Best local restaurants in Central

Yung Kee is known for its exceptional roasted goose which comes with crisp skin with juicy and tender meat when many restaurants in Hong Kong serve only the roasted duck.  Our recommendations here are their delicious roasted duck, the wonton noodle, and the Chinese style beef fillet which comes with onions and its tasty sauce.  Overall, Yung Kee serves very firm and reliable meal but make sure you try their roast goose when you are there!

Another place that is worth checking out at the Central is Ser Wong Fun which has long been a very popular spot with locals and foreigners who live in Hong Kong.  The snake soup here is exceptional and a "must order", while the pork chops and fried rice are very decent. It is not difficult to find out why the restaurant is always full of poeple. If you are looking for the authentic Cantonese cuisine for a reasonable price, Ser Wong Fun is definitely an excellent choice.

When we first had Chairman's preserved plum and cinnamon flavored sweet and sour pork spare ribs (very innovative flavor of plum), the soy sauce chicken, and longjing tea and chrysanthemum smoked pigeon (impressive smoked tender meat), we were quite surprised how such a small restaurant in a hidden street in between Central and Sheung Wan could serve such high standard dishes. The food in The Chairman is indeed phenomenal with so much thoughts put into every detail. The staffs were also very polite in an elegant manner which leaves everyone happy. If you are looking for an authentic Cantonese, make sure to make a reservation at The Chairman in advance.

Kau Kee Restaurant, known for its best beef brisket noodles, has a long history on Gough Street.  What makes it so amazing about the restaurant is its unchangeable flavor that never gets bored or rather insatiable which may make you eagerly want to have a bowl once in a while. On the other hand, this local restaurant is not a fancy restaurant with a refined service and a relaxing atmosphere, it is best to have a bowl and leave once you are finished.

The Square serves a very traditional Cantonese food in a spacious and relaxing atmosphere with fine music. The excellent initial impression at the entrance with delicious dishes such as bird's nest stuffed in bamboo pith with crabmeat and crab roe sauce which had a very delicate taste of seafood mixed with shredded bamboo, the steamed lobster dumplings with fresh and firm texture of the lobster meat inside, and the shark's fin and wonton soup which had a perfect blend of the rich taste of the wonton and the freshness of the shark fin. Just a little bit pricey for us to introduce depending on what to order, but what you get for return is just outstanding.
