In-Depth Information
This 80-year-old restaurant, packed with older men reading newspapers and extended famil-
ies, has decent dim sum (until 5pm) and old-school Cantonese dishes. The grandfather-like
waiters still wear traditional white tunics over black trousers, and pour tea from huge brass
kettles. Tables are shared at this no-frills place, giving a feel of community even for first-
timers.

Island Tang can easily be a place where, as the Chinese say, one goes to 'devour the decor'
- the 1930s art-deco interior is sheer elegance. But admirably, the restaurant has kept its
culinary standards extremely high. The exquisite selections range from Cantonese home-
cooking to banquet-style seafood dishes, which means a meal can set you back HK$300 or
HK$3000.

Military-like control of food quality has earned seven of the 10 Lei Garden outlets, includ-
ing this one, a Michelin star, but this IFC branch has the most contemporary environment
and the most professional staff. Signature dishes include roast meats, dim sum and the
award-winning dessert - sweet sago soup with mango and pomelo. Booking essential.

With its location on the Star Ferry Pier, Watermark commands panoramic views of Victoria
Harbour. It's airy during the day and romantic at night, and you can feel the sway of the
waves at some of the tables. Dry-aged rib-eye and seafood are the highlights of its solid
European menu.
