Fook Lam Moon

Much like LA’s The Ivy, Fook Lam Moon is Hong Kong’s original celebrity hot spot where you are almost guaranteed to see a big name. Even during lunch hours (which we suggest for a visit as opposed to dinner, which can feel rushed), black cars and paparazzi are waiting on the street in front of the Wan Chai institution. Those who are not regulars may feel a bit out of place but eating at Food Lam Moon is practically a Hong Kong right of passage. Don’t expect stellar service, but waiters do get guests in and out with efficiency. The menu is extensive and focus is placed on regional classics, seafood and classic Cantonese. The baked stuffed crab shell is a highlight.
