Lai Ching Heen, Cantonese restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong.
Lai Ching Heen is a Cantonese restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui featuring harbour views across the water. Jade design elements define the dining room and table settings throughout.
Opened in 1984, the restaurant reclaimed its original name when its host hotel changed from InterContinental back to The Regent Hong Kong. This name reinstatement reflected a significant shift in the venue's identity.
The name references a traditional Chinese stone, reflected throughout the dining space. Dishes follow classical Cantonese recipes passed down through generations.
The location offers direct hotel access, making arrival straightforward. The dining room features reserved seating with harbour views, and advance booking is recommended for visits.
The kitchen is known for pork knuckle prepared with 25-year aged fruit vinegar, an ingredient rarely used in Cantonese cooking. This unusual technique has earned special recognition from critics.
