1. Hutong

Hutong is one of Hong Kong’s premier Chinese restaurants, often making the world’s best-restaurant lists and boasting an inviting decor with stunning harbour views.

Popular with locals and tourists alike, this contemporary Northern Chinese restaurant with modern flair serves signature dishes such as pork belly with cucumber slices or cod fried in yellow fungus with Shaoxing wine sauce – not to be missed!

At this location, it’s not only the food that will leave you satisfied; the 28th-floor view offers unobstructed views from Central all the way to North Point on clear days.

Beijing’s hutongs are an inimitable neighborhood, featuring narrow and winding alleyways with small single-storey homes at their ends.

Hutong living offers an alternative approach to city life and has a strong community feel. Many hutong streets are preserved due to historical considerations; as a result, residents frequently opt to reside here since rent prices tend to be less costly compared to outside the city limits.

When in China, it is absolutely vital to experience a Hutong first-hand – you won’t regret it!

On my travels through China, I visited various hutongs. Each was distinct in character – some were peaceful and tranquil while others bustled with daily activity. Each had its own story to tell and an alluring element.

2. Inagiku

Inagiku, the pioneer Japanese restaurant in midtown Manhattan, underwent a $1.3 million transformation under chef Haruo Ohbu’s creative guidance. Ohbu challenged what it means to be an American chef when creating Asian cuisine using modern approaches that reinterpret classic ingredients while providing bold new innovations.

The menu offers both traditional sushi and sashimi along with more imaginative, free-form Japanese dishes such as sea urchin roe on uni toast or tempura eel and salmon baked in rock salt – as well as innovative offerings like sea urchin roe on uni toast!

There are also elaborate omakase tasting dinners where guests select what they wish to eat from a menu – this allows guests to sample everything on offer all at once! It is a fantastic opportunity for tasting everything on offer while being served it all at the same time.

Order their signature Wagyu beef set featuring Sukiyaki and Shabu Shabu to experience Japanese dining without leaving home! Perfect as both a gift or for yourself!

Try going all-out with the Kaiseki set for an extravagant dining experience that includes premium quality ingredients and expert chefs’ skills in fine cuisine. It may cost more than other restaurants but is certainly worth every cent spent!

Restaurant’s all-female service staff wear attractive kimonos and Japanese slippers and provide efficient and polite service, offering great recommendations on wines that accompany your meal.

Inagiku offers two private tatami rooms that can comfortably accommodate up to 18 guests. Its interiors combine elements from Edo and modern Japanese art styles. Design elements such as the entrance sand garden, floating panels, and the streamlined waterfall help achieve this desired effect.

3. The Merchants

The Merchants is named in honor of the trading houses that helped connect China to the rest of the world during Qing dynasty, serving classic dishes from Shanghai and its neighboring provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Led by Executive Chef Chen Tian Long formerly from Michelin-star Jardin de Jade, The Merchants offers traditional flavors with modern flare.

At Forty-Five on Gloucester Tower in Landmark, The Merchants offers breathtaking views of Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour. Designed by Sean Dix and Victoria Tang-Owen of Thirty30 Creative, its design pays homage to Belle Epoque Shanghai by featuring luxurious decor such as custom cherry wood banquettes with jade onyx details that line its walls.

Signature dishes of Huaiyang restaurant include jasmine tea-smoked duck; steamed herring with slices of Jinhua Ham in aged Shaoxing wine, noodles with dried shrimps, scallion soy sauce and crispy shredded Mandarin fish from an age-old Huaiyang recipe and crispy shredded Mandarin fish that demonstrates its age-old recipe. In addition, dim sum and set lunch menus are also offered here.

Hong Kong’s recent economic surge has inspired foodies to experiment with new ingredients and styles of cuisine, leading many pundits to believe that Hong Kong may be headed in the direction of creating a culinary scene similar to other developed economies.

As a result, chefs in Hong Kong have turned towards offering haute dishes which incorporate foreign ingredients and trends, disrupting traditional training methods that focus on one-to-one practical apprenticeships and encourage focusing on traditional cooking techniques.

Hong Kong restaurants still serve classic dishes passed down from generations, such as the traditional stir-fried shredded Mandarin fish requiring expert technique, or the Osmanthus Honey Glazed Jinhua Ham with Crispy Bean Curd Sheet, an irresistibly delectable take on a popular Jiangsu and Zhejiang dish.

4. Ah Shun

This Michelin-recommended Hong Kong noodle joint specializes in serving an intense fish broth without added MSG flavor enhancer. They also serve up delicious kale as a side dish and offer various kinds of noodles such as fried pork or beef tendon noodles for you to choose from.

Sweet and Sour Pork, another Hong Kong classic, is an oft-used dish in Cantonese cuisine. After being battered and fried, the pork is stir fried with bell peppers and onions in a sweet vinegary sauce before being enjoyed. Unfortunately it can sometimes turn out too salty; but with proper preparation it can also become deliciously satisfying!

Ah Shun stands out among Hong Kong restaurants as not only one of the premier seafood eateries but also as a renowned roasted meat restaurant, known for their excellent roast pork belly and boiled chicken with ginger-scallion sauces.

At their restaurant, one of the more impressive dishes on their menu includes roast duck and cured duck leg. Furthermore, there are specialities like frog’s legs and eel to try as well.

Ren’s cousin took us here late one evening for clay pot rice – Chinese-style food prepared in an earthen pot and topped with various ingredients – at this odd looking restaurant that looks somewhere between food court and garage but really delivers a tasty experience.

Only downside of this noodle shop is its potentially long queues; but if you want authentic and affordable noodle dining options in Hong Kong, then the wait may well be worth your while.

Mammy Pancake, another Michelin-recommended street food stall, specializes in egg puffs – those popular and enjoyable spherical bubble wrap-shaped snacks that have quickly become one of the favorite treats among Hong Kong residents. Additionally, they make exceptional coffee egg puffs.
