Kwun Kee Restaurant

Hong Kong


Hong Kong’s top brass make pilgrimages to this local place for its claypot rice (HK$80 to HK$105, available only at dinner) – a meal-in-one in which rice and toppings such as chicken are cooked in claypots over charcoal stoves until the grains are infused with the juices of the meat and a layer of crackle is formed at the bottom. Enter from Kwai Heung St.

There's a second branch on Des Voeux Rd West, but this is the original and has the best atmosphere, with diners spilling out into the street.
