Hong Kong's T'ang Court: A three-time Michelin star restaurant

By Li Jiejun

In November, Michelin announced the launch of its first guide to “fine Cantonese food.” This is the first time Michelin has produced a guide for a specific cuisine, as opposed to a city or region.

The Cantonese food guide covers 291 restaurants in 15 countries across Asia, Europe, and North America that serve the style of cooking from China's Guangdong Province. Only four Cantonese restaurants in the world have received the three Michelin stars – Lung King Heen and T'ang Court in Hong Kong, the Eight in Macau, and Le Palais in Taipei.

Located in Langham hotel in Hong Kong, T'ang Court reflects the classic timelessness of China's Tang Dynasty. The famous appetizers here feature chilled South African abalone with jellyfish, fried sablefish with honey, and Cantonese-style barbecue pork. People can have four different tastes before they start the main courses.

The signature dish is the stir-fried lobster with spring onions, red onions and shallots. This course looks ordinary, but smells very delicious. 

“The lobster is sautéed with different onions, and tastes tender and special. This is my favorite dish,” said Kwong Wai Keung, master chef of the restaurant.  Another must-have here is baked seafood rice with cream sauce in crab shell. It's very popular among foreign tourists.

The dining experience is impressive for many people who have been here. This restaurant has been awarded three Michelin Stars for the third straight year.

“We pursue the best tastes. We put our hearts into every dish we make. It's not easy to keep up with the high standards,” Kwong Wai Keung told the reporter. 

With the use of the freshest produce available, the restaurant serves a wide selection of authentic Cantonese culinary masterpieces and delicacies. If you want to have a taste, don't forget to make a reservation in advance.
