Kau Kee

It's a tourist place, but when I was young, my first time in Hong Kong, I never been to any fine dining; it was my one pick place.

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.
