What should you order at Kam Tung Kitchen? The dishes the people who recommend it mention: lobster Shaanxi noodles.
Kam Tung Kitchen has spent 35 years on Shau Kei Wan Main Street East cooking Tanka cuisine — the food of Hong Kong's boat-dwelling communities — under chef Po Yau-fai and his wife Ada Kwok Yin-lai. It is a neighbourhood dining room rather than a destination one, which is what makes its guest list unusual: four people who run their own kitchens and shops keep sending others here.

What I love about the local eatery is that, besides the amazing food, it’s such a family affair, so charming and heartwarming.

In Shau Kei Wan. It serves traditional boat people's cuisine, and I think it's a very iconic cuisine for Hong Kong.

They do boatmen recipes, so they're kind of rare to find these days in Hong Kong.
