Tai Fung Lau Peking Restaurant 29-31 Chatham Rd Windsor Mansion Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon Tel: 2366 2494
Grub: A homey restaurant that has been serving authentic, traditional Pekingese food for almost 50 years.
Vibe: An old-style restaurant. Don't expect modern and extravagant decor, but it's nice and clean. Waiters are experienced and happy to explain their signature dishes to you.
Who to bring: Definitely not the place for date, but a good choice for family gatherings and hanging out with friends. It's perfect for mutton lovers who should try the justifiably famous mutton hotpot. What's hot: Peking Duck, the traditional Peking-style roasted duck, is a must-try. Peking duck is a good way of telling if a restaurant is worth going to. Tai Fung Lau's Peking duck is famous for its thinly sliced, crispy skin. It's served with the traditional accompaniments: pancakes, sliced cucumber and spring onion, and sweet bean sauce. It's so yummy you'll keep eating, even if you're full.
The restaurant also serves good Shandong Chicken - roasted chicken served with a special sweet sauce which brings out the taste of the tender chicken meat.
Sweet and sour shrimps are also worthy trying. The shrimps are served on a sizzling hot plate, which keeps them crispy.
