Ying Jee Club

I didn’t have chance to visit a lot of local restaurants for dim sum, but the dim sum collection I had at Ying Jee Club was definitely a memorable one.

It was absolutely one of the best meals I've ever had—just imagine how delicious it would be if I could actually dine-in at the restaurant!

The Chairman Restaurant

Michelin 1-star · Central · Chinese · map

I have no hesitation picking The Chairman as my favourite place in Hong Kong. Mr. Danny Yip is a restaurateur I personally respect so much. It’s hard to pick just one dish as a signature or favourite because every time I visit, I am impressed by the amount of effort behind every dish.
