Wen Hing Restaurant: A gastronomic gem in Central, Hong Kong

#100WAYS TO TRAVEL #Special Food #Cantonese Cuisine #Chinese Restaurant #Food Wen Hing Restaurant, located in Central, Hong Kong, is internationally renowned for its excellent roast duck. This restaurant not only has a long history, but is also famous for its high-quality ingredients and exquisite cooking techniques. Wenxing's signature roast duck was once praised as "the best roast duck in the world" by the Financial Times, and this honor is by no means undeserved. In particular, its unique way of raising bones and serving it on the plate caters to the needs of many foreign diners. Wenxing Restaurant uses Cherry Valley ducks from Thai pastures, which are raised in a way that makes them less fat but still maintains tender meat. The duck skin is bright in color and full of aroma, making every bite a feast for the eyes. The sour ginger and slightly sour and sweet sauce that accompany it perfectly neutralize the greasiness and enhance the overall flavor. Exquisite appetizers Today’s lunch experience begins with a few tempting appetizers. The small cloud fungus with aged vinegar is the first choice with its moderately sweet and sour taste. The perfect combination of crystal clear cloud fungus and aged vinegar is appetizing. The golden tofu cubes are another surprise, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Served with fried garlic, the aroma is fragrant and unforgettable. Rich hericium mushroom and snail head stew Next on the table was a bowl of Hericium mushroom and snail head stewed soup. The soup was clear in color and rich in mushroom flavor, which complemented the freshness of the snail head. This bowl of soup is not only nourishing, but also impressive, as if the essence of nature has been concentrated in this bowl. Signature Grilled Thai Cherry Duck Wenxing Restaurant's signature dish - roasted Thai cherry duck, is undoubtedly the highlight of the day. The duck skin is roasted until golden and crispy, the meat is tender and juicy, and the ratio of fat to lean is just right. The special sauce is the finishing touch, rich but not greasy, adding an unparalleled layering to the entire dish. Iberico Pork Sweet and Sour Pork with Fresh Fruit Although the Iberico Pork Sweet and Sour Pork with Fresh Fruit looks ordinary, its taste is surprising. The juicy pork is wrapped in the crispy skin, and the sweet and sour sauce is well-balanced to whet your appetite. Not only that, the addition of fresh fruit brings a refreshing fruity aroma that is irresistible. Crispy shrimp balls with honey mustard The next crispy shrimp balls with honey mustard are also worth a try. The spiciness of the mustard didn't steal the show, but rather enhanced the umami flavor of the shrimp. The outer layer of fried powder is thin and even, crispy and delicious when you bite into it, and every bite is full of surprises. Steamed dragon fish with dried tangerine peel Steamed dragon fish with dried tangerine peel is a very unique dish. The meat of the dragon fish is firm, delicate and elastic. During the steaming process, the aroma of hometown tangerine peel is incorporated, making the whole dish more three-dimensional and layered. The perfect combination of side dishes and rice Finally, we tasted a few side dishes, including seafood and broccoli vermicelli in claypot, vegetable sprouts soaked in soup, and fried rice with sea and royal egg whites. The seafood and broccoli vermicelli in a clay pot are stir-fried until dry, and the flavor is rich yet layered. The vegetable seedlings soaked in the soup win with a light and umami taste. The fresh green vegetable sprouts fully absorb the essence of the soup. The fried rice with sea and royal egg whites has distinct grains and is fried just right, which makes people admire the chef's control over the heat. The perfect ending to dessert The last nostalgic Mala Cake was the perfect ending to this lunch. A small amount of walnut slices are mixed into the mala cake, which not only retains the traditional sweetness and soft taste, but also adds the fragrance of walnuts, making the taste rich and multi-layered. Overall, the dining experience at Wenxing Restaurant was impeccable. From appetizers to main courses to the final dessert, every dish showcases the chef's thought and skill. This lunch not only satisfied the taste buds, but was also a visual and olfactory feast. Whether you are a local diner or a tourist from all over the world, Wenxing Restaurant is worth a try.
