Every gourmet can rely on finding the finest ingredients, chefs, and standards of service in the world in Hong Kong. The challenge is defining your dining destination choice by either the measure of a famous chef, a stunning view, the magnificent décor, your favorite cuisine, or just the very best Chinese food. Melbourne chef, Teage Ezard, is the master of the modern Asian blend at Jia boutique hotels' Opia and Y's restaurants. Spoon by Alain Ducasse and Yan Toh Heen are two great restaurants in the InterContinental, and Chef Gabriele Colombo serves wonderful authentic Italian at Grissini in the Grand Hyatt. A truly spectacular venue is Felix restaurant at The Peninsula. Designed by Philippe Starck, the whole effect is one of modern theater. Gaddi's also at The Peninsula, is a grand French restaurant where the desserts are an art form. Cantonese Dining at its Best
Excellent, family oriented Cantonese restaurants are in abundant supply across Hong Kong. You will find the heavenly best when you dine at One Harbor Road at the Grand Hyatt. Fine dining judges consider this a jewel among Hong Kong's Cantonese establishments. It is famous for the wide repertoire of delicacies offered and the shark's fin soup is outstanding. Some of the best modern Chinese in the world is found in the Mid-Levels district. Hollywood Road links the Mid-Levels area with Hong Kong's version of SoHo - South of Hollywood Road. This neighborhood is chock-a-block with jazzy cafés and urbane martini bars too. Floating Restaurants
Dining boundaries are expanded in Hong Kong to take full advantage of the breathtaking city and harbor scenery. You will have a unique experience that truly showcases the sights, sounds and tastes of Hong Kong when you dine at the Jumbo Floating Restaurant or Tai Pak Floating Restaurant at Aberdeen Harbor. Food from the Heart
Traditionally, Chinese housewives would serve tiny, steamed dumplings as breakfast to their husbands or houseguests. They said these dumplings were made with great love and care for the husband, visitors or for restaurant patrons and they called these dumplings "dim-sum" or if translated, "from the heart". Having a Chinese dim sum meal is an absolute must for any visitor to Hong Kong. While the choices of dim sum places ranges from rather unsophisticated local places to up-market hotels, dim sum restaurants in Hong Kong are very lively lunchtime meeting places. Good dim sum restaurants are found in prime commercial areas like Central, Tsim-Sha-Tsui or Causeway Bay or in fairly prestigious shopping centers such as Pacific Place or Times Square. There are over 2000 varieties of dim sum so you do not need to have the same type more than once. Try har gau which is shrimp dumplings, cha siu bau the barbecued-pork buns or tsun guen are the real spring rolls. Yuk Lu Teahouse is a sedate venue for excellent love-filled food. Tea is a Nectar
Ever since Emperor Shen Nung sat under a camellia tree 5000 years ago, tea has been China's national beverage. Some of the camellia tree's leaves were blown into a cauldron of boiling water and the resulting fragrance tempted the emperor to sip the brew. The Chinese never developed elaborate tea rituals and ceremonies in the manner of the Japanese. They have followed the rules of a Tang Dynasty scholar and poet, Lu Yu, on tea-making. He identified the proper way to brew tea, what water to use and the ideal surroundings in which to sip the heavenly nectar. Some teahouses in Hong Kong still maintain such a tradition. The most famous in Central District is the Luk Yu Teahouse, or the Lock Cha Tea House in Admiralty where Mr Ip offers tea appreciation classes. High Tea Hong Kong Style
The colonial history of Hong Kong lives on in the sumptuous high tea spread, served at the high-ceilinged lobby of The Peninsula. Reserve ahead if possible for a lavish tea with scones and finger sandwiches displayed on silver trays. The Shangri-La Hotel in Kowloon is another institutional venue for high tea in Hong Kong, renowned for the magnificent variety of accompaniments to your relaxing tea. Restaurants Bistro Manchu
