I completely dismissed this restaurant originally when I saw the gimmicky presentations, but some dishes offer a playful interpretation. Should try: Roast Pigeon was cooked perfectly. Succulent and juicy. They offer gloves which is a fantastic idea to eat the small bird. Beef char siu was tender and had good flavor and char texture. The thyme was decorative but added a nice scent. Interesting: Mangosten fritter is more for the look but also had a nice crab lobster sauce filling. Meh: Charcoal Buns were sweet and savory but does not taste different from the traditional version Sponge Xiao Lung Biao- Normally I love this dish but the change up here did not do anything for me. I wasn't too impressed by the filling nor the skin. If you are new to or want traditional dim sum go elsewhere. Also I didn't really order from the dinner style selections. Glad I didn't because they are small portions and didn't look that novel. If you are like me and had dim sum countless number of times, it is fun to try things with a twist. The woman next to me kept admiring how the food was presented. Look for the L signage and go to the second floor. Casual clean open dining room. Not crazy about the ant decals but it feeds into the playful nature of the restaurant.

The place is fairly large actually, at least for a second floor restaurant? While there were a lot of people here, there was also a fair bit of seating. The service staff is pretty good, don't have any complaints here. The food aspect is quite interesting here. They have a lot of new stuff, which includes new takes on classic items, as well as new things that they invented themselves. I believe that some of these are quite similar to other things that people have experimented with, but it's no less welcome to see it. However, I wasn't a huge fan of the food overall. We got some stuff like pork puff pastries, the vegetarian siu mai (which sadly is not that great, but whatever), claims in chinese medicine soup (which was pretty gross), the truffle chicken, a few small dishes. Overall, I think they are trying a bit too hard to mess with things that are already quite decent. I appreciate the experimentation, but it's probably not for me.

There are good variety of breakfast items including pastries, continental breakfast, dim sum like shrimp dumplings, fried rice, porridge and American hot breakfast like cook to order eggs.

The latte and cappuccino however is average. Overall I still rate this 5 stars since it is better than all HGI breakfast in the US that I have been to.

Our order was: pork wontons in spicy…read moresauce, and we did the 3 set meal with the fried eggplant, Beijing style minced pork noodles, and the XLB. Total cost was $194 HKD including the service charge. Pros: - really tasty food, a user-friendly menu especially if you're a tourist or expat, food comes out quickly and the tea is really good paired with the food. - fast and friendly service, English menu available - festive interior with lots of paintings, lanterns hanging from ceiling - great air conditioning , recommend you don't get a seat behind the fan units or else you won't feel it - decent portions for the price of a fancier sit down restaurant with tablecloths (but I'm writing this from the point of view of an American tourist , it might be considered more pricey if you're a local ) Cons: - Google maps isn't great when it comes to Asia and restaurants on different levels /floors - this place is under a few escalators - the 2 soup dumplings were squished into a tiny serving dish, so it was really hard to get them out without having the soup leak. But that's my only complaint Overall, I 10/10 would come back here for food if I'm in the mid-levels area. Delicious, fast service, good Chinese food. - May not be as "authentic" if you're looking for the really intense flavors of Szechuan cuisine etc, but I feel like it's pretty obvious from its appearance and location that this is for expats/tourists. There were definitely a few white people here, but there were also locals here , so that's promising to me. I really don't think it's fair to fault the place for being more westernized, it's in a neighborhood that serves a lot of international expats anyway.

RELENTLESSLY GOOD…read more Seated within moments. Orders taken meticulously, and -- I hasten to add -- without pen or paper. A solid start for CHINA TANG We did something we never do and took the set menu, the dearer one, around HK$1,200. Everyone at the table agreed. And, in truth, as the waiter disappeared, I regretted the choice. "Oh God, I thought, here comes the reheated banquet!" Well, lunch opened with honey-roasted barbecued pork, marinated baby spinach, crushed walnuts and sesame; alongside marinated Yunnan tamarillo with diced aloe and preserved plum sauce. What a way to begin. Every mouthful distinctive, and each dish a proper complement to the other. "Fasten the seatbelts", I thought. "The train wreck is coming." Wrong again! The next course was trio of dim sum: steamed scallop dumpling with black garlic; steamed crab meat dumpling with cuttlefish mousse and conpoy; steamed assorted mushroom dumpling. The black garlic was pungent and strong without ever bullying the plate. The crab dumpling was a delightful little pocket, elegantly balanced by the cuttlefish. The mushroom was the quiet one, and all the better for it. Then came the double-boiled winter melon soup with chicken, crab meat, prawn, ham and mushroom. I had heard the table describe winter melon as a cross between pumpkin and bitter melon. I hate bitter melon. (More clenched jaw business as the course was set down). Readers, I stopped mid-spoon and discretely listened around the table, to establish I was not the only person making noises sounds more appropriate for intimate congress. I was not. Dessert is generally a no-no. Throwing caution to the wind, noting the absence of sugar / butter / gluten, I selected the chilled ice jelly with imperial bird's nest, walnuts, peanuts, assorted fruit and a rose mint syrup. Lord have mercy! A masterclass in restraint. And a tickle on the palate with every considered mouthful. In short, CHINA TANG was not too much, not too little, just right, with enough space between courses to catch a breath. The service was effortlessly attentive -- teacups refilled seconds after they emptied, staff gliding in and out without the feeling of imposition or a hint of fuss. The decor is smart, elegant and particular. The waiters are adorably smart in thier uniforms. The restaurant itself seems to compromised of a main dining room with a few smaller ante rooms. The only downside: the washrooms. After the epicurean drama of lunch, the washrooms were just..... washrooms. That's hardly a problem Across the board, CHINA TANG delivers (deftly) in spades SUMMARY: 10 10 10 10 10 across the board.

We had many staff ask after our order but we took a very long time to choose. One of the staff eventually advised us on their best and most popular meals and we ordered the soft shell crab salad, the grilled beef salad and the crispy whole snapper. The food was DELICIOUS. I'm not a crazy fan of Indonesian food or at least I thought I wasn't but the meat was soft and succulent and the sauces and all the ingredients were just divine. Thinking about it is making my mouth water. Service was very attentive and gracious and most importantly the music was perfect. Admittedly probably my taste but more important than that, at least last Friday, was that it wasn't too loud and overpowering. I could have a nice conversation with my husband without having to shout but still had the pleasant ambience of good music playing in the background. I can't imagine it would be too pleasant a meal if the ambience as well as the food hadn't been so perfect.

Relatively reasonably priced cocktails, plenty of vegetarian options and a chic space - the place was good. The drinks and the food, both impressive. The pomelo salad with lime leaf, banana blossom, cucumber and Vietnamese mint was nice and refreshing. The Vietnamese mint has something extra to it, that I quite like. The banana blossoms added that earthiness. Thai dry yellow curry of minced impossible meat with lemongrass was a hit. You could wrap that up in the lettuce cups they served, but I happily ate it without it (because coronavirus and I preferred not to use my hands). Saag burrata - the palak paneer or saag paneer, with burrata instead of paneer was very well executed. Pad thai tasted good, but could've been saucier, if I may. The red curry with pumpkin, tofu, long beans and okra hit the spot on taste and creaminess. The moong dal palak tadka - Indian lentils, while good weren't as great as I can prepare at home. (Yeah, modesty goes for a toss :p) The nasi goreng is hard to mess up and was decent. The only disappointment on the food was stir-fried okra. It didn't taste or look stir-fried and was very raw. If it were just the hubster and I, I would've probably have it re-done.  The drinks were refreshing and tasted well. I had one Hot Mama -gin, ginger, chili and homemade ginger beer with dried citrus fruit. This was followed by a Lemon Chilli Martini - vodka, limoncello, pink grapefruit and lemongrass syrup with chilli and again, dried citrus fruit.  The hubster had a Pineapple Kaffir Lime Margarita - tequila, triple sec, pineapple juice and kaffir lime leaves with a dried slice of pineapple.  After a quiet dinner, it was quite a task to get the children to wrap up and get home.  Pictures on the blog - thevegetarianvoyager
