    China Tang Hong Kong

    Published: Dec 6, 2018 by Jennifer Che

    China Tang Hong Kong

    China Tang began - of all places - in London back in 2007. It's one of many businesses founded by Hong Kong born entrepreneur and socialite, Sir David Tang, who also founded Shanghai Tang and the China Clubs. After seeing much success in London as a place where celebrities hung out, China Tang opened its second location in Hong Kong in 2013.

    China Tang Hong Kong has thrived since coming to Asia. There are now two locations, one at Central in the Landmark Center and the other in Harbour City at Tsim Sha Tsui.

    The TST location has gorgeous harbour views and has an impressive line up of chefs who have previously trained at Michelin starred restaurants: executive Chef Li Cheung, cold dish Chef Angus Ye, and roasted Beijing duck Chef Tony Zhao (yes, they have very specialized chefs!!).

    This elegant, high end restaurant serves food from Guangdong, Jiangnan and Beijing and it's excellent. The prices are not cheap, but the quality is well worth it. It's a great place to treat someone to a special Chinese meal.

    Here's a look at some of the many dishes that I've tried!

    Soup

    China Tang Hong Kong
    Sir David hot & sour soup is filled with quality seafood and has a wonderful balanced flavor. (HKD98 per person)

    Seafood

    Typhoon shelter shrimp is a delight to eat, with generous mounds of fried garlic and chili.

    Meat

    China Tang Hong Kong
    The chicken is fantastic with a beautiful crispy skin.  (half HKD238; whole HKD468)

    Deep fried pork spare ribs marinated in shrimp paste (HKD228)
    China Tang
    Sweet & sour pork was unusual in its use of blackberries.

    Vegetables

    China Tang
    Snap peas, papaya, and lily bulb in a fried "nest" was refreshing and light. HKD128
    China Tang Hong Kong
    Braised bean curd sheet, ginkgo nuts, and seasonal vegetables  (HKD138)

    Rice + Noodles

    China Tang
    Seafood fried rice with sun-dried shrimp and king prawn coral (HKD198)

    Another view!

    Desserts

    China Tang
    Baked "running" custard buns are called such because the custardy inside flows out when you bite into the bun. It's called a pineapple bun because of the designs of the textured sugary top. HKD42
    China Tang
    Chilled sago cream with pomelo and mango was excellent. HKD42
    China Tang Hong Kong
    Ground almond cream is another classic Chinese dessert, and they do a nice job here. HKD42
    China Tang Hong Kong
    It's never a bad idea to get egg tarts. These are baked to order and they are very nice. (HKD39)
    China Tang
    I loved this upscale version of the mala black sugar steamed cake. This version uses a really dark sugar cane as well as honey. It was really good! HKD42

    China Tang Hong Kong - General Thoughts

    China Tang is a great restaurant that does a lot of things quite well. I typically come where when I want to treat out-of-town friends to a nicer Chinese meal. The environment is beautiful, the views are great, and the food is really good. It's nice to come with a slightly larger group so that you can try more dishes.

    All in all, highly recommended!
