AUTHENTIC The chefs at the Hong Kong restaurant
When it comes to Chinese fare, there seems no dearth of restaurants in the Capital specialising in Chinese cuisine, but what makes all the difference is the quality and the price. Nearly fulfilling these specifications is the Hong Kong restaurant nestled in the Gulmohar Complex in Green Park.
Set up a year back, the restaurant is the perfect amalgam of a comfortable ambience and an enriching culinary experience.
A `welcome note' in Chinese at its entrance and the exquisite Chinese artefacts on the walls inside create a traditional Chinese ambience. Interestingly, the menu also bears Chinese names of delicacies like Khai for chicken and Har for prawn, etc.
The best part of the restaurant is the Chinese Chef Steve Lee. He belongs to the Lee family of chefs. "I created the menu myself, based it according to what customers like and cook the way my ancestors taught me," says Steve with pride.
The restaurant claims that from the soup to the main course everything is authentic Chinese.
The enticing,sweetly fragrant jasmine tea is served before, between and after the meal. It acts as an appetiser and digestive agent.
