Elegant Inn Hong Kong Cuisine

WHY GO

The interior is understated and elegant, and the service is unobtrusive and efficient, but the real reason regulars return again and again is its exceptional Cantonese cuisine.

TATLER TIPS

Although the menu is packed with pricey and premium choices, the prices are unlikely to faze the restaurant’s loyal well-heeled clientele. Look out for interesting choices that evoke Hong Kong-style ‘ching’ (clear) flavour dimensions.

While the double-boiled soups garner rave reviews from regulars, let it be known the thick sweet corn with minced pork and egg, and braised seafood soups are excellent too. Order the signature golden boneless chicken stuffed with fish paste, which boasts impossibly delicate nuances. The fried rice is indulgent and well worth jettisoning your no-carb diet for. Every fluffy grain is redolent with wok hei, that barely discernible smokiness every Chinese chef would kill for.
