Founded in 1936 as a humble street side dai pai dong, Yung Kee has become an incomparable legacy among historic Hong Kong restaurants. This heritage brand grew into one of the city’s premier Cantonese restaurants with a loyal customer base spanning generations. Recently, this first Chinese restaurant to ever receive international acclaim (one star in the Michelin Guide) has undergone a major renovation at its iconic location in Central. 

We are pleased to organise a special evening with a guided tour, talk and dinner with project architect William Lim.  William will be joined by renowned HK designer Stanley Wong (anothermountainman).  Together, they will share insights about the design concepts and the stylistic changes that are synonymous with Yung Kee’s evolution in refining its culinary culture while preserving its heritage, combining tradition with modernity
