The China Club

“Ah, that foreigners’ place”, – was my Hong Kongese friend’s reaction when I told her I booked at the China Club for our dinner. Even if this private restaurant/club has a very exclusive reputation, you don’t feel very much exclusive when you are at the place. If you are staying…

Lung King Heen – the best Chinese in the world?

Lung King Heen is the only restaurant in Hong Kong that got three Michelin stars. Obviously, it is the only Chinese (Cantonese) that I know who has such a high rating. So is it really the best Chinese in the world? I am not a big connoisseur of Chinese food.…
