The Beijing Kitchen (Jianguo Road)

With over 40 years of experience, this owner-chef from Hong Kong samples what his team makes daily to keep improving the quality. He is justly proud of his crispy deep-fried squab – 30-day-old birds are basted three times to crisp the skin while keeping the meat juicy and silky. Other standouts include double-boiled soups, dim sum, as well as sago and pomelo in mango purée that strikes a perfect balance between sweet and tangy.
