The kitchen consistently dishes out outstanding cuisine originating from the Guangdong province, covering Dongguan, Shunde and Guangzhou classics that may seem forgotten or lost amidst the ever growing popularity of Cantonese cuisine. Occupying one entire floor of the hotel, overlooking the greenery of the New Territories, Sha Tin 18 invites guests to unwind over good food while watching how food are prepared in the semi-open show kitchen. Barbecue specialties and cold dishes are unique, a collection of dishes best for whetting appetites before ordering the signature Peking duck, carved tableside and enjoyed with a variety of condiments. Stir-fries and meaty braises are also popular at the restaurant, but one should save room for the restaurant’s specially crafted homemade Western desserts infused with Chinese ingredients. Service is friendly and attentive with little to fault when it comes to staff’s familiarity with the menu’s offerings. In short, Sha Tin 18 is a great place for family gatherings over high-standard Cantonese classics.
