Classic Cantonese cuisine ranging from common street bbq to unique recipes of yesteryears, Yung Kee is a stronghold and the standard of the culinary world in Hong Kong due to its remarkable tradition and highly effective team work. While Yung Kee has good and consistent offerings from its enormous dining hall at the Yung Kee building from 1st to 3rd floor, to sample the true fine dining experience, you have to make special reservation at its VIP room on the 4th floor or the Yung's club at the 8th floor. Classic Cantonese cuisine at its best is almost a lost art because of its labor intensive nature and the quick disappearance of a variety of great ingredients due to poor preservation. On top of that, the chef who knows how to make those great dishes are mostly retired. The typical young chefs neither knows how to cook them nor do they know how they are supposed to taste. Fortunately, Yung Kee's boss, Mr Kam inexhaustively collect old recipes and tried and true to recreate them in the most authentic way. So, for those fortunate few who have tried the special menus, we all owe it to Yung Kee's deep respect for the tradition and its perseverance to preserve this last piece of treasure. |
