Yup. I definitely take pride in the Cantonese language. I wish I knew mandarin. But being able to communicate with first generation cantonese people, helps me improve or practice my language more. I'm married to venezuelan and still haven't had the chance to practice Spanish yet🤦🏻‍♂️

@sasori144 6 лет назад

Why is everyone going crazy, they make good food, its exciting for asians to try new things made the cantonese way and frankly to me this actually looks super tasty. The staff are clean cut and dedicated, the food is well presented and looks smart and appetizing why is everyone complaining? They experiment and apply new ways to make chinese food tasty, its fresh and inviting!

He's a very humble man. I like him! I like it when he said that he doesn't put the pressure on his staff. And that he doesn't only call them "my staff" but also PARTNERS. I really like that. I think that's the thing that is missing in most of the workplace.

@juandenz2008 6 лет назад

So many salty comments ! Firstly the restaurant isn't forced to accept the stars, if they don't think they are valid or don't care they can refuse. Nobody knows who the reviewers are, they could well be people from HK, so lets not say they are from France and don't know how to rate Chinese food. I didn't see any evidence that the restaurant adjusted their cooking style to suit western tastebuds. This is high priced restaurant popular with local rich people as well as tourists. Also there is nothing wrong with using non-traditional ingredients to create new flavour combinations. Restaurants in every country do it ! They are still using the traditional cantonese cooking style. I didn't see them doing any of the molecular gastronomy type stuff.

I don't get why so many people are against Asians pushing the boundaries of their food. Western food is suppose to keep innovating and integrating ingredients from all over the world while Asian food is somehow supposed to remain as "traditional" as a badly dubbed Kung Fu movie...

@FoieGras 4 года назад

Chinese cuisine is actually SUPER progressive. I find sashimi and goose liver (not quite Foie Gras) on the menu when I go out to eat all the time! They just like to incorporate the ingredients INTO their dishes. Japanese is more tradition-bound, but that's changing as well thanks to the Japanese take on foreign restaurants

@CaptainGrimes1 3 года назад

I don't think anyone is against? If Asian food was 'traditional' there would be no chilli peppers or corn or potatoes in cuisine and that would make Chinese food difficult to cook and Indian food impossible. But I guess people want Asian food to keep true to the cooking techniques and philosophy of how they cook just so the whole world doesn't end up eating fusion cuisine and also because those classic recipes have been perfected over hundreds of years, would be a shame to lose them or to change them.

@terencewong4687 6 лет назад

I've been to Lung King Heen many times both for lunch and dinner. I really love the dim sums there especially buns with BBQ pork and pine nuts and steamed rice rolls. But dinner pales in comparison with lunch. The food is actually quite disappointing considering the price. Lunch is much better value for money. That's why nowadays I usually just go there for lunch. If you want to enjoy the full range of dim sums (not many choices in any event), you need to come during weekends and public holiday and book way in advance. Based on my experience, I need to book 2 to 3 months ahead for a table for 4.

Terence Wong How expensive is it to eat there for lunch and dinner? And do you get full or are the courses small?

@terencewong4687 6 лет назад

HeAdSpInNeR96 For lunch, if a group of 4 want to eat decently and leave not still feeling hungry (but not stuffed), expect to pay between USD 70 and 80 per head. This will include tea, some dim sums (including (a) the abalone and diced chicken pastry and (b) the steamed lobster and scallop dumpling both of which is charged by piece), some fried noodles/rice, some vegetables and a dessert. But, drinks other than tea isn't included. It's hard to say for dinner. It really depends on which kind of dishes you order if you go a la carte since some of the wagyu beef and seafood dishes can be really expensive. But as I say, I prefer lunch there.

Belated congratulations for the stars. Here in the USA, the dreaded americanized ubiquitous "chinese takeout" restaurant scene is slowly giving way to much more authentic and seasonal regional cuisines, in tandem with changing tastes and a broader interest in global cuisines in general. Given a choice between chicken chow mein (shudder), and say stirfried cumin lamb from Beijing style cuisine (yum), I will nearly always choose the latter, and that is just one of many regional styles in china. It gladdens me to see our cultural blinders slowly falling away ... it is not true everywhere, but it is definitely happening here on Long Island.

The thing with Michelin star is: They're unfair No offense to Japanese (as I eat sushi), but how does one shop gets michelin stars and the others are not? As far as I know (I've eaten countless high-end sushi across Japan), the shop that received the stars DOES NOT INNOVATE, they just do the same thing continuously for decades without changing a single thing (without innovating, breaking the boundaries, making new stuffs) Imagine if Eleven Madison Park keeps doing the same dishes for an entire year without innovation? The stars will be removed. *There are many Japanese restaurants that are continuously innovating, but it's a shame that they don't receive the spotlight.
