3.5 out of 5
I’d lunch with 2 friends in Fook Lam Moon this afternoon. Before then, I hadn’t been there for more than 2 years.
Since we weren’t hungry, we only ordered 9 dim sums to share. They’re on the whole decent while some were better than the others. Shrimp dumplings, crispy shrimp rice rolls, taro puffs and mini egg tarts were delicious. But, baked barbecued pork buns were disappointing. They weren’t even lukewarm and there’s very little barbecued pork inside the buns.
The service was attentive and courteous. There’s ample space between tables. The price was more than reasonable.
Special Occasions
We are here 3 times a year. Parent's Bday and CNY. Sort of a tradition. It's about the overall experience. Pretty good food, good decor, great service and yes, the celebrities from my parent's generation. Get dressed up and enjoy the tradition. They really know how to pamper guests. It is expensive and not the best dim sum in HK but again, it is the overall experience.

Tonight dinner here alone as happened I was in Wanchai area nearby. This place is famous for tycoons and rich people.
Could say that I am a new customer to this restaurant (last time I was here is over 15 years ago). Due to covid pandemic, there're only three tables of customers this night, 90% tables were empty.
Service is very poor, no one served me any pot of tea or water as like other tables (but they tried to charge me HK$20 for tea money). No waitress or waiter was interested in ascertaining what I needed, if the food was good etc. Yet, I saw the they were very keen and friendly in chatting with other customers who I believe are return guests.
For the food, I ordered fried rice with abalone sauce and chicken cubes, barley water, and red bean sweet soup as dessert. The fried rice is so so and chicken cubes were not tender, but luckily came hot. The red bean soup is poor as it tastes sour.
The most scary incident I met was that when I was eating, suddenly about 5 to 6 tall men with face masks and hats rushed into the restaurant, with a batch of sheets spread all over the floor. I saw a face printed on those sheets and I guess someone, who is used to dine here, is indebted to another who engaged such guys to come here to make a fuss. Anyway I was scared in watching this 😳After the gang left, the waitress offered apology to the guests in the next tables, but of course not me who was a new customer and had a small bill.
Overall no single reason to come here again. Totally unpleasant place 😡
A celebrity is sitting next to us...
This famous Michelin 1-star Cantonese restaurant is located in Wanchai. Established in 1948, it has the nickname 'Canteen for the Rich and Famous'. This branch in Wanchai is the flagship, with four levels in total. Coming on the Valentine's Day, we were greeted warmly by the staff when approaching the restaurant, and after checking our reservation, courteously took us to the private elevator to the third floor main dining hall.
The setting is decent, but not extravagant, with ample space between tables, allowing private conversations. Even with the coronavirus going on most of the tables are occupied, showing the popularity of the place. We also saw a famous old-time singer at another table.
The first dish that came was a signature here, Baked Stuffed Crab Shell with Onions and Fresh Crab Meat ($200 each). The beautiful golden brown crust on the outside is nicely done, and personally I like to add a few drops of Worchestershire sauce on top which makes it even more appealing with the acidity. The stuffing is very delicious, with abundant of fresh crab meat, delicate and sweet. The onion further added the flavors while not dominating the taste. A really good dish and one of the best stuffed crab shell I have tasted in town.
The next dish originally was frog's leg but unfortunately the restaurant did not have that on the night, so we changed to Honey Roasted Fresh Eel ($260) instead. The eel is fat and meaty, with the chef grilling it to perfection, having a crunchy skin while the meat is moist. The honey sauce added the sweetness and fragrance to the eel, which is seasoned well. Again a very good dish and did not disappoint us even though we could not have the frog's legs we want.
Upon ordering we were told the big garoupa was not available on the night for the wok-fried fillet we would like, so they recommended us to try the Stir-Fried Fresh Lobster with Black Beans and Chili ($1200). The staff also suggested us to have about 4 tael of lobster for the two of us. Honestly the presentation might not be the best but the taste was amazing. The lobster was was cooked just right, not a bit of overcooked or rawness, maintaining the best texture and sweetness of the ingredients. The black beans and chili added the savory and slight spiciness to enhance the overall complexity, and it was really good. The portion also was appropriate. If you like lobster but don't want to bother with the shell I strongly suggest trying this dish.
Next was a dish recommended to us: Crystal Noodles in Soup Flavored with Dried Flounder and Choi Sum ($230). Seems simple when it was served, but I like this dish very much. The choi sum was very young and tender, and fully absorbed the flavors from the supreme broth, very delicious and tasty indeed. The glass noodles on top are sprinkled with some dried flounder powder, and that alone was another wonder, fantastic in taste as well. The broth was so good I had the urge to drink it. Highly recommended.
The last dish we ordered was Stewed Chicken with Huadiao Wine ($360). The staff alerted us beforehand that it would take a 40-50 minutes before serving, and so we waited patiently, with the other dishes already finished. But it was worth the wait. Served in a clay pot, it was heated again beside the table. When first opened, the intense fragrance of the huadiao wine came to the nostrils. The chicken was tender and the unique flavors from the huadiao had penetrated to the meat. The sauce was really good and I could finish a bowl of rice just with the sauce alone.
For dessert we had the Steamed Leaf Wrapped Glutinous Dumpling with Red Bean Paste ($55). A signature dessert for the restaurant, the dumpling was chewy with the red bean paste appropriate in sweetness. A traditional dessert but the restaurant managed to add elegance to it in my opinion.
Last I had the Sweetened Almond Soup with Egg White ($60) while my wife opted for the Sweetened Red Bean Soup ($55). The dessert was good, with concentrated almond flavors but in my opinion a bit too sweet.
The service throughout the meal was excellent, and despite we are not frequent customers we were not 'left out', but you could see how the staff interacted with the others who are definitely familiar patrons.
The bill on the night was $3003, a bit expensive but that is mainly from the lobster. The other dishes I would say is fair for a high-end restaurant. Overall a good place to enjoy nice Cantonese cuisine.
Not worth the price
Fook Lam Moon is a culinary landmark in Hong Kong. This original place in Wan Chai is frequented by tycoons and celebrities. The decor is traditional and service is good. Food varies. The suckling pig is the gem. The skin is crispy and the meat is tender. Seasoning is good and not too salty. Siu mai is also delicious. Shrimp dumpling is a bit disappointing. Spring roll is mediocre. Fried chicken is fair. Price is one of the highest in the city. Overall it is a good experience for huge spenders.

This is a very well established restaurant that served well made Cantonese dishes. The restaurant used individual room for each guest. The menu may require pre-order or reserve before actual dinner time. A very well trained wait staff was there to serve each dishes and all food were prepared to order.
Be the first to ReplyGood Dim Sum, Not the traditional experience
If you are looking for dim sum in the Wan Chai district, Fook Lam Moon is a good choice. The waiter helped us choose from a wide variety of dim sum choices. I was disappointed not to have roaming carts that you see in a traditional dim sum restaurant; however, the food was tasty and well portioned. They seated us promptly and the service was very good!

We had a very good lunch with mostly dim sum which were absolutely delicious. The service was enormously friendly.
Be the first to ReplyPricey and menu not for us
Everyone was charming. We were greeted like long lost friends.
The menu just didn’t quite work for our European tastes. Yes, you should experiment but it wasn’t quite right.
£250 for two with a cheapish bottle of French white wine.
For tourists we felt the Grand Hyatt Chinese restaurant seemed a far better meal
We even worked out when to use black and white chopsticks!
