Going to HK soon. Anyone has any recommendations for places to use dining credit? Any place with veggie options would be highly appreciated!
Hello! It’s rare I can contribute to this but here goes – I had a fabulous evening at the Man Wah in the Mandarin Oriental right on the harbourfront earlier this year. Not sure on the veggie options but the menus can be viewed online. I was solo travelling and made to feel really welcome, with a table at the window.
Before I ate, I had a drink at the Aubrey bar on the ground floor, and a few cocktails afterwards at the Captains Bar (just across the same floor as the Man Wah). Drinks in these 2 weren’t part of the Dining Credit, and it’s not a cheap meal – my meal used the whole credit, but a one-off special evening as part of my holiday in Hong Kong!
Enjoy!
Thank you so much!
Any suggestions for a restaurant serving Dim Sum using the dining credit? We normally dine with a friend who lives there so I’d like to stretch the credit to cover the 3 of us and a dim sum lunch with a couple of main dishes seems the best way to do it.
Two I’ve looked are The Summer Palace at the S-La and One Harbour Road.
I would vouch for any of them. All the hotel ones are fine if you can make a rez. I can vouch for Sky Boss if you want canto food (they have dim sum). I can also vouch for HEXA if you want fusionish canto food. I can vouch for Mott 32 if you want canto food where they have international presence.
Yong Fu has a Shanghainese menu so I think is not what you are looking for.
That said, Out of the list, I’d say Xin Rong Ji would get you the “strangest” menu of all.Ok, if you want the most genuine canto food out of the list, I would say either Sky Boss, or Icon Hotel has the most genuine menu. If you are on the HK Island and don’t want to cross over, Mott32 or Grand Hyatt is very nice too.
My gripe with Lung King Heen and Man Wah, it’s a little foreign catered to my liking.
And yes, I grew up in Hong Kong and have been to most on that list.The thing with Dim Sum is that there are lots of cheaper options out there which are just as good. The ones on the Plat list tend to charge a lot more for style over substance, such as Lung King Heen and Man Wah which @icemankaka mentioned are more “foreign catered”.
But that’s just my opinion – it’s not a bad choice by any means!
Not dining credit related, but does anyone have any 1 Michelin star restaurants they recommend in Hong Kong? Have an anniversary coming up.
