Canton Room: Top-notch comfort food and wonderful views at famed Wan Chai eatery

For a taste of 80s Hong Kong, Canton Room in Gloucester Luk Kwok Hotel is the place to visit. Comfort food is the name of the game here, and dishes such as barbecued pork, XO sauce fried turnip cake and dried meat with fried glutinous rice are popular. The dim sum is top notch and no-nonsense, with the kitchen prioritising quality.

One seasonal item to look out for is the barbecued pork rice with egg, dubbed “sorrowful rice” after the legendary dish seen in Stephen Chow’s famous movie The God of Cookery (1996).

This is a busy restaurant and reservations are recommended, especially during weekends and public holidays.
