Abalone Hong Kong

Hong Kong certainly has its ups and downs, but a constant through all of its bygone eras is its deep-rooted love of fine Cantonese food. Smart and conventional, Forum Restaurant reputedly serves up the best abalone dishes and sharks fin soup around, and it is no wonder that Lau Chi-sun, renowned wine critic and publisher of Wine Now magazine, chooses it as his favourite Chinese restaurant in town."Whenever I am out of town, one of the dishes that I miss not being able to eat so often is good Hong Kong abalone," Lau remarks. "Each time I come here I give a thumbs-up for its braised 'Ah Yat' abalone. They specialise in abalone and they just do it so well here."Chinese fine dining might seldom reach its pinnacle but Lau believes that a restaurant like Forum, with supreme service, delicious food, carefully chosen tableware and a special ambience, helps us to appreciate what the finer things in life truly mean. Their hard work explains why this restaurant is frequented by the rich and famous of Hong Kong, many of whom are regulars, and it is not traditionally an expatriate or tourist attraction.
