Although social distancing measures in Hong Kong have eased in the past couple of weeks (with gatherings of up to eight people now allowed), some of us have gotten used to the creature comforts of dinner at home with the ample (and excellent) delivery and takeaway options at our disposal.

Ying Jee Club
Want to enjoy Michelin-starred Cantonese fine dining in the comfort of your own home? Ying Jee Club offers us the answer with their classic Cantonese dishes, available for self pick-up from their Connaught Road location. Star chef Siu Hin-chi, who has earned Michelin stars for T’ang Court, Duddell’s as well as Ying Jee Club, creates artistic plates featuring premium ingredients for the takeaway menu. For some exceptional grub, we recommend the stir-fried sliced lobster with shallot and red onion (HK$380 per person) or wok-fried Kagoshima A4 wagyu beef with scallion soy sauce (HK$1,180). The menu is extensive (perhaps predictably so for Chinese food) so if you can’t make up your mind, Ying Jee Club also offers set menus that feature their signature dishes — good for two to ten people.
