Resto Review - The American and Cheung Kee

The American Restaurant and Cheung Kee are two Wanchai stalwarts that serve Northern Chines food. Both on Lockhart Road, I have to say that Cheung Kee is far superior in almost every single way: on price, on the food, and in terms of service.

Cheung Kee is reached by ascending the staircase to the left of Club The Silver. Club The Silver, being one of the many strip clubs of Wanchai, where scantily-clad ladies invite every passing foreigner into. So I guess, The American Restaurant may, in the eyes of some, have it on Cheung Kee in terms of location.

Cheung Kee serves very reasonably priced Northern Chinese fare. For starters, there are the drunken chicken and mock goose. For mains, try the Peking duck, Kung Po prawns, Beef with Leeks on a Steel Plate, and the "Four Season Beans". For dessert, there are the Candied Apples and Bananas, Red Bean Pancakes, and Red Bean Poofs.

Price per person: $100-$200
