Hutong Restaurant, One Peking Road – Hong Kong

胡同,a very famous restaurant located on Level 28 of One Peking Road, Hong Kong.

Special thanks to my ex colleague Mr. Lau for recommending this place to me!

This restaurant received its first Michelin star early last year.

To be honest I am not surprised as the ambience of the restaurant is one of the best and the decoration is definitely unique in its own way in Hong Kong!

Cute little display greeted us when we were shown to our table.

We got the table by the window, which has a minimum spending of HKD$1000. I knew about this charge before going so I didn’t ask for a table by the window, as there are only the two of us, however the waiter informed me that no min charge is being imposed on us. Hooray!

The restaurant is decorated to resemble the ancient courtyard neighbourhood of Peking

Recommend dish- Crispy de-boned lamb ribs. This dishes is best among the three that we’ve ordered.

Grill spare ribs- very mid charcoal taste, the meat was soft enough but no wow factor to it

very plain vegetables, wrong order by us

Our dessert, another recommended dish- Mango Puding in the shape of fishes!Nice to see, not nice to eat!

At 7.55pm, we looking forward to the Symphony of Light!

In my opinion, this restaurant is highly recommended for its ambience but not so much for its food!

We spent about HKD$800 for 2 person.

Its definitely a very romantic place to enjoy with your girlfriend/boyfriend if you do not have any budget issue! If not, you can come with a group of 4 to share the costs!

Oh, I also want to mention here that I find the toilets very spooky as it is very dark and it immediately gave me this eerie feeling upon stepping in!better go in with your girlfriend, if you go you will know what I mean! I dare not even take photos in the toilet :p

Anyway, reservation is a must.

Lol, bad taste on the mango pudding shaped like fish huh. I love mango puddings but since you said it's bad. If I had a chance to came across this restaurant I will never order those which you said not good then :D. Thanks for sharing. Nice view on the outside.
