We did not know it was a 2 star Michelin restaurant, and I was a bit apprehensive at the beginning, because we did not want to spend too much money on food on this trip. Upon our request, we were seated right in front of the Harbour view and were able to see the light show that start around 8pm. The most beautiful view of HK at night! We opted not to order the duck, which needs to be ordered 24 hour in advance and although I am sure quite delicious is quite pricy (HK$1,438+10%). Reservation in this place is a must! Highlights were the Wok-fried Wagyu with Green Peppers, Mushrooms and Garlic, Wok-seared Chicken Fillet with Lemon Sauce The server was so kind as to give us half servings so we could "sample" some of the more expensive items, add fried rice for substitution with the meat dishes and free desert. This flexibility in providing half portion and substitution is something i've rarely experience in a Michelin restaurant. Overall, we payed $US240 (1,900 Hong Kong Dollar) which includes the 10% service charge for two people for a michelin 2 star restaurant for an unforgettable meal! If I return to HK, I will definitely come back and try their dim sum.

In our recent Hong Kong trip, we were able to make an impromptu reservation for dim sum at Tin Lung…read moreHeen, a 2-Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant perched on the 102 floor of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The décor of Tin Lung Heen was luxurious and elegant, with a two-story-high ceiling and large windows overlooking Victoria Harbor, all contributing to a stunning and classy ambiance. Service was impeccable as expected. Our main server Anson was very knowledgeable of the menu and made good suggestions to us. The excellent service definitely elevated the whole dim sum experience. For the 3 of us, we ordered: Pan-fried turnip cake with minced turnip (HK$130/ US$17) Deep-fried crispy roll stuffed with crab meat (HK$122/ US$16) Steamed rice roll with cod fish meat and garlic (HK$142/ US$18) Steamed garoupa/grouper dumpling with ginger (HK$125/ US$16) Steamed shrimp dumpling with bamboo shoot (HK$130/ US$17) 3 Chilled mango cream with sago and pomelo (HK$354/ US$46) Deep-fried egg puff with sugar (HK$88/ US$11.5) Braised glutinous rice in lobster soup with scallop (half) (HK$184/ US$24) 3 Tea and condiment (HK$156/ US$20) Total HK$1,574.10/ US$203 All the dim sum were delicious, meticulously prepared and cooked to perfection. I especially enjoyed the deep-fried crispy roll stuffed with crab meat, that had a crispy skin and flavorful filling of crab meat. The chilled mango cream with sago and pomelo was very refreshing, with the perfect amount of sweetness. The only dish that did not stand out to me was the pan-fried turnip cake with minced turnip. It was lukewarm instead of hot, and the surface lacked crispiness. The minced turnip on top probably reduced the crispiness as well. When we wanted to try the braised glutinous rice in lobster soup with scallop, we were already full. It was nice that our server recommended getting a half-order of it. It was excellent. The glutinous rice soaking in lobster soup had changed its texture, it resembled congee a bit, but was full of flavors. In the end, Tin Lung Heen presented us with complimentary desserts in a Star Ferry shaped ceramic pot that bore its logo. The cookies and mochi were very good, but we were so full that we had some as leftovers to go. It was a very enjoyable dim sum lunch that totaled HK$1,574/ US$203 for 3 people, we felt that it was good value for a 2-Michelin-starred restaurant. I highly recommend it!

Abalone itself had firm texture but still tender. Puff was crispy and buttery. Pork dumpling were very delicious, too. Another highlight was BBQ combo. Soya chicken was so tender, it was bbq, however, melting in my mouth. Goose was also very flavourful. Peking duck was just ok. Mango cream with sago was still the same, great and outstanding.

(Prices mentioned in this review are in HKD, divided by 7.75 would convert to USD)…read more We have been eager to try the Spring Moon which is a Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant located on the 1st floor (equivalent to 2nd floor in the US) of the Peninsula Hotel, Hong Kong.  We treated 6 members of our extended family to dinner, with us, it was a party of 9.  Hubby did a great job choosing 4 starters, 9 other main courses, and let each person pick a dessert of his/her choice.  Please see the receipt that lists all the items.   The restaurant was set up to resemble those in the 1820s, and has an antique Shanghainese feel.  I appreciated the antique feel, but would prefer better lighting especially for photo taking of the food!  The majority of our table was in a shadow as it was mostly under the balcony, so, that was trickier to take good photos.  Also, the tables were pretty close to each other, except for the wider area in the middle leading to the tea bar.  For some, it is a stunning looking restaurant, depending on whether antique Shanghainese is your cup of tea or not.   Service was very good, but not impeccable.  It was like standard for a good restaurant.  Sometimes we did have to flag down a waiter.  But they were all nice and polite once you got their attention.  We had to remind them several times about the second course of the Peking Duck, which was the Stir-fried Minced Duck Served with Lettuce, that they might have forgotten.  However, we really need to give a special shout-out to our main server, who was friendly and was very familiar with the menu.  He gave my hubby good advice, such as the Green Lobster would be too small for 9 people, and he suggested 2.25 orders of Wok-fried Prawns with Yunnan Ham and (crispy) Bean Curd Sheet.  That was a very good recommendation!  The green veggies were placed through the huge prawns, the whole dish was fresh and tasty with beautiful presentation!  He did not up-sell us, as this choice even came up cheaper than the original Green Lobster!  He also advised on getting 1.5 orders of the Suckling Pig, 1.125 order of the BBQ Hungarian Mangalica Pork with Honey, and 1.125 order of Star Garoupa so that they would be enough to feed all 9 guests! Moments like the captain carving the Peking Duck by our tableside; a team of servers bringing individual servings of King Crab Meat Sweet and Sour Soup to us; and a team bringing individual servings of desserts, were truly impressive!  It was fun that all those bowls came covered and were opened at about the same time. The food was phenomenal!  I have been craving for the crispy skins of the Suckling Pig, Peking Duck, and Crispy Tea Chicken since we left Spring Moon!  Those were so light, thin, and crispy... a true delight to enjoy!  The Pan-seared Star Garoupa(Grouper) was also memorable!  It had a light batter that had a nice crunch, the Grouper meat inside was so fresh, tasty, smooth, and cooked to perfection!  The Steamed Crab Claw with Egg White (although a bit pricey at HK$428 per person) that we got 9 orders of was a must try!  The Crab Claw was so big and plump, the meat fresh and flavorful, and the steamed egg white was smooth and tasty!  This dish really impressed everyone!  The only dish that I did not try was the Garlic Broccoli.  Why?  I have to save some room for dessert!  So, it was either broccoli or Baked Sago Pudding with Chestnut Paste, which is a labor-intensive yummy dessert that not too many restaurants have chefs that could/would make nowadays!  The pudding was so good, it had the right amount of sweetness, and the chestnut paste in the middle was creamy and tasty!   I already wish to have the above dishes again when I go to Hong Kong next time!  Actually, the whole dinner was a delight! The other dishes Crispy Bean Curd Rolls with Carrots and Black Mushrooms, Cold Jellyfish with Dark Vinegar, Signature Fried Rice, Vermicelli with Crab Meat all worth an honorary mention!  And we even got complimentary desserts!  Each person got a bite size piece of mango pudding cake, and an almond cookie, that was so crispy and fluffy and smelled so good! The Spring Moon is famous for its vast variety of tea.  We ordered Jasmin and Oolong to go with our dishes.  Each guest picked one of the two, that paired with the Cantonese food well. All in all, the dinner at Spring Moon was worth the money!  We were all stuffed with good food!  Everyone was happy and we, as hosts, were proud as well!

We decided to go here for Dim Sum as that's what they are known for and it was our first meal in…read moreHong Kong. It's a well recognized, popular place in central Hong Kong, located by Victoria Harbour. I had heard about this place from before visiting Hong Kong. Tim Ho Wan, which is a one Michelin star rated famous dim sum place, was at the top of my list for Dim sum but we couldn't make time for it based on our sight seeing itinerary. When we got here, there was a wait but the line was moving fast. You have to mention to the front door receptionist about how many people you have in your party and you get a number. Once your number is called, you get seated. Once seated, a server comes and places plates and silverware and offers you water and tea. Tea is complimentary. I have heard that some places in hong kong charge you for tea while you are under the impression that it's complimentary. The way it works for ordering dim sum items here is that servers constantly are around pushing carts full of variety of food items. You with flag them down or when they come by your table area, you tell them what and how much you want of the foods they have on their cart. There's a list of items on the side of the cart to tell you what all they have in that cart. Once you are given what you wanted, the server marks on your bill what you got and how much of it. Later, you take that bill to the cashier and pay. We ate a lot of variety of foods. Dumplings, buns, fried rolls, roasted pork pieces, and mango oriented dessert items. It was all delicious and good. We loved it. It was worth the visit. This place is good for anyone (locals and tourists). It's in a nice setting. The restaurant room looks like a banquet hall room with white cloth tables, chandeliers and servers in uniforms. Go check this place out. I highly recommend it. It's worth eating their dim sum because it's really tasty and good.

We ordered a wonton noodle soup and they forgot the noodles and the broth was nontraditional, but the wontons were good. Overall, seems like a great place to avoid crowds and have dinner with family. As other reviewers mentioned, this is a private club and requires reservation. I asked a family member why there are clubs for restaurants there, and she said that it's for convenience and quality.

My previous visits to three-starred Michelin (Hong Kong restaurants) were disappointing -- their…read morefood was bad. Thankfully, this being only two-starred somehow exceeded them. At the very least, it meets expectations of a good restaurant. On the food side, the Blue Lobster dish is top-notch for what it is. On the other hand, the Sweetened Pistachio Cream initially fell flat -- until I discovered that mixing in the accompanying sugar coated pistachios gives the texture and some sweetness necessary to enhance the otherwise flat flavor. Unexpectedly, my favorite thing came from the petit fours. An unassuming almond shortbread cookie that proved the perfect complement to the otherwise lackluster Pistachio Cream. The outstanding thing here is the decor, for those who like luxurious opulence. Settled within the St. Regis Hotel, modern luxurious grandeur exudes throughout. Something that photos can't capture, but can be experienced in person. Service is on par for restaurants of this caliber, with the staff going above and beyond. I was super impressed when a waiter proficiently pulled out a flashlight to spotlight an abalone so I can take a better photo. Kinda funny. And a first for me. With Hong Kong being the paradise for food, amazing restaurants can be found for all price ranges. Why spend on a Michelin Star one when you can find way better food elsewhere? With a restaurant named Run, maybe I should have. But I did enjoy the decor and service. They were impressive.
