It’s always a treat to eat at Hong Kong’s Lung King Heen restaurant, one of the finest cantonese restaurants probably anywhere in the world. Although I’ve had plenty of equally satisfying\u00a0cantonese meals elsewhere, especially for cheaper if you factor in the premium Michelin 3-star pricing at Lung King Heen, I don’t think any of the others equal in terms of how elegant\u00a0the cooking actually is. Much of this is reflected in the sauces which just seem very fine\u00a0at Lung King Heen.<\/p>\n

The restaurant, which is at the Four Seasons Hotel, offers a set menu – I guess the equivalent of a degustation menu – that I would describe as being catered to tourists or visitors who are not that familiar with Chinese food. Generally, I’d recommend ordering from the a la carte\u00a0menu. Many of the dishes are good but I always order the signature crispy skin roast chicken and the fried rice, which is probably like ordering duck confit\u00a0in a fancy\u00a0french restaurant, but they do these standard dishes so well.<\/p>\n

Our meal started with some champagne or sparkling wine. It’s such a civilised start! Lung Hing Keen has a nice view of the harbour with the Kowloon skyline and this creates a very pleasant back drop to the restaurant. Obviously the cost of eating at Lung King Heen includes the great view and the space between diners. This is not your standard loud and crowded Chinese restaurant.<\/p>\n
