This is the flagship restaurant of the restaurant strip in Tai Mei Tuk, the one that launched the entire fleet. It remains very popular for its authentic Thai curries, soups and fish dishes but caters for less adventurous locals with a few Chinese offerings.

A Touch Of Spice
This is one of several trendy restaurant/bars stacked up Japanese-style at 10 Knutsford Terrace. This one does Thai curries, Indonesian and Vietnamese noodles and stir-fried dishes. Most meals are good value, unless you go for the seafood.

Asian Kitchen
A number of foodies on the quest for the best Hainan chicken rice in town have found themselves ending up here in this far-flung place. The bak kut teh (herbal pork-rib soup) has also won quite a few fans.
-
Golden Bull
The crowds who descend on this place at lunch and dinner are not coming for the atmosphere (noisy) or service (abrupt), but the excellent-quality, low-cost Vietnamese food.
-
Good Satay
This place on the 1st floor of a shopping and office complex doesn't look promising but it serves some of the best (and most authentic) laksa and sate in town, as well as Hainan chicken rice (around HK$39 ) that has people travelling in from other parts of town. It's packed at lunch.

Indonesian Restaurant 1968
This erstwhile dive has recently got a much needed face-lift and has added the year of its founding to its name - just so you won't forget. The food? It still serves pretty authentic rendang, gado-gado and the like, with improved presentations but in considerably smaller portions. There's a Tsim Sha Tsui branch (2619 1926, 2-4A Observatory Rd) and a Sha Tin branch (2699 8777, Shop 701 in Shatin New Town Plaza Phase 1).

Kowloon City Thai Restaurants
Kai Tak airport may have shut down in 1998, but the neighbourhood of Kowloon City to the northeast of Tsim Sha Tsui is still worth a journey. This is Hong Kong's Thai quarter, and the area's restaurants are the place for a tom yum and green-curry fix. Kowloon City, packed with herbalists, jewellers, tea merchants and bird shops, is worth a postprandial look around.

The Thai food here is not the most authentic - a jaded palate might even find the tom yum and pomelo salad lacking in heat - but it's the location and the sophistication that will get you through the door. Besides, there is another restaurant inside this restaurant. A branch of Zen, an upscale Cantonese restaurant whose Admiralty flagship draws quite a crowd, takes up the inner space. Soya marinated chicken would be highly recommended.

Qing
Time seems to stand still at this place, which resembles a street-side bistro in Hanoi. Blocked out from traffic, the outdoor tables offer an ambience increasingly hard to come by in hyperactive Hong Kong. Go light with the Vietnamese-style rice paper rolls or indulge in a steak smothered with Roquefort - it's all up to you, and the wine is always fab.

Sabah

Shek O Chinese & Thai Seafood
This hybrid of a place is hardly authentic in either category, but the portions are generous, the staff are convivial and the cold Tsingtao beers just keep on flowing.
-
Song
This very stylish though somewhat cramped Vietnamese eatery, down an unnamed alleyway between Peel and Aberdeen Sts, serves refined (some might say overly so) Vietnamese food to the denizens of Soho.
-
Thai Basil
This basement mall restaurant turns out some surprisingly authentic (and quite lovely) Thai dishes. This may not be a destination but it's not a bad stop along the way. The sticky banana pudding is the ultimate blast for the sweet tooth.
-
Thai Shing
If you want the best Thai food on Hong Kong Island and you couldn't care less about eating off a Formica tabletop and being assaulted by cheesy Thai pop, this is where you should be. The folks here won't give you top-notch service either, but once that delicious tom kha gai , padthai and kaeng hit the table, nothing else matters.
-
Yin Ping Vietnamese Restaurant
This little place is the 'anchor' Vietnamese restaurant on a street with more than a few of those eateries. Set lunches with soup are a snip at around HK$37 .
-
Yummy Vietnamese Restaurant
This place looks like a fast food canteen but it's actually a truly authentic Vietnamese restaurant that serves even the most exotic of dishes, such as duck foetus egg (around HK$18 ). But no need to go that far if all you want is a bowl of truly satisfying pho (from around HK$25 ) or roasted pigeon in lemongrass HK$60 .
