Sun Hon Kee

Top choice in New Territories


Well-executed Hakka cuisine, known for its use of preserved ingredients as well as stews and braises, is on offer at this busy two-floor restaurant. Dishes tend to be boldly flavoured, as they're meant to go with rice. Try the chicken cooked in yellow wine (黃酒煮雞), braised pork belly (客家炆豬肉) and pan-seared squid with shallots (紅蒽爆吊桶). Best with beer or rice with lard and sweetened soy sauce (豬油撈飯). Booking advised for weekend dinners.
