Approaching French culinary traditions with a modern twist, the team seeks to adapt dishes like Grenouilles (parsley garlic frog legs) and Poulet Jaune (classic roasted chicken) for contemporary palates.

Fat J Char Siu
In our opinion, one of the best things about Hong Kong is that it’s not too hard to find a delicious plate of char siu wherever you are. Luckily for Wan Chai dwellers, Fat J Char Siu has now joined the ranks of those slinging succulent pork and crispy goose. Helmed by the team behind another neighbourhood favourite, Flower Drum, Fat J Char Siu offers steaming bowls of char siu rice topped with runny fried eggs that are both delicious and affordable. Chow down right in the cosy restaurant or opt for some take out whenever the mood strikes.
