As I have written about previously, I was very fortunate to get to go to China with my family. One of the cities we got to visit was Hong Kong. It is such a vibrant city that has so much going on. Once you get over the fact that they drive of the other side of the road, it feels a lot like New York City.
There is a famous restaurant that we had to try while we were there called Jumbos. Jumbos is a floating restaurant that has been around since 1976. It looks like a Chinese Imperial Palace that you see in history books.
In order to get to the restaurant you actually have to take a ferry.
Jumbos is known for fresh seafood. You can actually walk their fish tanks and pick out the fish you would like them to cook for you. Since I do not like to see my food alive before I eat it, I decided to let the chef pick out my fish.
We ordered a bunch of dishes for the table to share. They just came out when they were ready which was fun. I actually found myself trying to keep track of everything that we ordered.
We had shrimp chow main. The shrimp was in a great sauce over crunchy noodles. The greens on the side were bok-choy.
We ordered a seabass with a great garlic sauce. The whole fish comes out – head attached. This was a little freaky to me, but I went with it for the experience.
The scallops were fresh and huge. They melted in my mouth as soon as I took a bite.
We ordered a fried rice for the table that was perfect. We also tried fried tofu that was simple but tasted wonderful with all the different sauces from the other dishes on the table.
It was a really fun dinner and definitely something I would recommend to anyone visiting Hong Kong. You can visit the English version of their website at: www.jumbokingdom.com/eng/main.php
Enjoy!
