Dinner at 1* Fook Lam Moon TST. Renowned as the “Billionaire’s canteen”, purportedly a regular hangout for the wealthy in HK. There have been numerous postings about poor service from non-regular diners. Fortunately my host was a regular and service was excellent throughout. Interestingly enough, there was no upselling of dishes, in fact the waiters often suggested more affordable restaurant favorites. I think the meal is best described as a very well executed homey classic cantonese dishes. Note the dishes served are devoid of garnishments…
