Hotel Lan Kwai Fong 蘭桂坊酒店
- Fortune Inn Restaurant (Shanghai) 富臨軒魚翅海鮮酒家
(上海)
Yesterday we had lunch with our friends Donna and Jenny. We went to a new hotel restaurant to visit another friend, Priscilla. Hotel Lan Kwai Fong (previously named the Kingsway Hotel) has recently reopened after a total renovation. The renovation took about 2 years and I have to say, they did a good job. They now describe themselves as a boutique hotel. What this means is that they are a small player in the hotel/casino game being played out in Macau.
The hotel is located about a 15 minute walk from the Macau Ferry Terminal and 10 minutes from Macau’s Fisherman’s Wharf. The best way to get to the hotel is by taxi which will cost about MOP25.00 from most downtown places.
On the 3rd floor of the hotel you will find a Japanese, Western, and Chinese style restaurants. Since Priscilla works in the Chinese restaurant, that’s where we went. The decor of the hotel and restaurants are very stylish. The restaurant itself is small - don’t plan on taking large groups of people here. This smallness has been leveraged to provide a somewhat more intimate setting than most Chinese style restaurants. The hours of operation are 11:00 am to 3:00 pm - during which time they serve from an ala-carte menu as well as local dim sam dishes. The restaurant is also open from 6:00 to 11:00 pm providing a full menu of Shanghai style dishes.
We decided to stay with the dim sam, enjoying a typical Tea lunch (yam chah - means to drink tea and is a wonderful custom in Southern China). While the dim sam menu is not that large, they cover the more popular items and bring some nice touches to these items. The prices for each dish range from MOP20.00 to 40.00. These prices are fairly standard now. Priscilla and the other staff provided first rate attention. The food was prepared quickly and delivered to the table steaming hot. The atmosphere was very comfortable. When you are looking for a relaxed, comfortable place for lunch, you can’t go wrong coming here.
