Fanling · Hong Kong
Sun Hon Kee is a Hakka restaurant in Fanling, up in the New Territories near the mainland border, run by chef So Wai Hon — it spent about twenty years in Luen Wo Market before moving to its current room in 2019. It is known for mui choi kau yuk and for oyster pancakes made with oysters from nearby Starling Inlet.

It continues to be one of my favourite Chinese restaurants.

Really traditional cooking that you can't actually get downtown in Hong Kong anymore.
