Chinese New Year is the longest and most important festivity in the Chinese lunar calendar. Regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration vary but most of them share the common theme of bringing luck to the family in the coming year, and wishing loved ones a prosperous year ahead. While many people today may not believe in the do's an don'ts of Chinese New year, these traditions and customs are still practiced by a lot of families. For example, the entire house should be cleaned before New Year's day. Sweeping or dusting must not be done on New Year's Day for fear that good fortune would be swept away!

Good Dim Sum
Butterball | Oct 27 2011
these were pretty good... succulent and tasty.Baked sweetcorn buns with diced chicken and garlic . I have no idea why this has been marked as one of the chef's recommendations.

Elegant and beautiful with an amazing harbor view. This restaurant serves traditional Cantonese cuisine with true decadence. A little fancy for everyday dining but good for special occasions. Excellent, faultless service.

Quality restaurant
DPDdweller | Sep 5 2011
Although Yan Toh Heen is not as famous as Lung King Heen, in my opinion it is far better. Only premium quality ingredients were used and while there were a couple misses here

great dim sum

Roasted baby pigeon (香燒軟骨鴿) - these were pretty good... succulent and tasty.
Baked sweetcorn buns with diced chicken and garlic (蒜茸美國雞粒焗玉米餐包) - I have no idea why this has been marked as one of the chef's recommendations. We all thought this was the one item which failed in terms of taste. OK, garlic is always welcome, but the bun was actually like a crappy wheat dinner roll and these just don't taste good steamed.
Turnip and freshwater eel in puff pastry (燒鱔蘿蔔絲酥盒) - the puff pastry was very fragrant and oily, but as a result it was too soft and broke apart easily when I lifted it with my chopsticks. The taste was very interesting, although I was surprised that carrots were used in addition to turnip.
Steamed carrot, pinenuts and chive dumplings (甘筍崧子韮菜餃) - interesting and creative combination of filling, including some mushrooms. The skin is made with carrot juice, which gives it that bright orange color.
Steamed crabmeat, green vegetables and black truffles dumplings (黑松露蟹肉菜苗餃) - another yummy dumpling, this time with the skin made with spinach purée.
Steamed rice flour cannelloni with shredded roasted duck conpoy and chives (韮皇瑤柱火鴨絲腸粉) - so-so, although in the end I finally thought that the shredded duck as somewhat tasty.
Stir-fried broccoli with XO sauce (XO醬炒西蘭花) - kinda interesting. I've always loved the XO sauce here so no complaints here...
Mini egg tarts (珍珠雞蛋撻) - I couldn't believe how badly the restaurant failed here... the egg custard filling was just bland and tasteless... One of the worst egg tarts I've had in a long, long time.
Chilled mango cream with sago and pomelo (楊枝甘露) - very tasty and refreshing.
I'm glad I came back for dim sum today - which incidentally was the first time I've had dim sum here. I found the general quality to be very high, befitting a Michelin-starred hotel restaurant. The items were also pretty creative, and actually worked most of the time. I should cross the harbor and come back more often...

Not just for tourists
FayBoy | Aug 31 2010
It is true that this Chinese restaurant offers a great view of Hong Kong Island, but us locals should not miss it either! Superb food, especially the dim sum. Service is of course (Regent) Inter-Con standard.

A gem of a restaurant
Foodfu | Aug 6 2010
This is the place to go to impress visitors what eating top class Cantonese food in HK is all about. The view (the HK harbour), the ambience (jade settings), the food...
A few 'must try' items:
1) Great dim sum for lunch
2) Stuffed conch shell
3) Steamed crab claws in mini steamer
4) Filleted whole garoupa steamed in lotus leaf (a specialty I always order cause do not like to mess with bones)
5) Deboned roasted chicken
Together with a nice wine selection (good burgundies), you'll have a memorable experience.- How much did you spend?

My place to take tourists
Peech | Apr 26 2009
For years this has been THE place for me to take friends from out of town for a Cantonese meal. The awesome view of the harbor, plus the excellent decor and first class cuisine is a great combination. Wonderful steamed fish.
