For sure the atmosphere is nothing to write home about – in fact the gaudy décor and smell of the Begger’s Chicken are both positively off-putting. But the food really is just so good, and so consistent.
We always order a combination of the following dishes, and all are fantastic: Spring Onion Cakes; Peking Duck (definitely one of the best in town, if not The best); Crispy Shredded Beef with Chilli, served with Sesame Pockets; Sauteed Minced Chicken with Pine Nuts, served with Lettuce Leaves; String Beans with Minced Pork; Stir Fried Aubergine and Tofu with Chilli and Garlic sauce; Deep Fried Prawns in Chilli Sauce. Particular highlights for me, apart from the duck, are the beef, chicken and prawn dishes, which in my mind, are all exceptional and the best of their kind in Hong Kong. That is really saying something! If you haven’t been already, please go.
Meals cost around HKD$ 200 per head, without alcohol
