Hong Kong: Lung King Heen @ Four Seasons Hotel

Upon confirming our Hong Kong trip with my Mother, I immediately requested we had a proper dim sum meal – and it easily served as something to look forward to throughout our stay. We managed to secure an early lunch seating at the Four Season’s Lung King Heen – a three Michelin star restaurant combining beautiful food with an equally astonishing view (provided it’s not typically hazy that day.)

Most of my early afternoons in Hong Kong were spent wandering around mindlessly shopping with my cousin, so we were often left to find our own lunch. Her dad recommended we try a Michelin starred wanton noodle shop along Wellington Street, but without a shop name and an abundance of wanton noodle shops we decided to venture into the one with the longest queue.

Last weekend I tagged along on one of my Mother’s work trips to Hong Kong with the sole purpose of eating, shopping and relaxing. Considering my jeans felt a little tighter, that I fear the day my Mother receives my credit card statement and that I spent every evening in a bathtub, my “goals” can be deemed successful. A short trip meant a lot of careful meal related decision-making and planning, but it was a fruitful one at that.

Although not every meal was worth documenting, my culinary highlights varied between a bowl of noodles at a street-side coffee shop to Dim Sum lunch at the Four Seasons hotel. I’ve picked out a few of my favorite and more memorable meals to feature in a series of posts to follow.
