Six restaurants, three Michelin stars each – and we sample them all
Hong Kong is a city of restaurants and a foodie haven. Seemingly every week there’s a new opening, adding to the huge array of dining options. Out of all those restaurants, only six have achieved the coveted three-Michelin-star rating. In the interest of research and for the benefit of Business Traveler readers, I made it my mission to visit all six of those restaurants for lunch or dinner. Here are the results of that arduous experiment:
T’ANG COURT
Located inside the stylish Langham Hong Kong in Kowloon, T’ang Court is perhaps the most traditional of the six restaurants. It pays tribute to the Tang Dynasty (618 AD - 907 AD) considered a high point of Chinese culture. T’ang Court’s menu highlights traditional Cantonese favorites and strives for authenticity. The menu is paired with an extensive wine list and excellent, formal service from a knowledgeable staff.
My evening was a delicious six-course tasting dinner, complete with wine pairings. Dinner started with some pan-fried rice flour rolls with a homemade spicy sauce coupled with a pair of delicious Cantonese-style barbecued pork spare ribs. After that came stir-fried mixed mushrooms and fungus with black truffle paste stuffed in a cooked tomato and served in a bowl of pumpkin soup. Next, a sauteed cod filet was served with cod fish taro puffs.
After the cod, we had stir-fried diced Japanese Wagyu beef, followed by fried rice with scallops, avocado, Yunnan ham and corn. The first dessert course was another traditional Cantonese treat, baked egg tarts followed by a platter of fresh, seasonal fruit, served with some delightful sparkling Piedmontese Moscato wine.
