  1. A

    Restoran Oversea

    An unpretentious banquet restaurant that should feel comfortingly familiar to anyone who has spent time in mainland China. Specialities include pork belly, fish (cooked in various styles) and streaky bacon cooked in a pot with dried chillies.

    Si Chuan Dou Hua

    For a break from Cantonese seafood and dim sum, head to this sleek modern place in the Parkroyal hotel and try fiery Sichuan dishes from southwest China. Green tea flows freely from giant long-spouted teapots.

    Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao

    Avidly patronised chain that turn out excellent hand-cut noodles and dim sum (sweet and savoury mini dishes), with a photographic menu whose pictures actually resemble the delicious food you’re served.
