If you are going to be visiting Kowloon in Hong Kong during your travels, here's a list of the best restaurants in town.
Spring deer is a restaurant that specialises in serving authentic Cantonese flavours. The restaurant is popular for the roast meat, especially the exquisitely cooked Peking duck. Many locals also claim that this restaurant is the one that serves the best portion of duck pancakes in the entire city. If there are claims of that order, you really need to visit and taste them yourself, right? The prices aren't really cheap here, and it is a little more than average prices. However, they serve large portions with quick service. This restaurant has been operating since the 1970s and the interior decor has changed time to time, adding elements of times gone by. Make sure to reserve seats beforehand!
Hong Kong is not lacking when it comes to rooftop restaurants, and there're many of them to explore. But one of the restaurants that stand out is the Nanhai No.1 Restaurant located on the iSquare Rooftop. Here, you can try out your favourite dishes with some breath-taking views of the city. Don't expect this restaurant to be on the highest floor. It isn't. The views, however, are still stunning and worth the trip there. And if you haven't tried Cantonese dishes before, this would be a good place to start. The food is cooked to perfection and the flavours are on point. If you need a bite of something western during your travels, then western restaurants in Hong Kong, the likes of ones in Dorsett Tsuen Wan, is located only a fifteen-minute drive from Nanhai No.1 Restaurant.
Tim Ho Wan is a local favourite place to dine and is always almost packed with diners. The Tim Ho Wan, a Michelin-starred restaurant, became popular throughout the world, as it is one of the cheapest restaurants among all the other star-studded ones in the world. In here, you need to try the popular dim sum, and there're about thirty varieties of food to choose from. From chicken feet to har gao, are all available here! So, do not miss out on the Michelin-starred restaurant on your travels to Kowloon this vacation. The chances are you might not come across restaurants of this calibre at these prices in your travels elsewhere.
Like mentioned before, there aren't limits when it comes to rooftop dining. Another popular place to check out is Above and Beyond. And as the name suggests, you are above, up on the 28th floor, and will be swept by the views, beyond. This is also a good place to check out Cantonese dishes but with a twist. Traditional recipes are altered with new flavours and ingredients creating an exquisite dish that must be devoured!
Try the temple spice crabs for authentic local dining. They are an open aired restaurant specialising in serving you with an array of seafood. And the seafood is freshly cooked!
