Generally the menu was straight forward with no real surprises, but that’s what classic Chinese cooking is about. His cooking style was rather simple and subtle without being under seasoned and there was a consistency with every course that came with rehearsed and experienced recipes.

The menu and flavours were approachable and the quality of ingredients were impressive and treated well. It used traditional techniques and familiar flavours with modern and clean presentation. Some of the dishes were exceptional and unlike other versions of it I’ve had globally.

Lung King Heen means “view of the dragon” and it was the first Chinese restaurant to ever receive 3 Michelin Stars. The Executive Chef, Chan Yan Tak, is also the only Chinese chef to be awarded three stars making this a local and tourist dining destination.

In the context of downtown Vancouver I would say this is a solid place for authentic and traditional Chinese or Shanghainese food. However outside of downtown Vancouver I would say it does get better. This would be standard for many good places specializing in the same cuisine.

My Follow Me Foodie Favourites & Best of 2012! I prefer calling it my “favourites” or most “memorable” experiences, but I’ll include “the best” just because I’m weak and want to align with every other “best of 2012″ list out there. This is a recap of my delicious 2012.
The line up here was full of locals and it is a 1 Michelin Star Restaurant, but on the affordable side of the Michelin Guide. One Dim Sum is a favourite because it offers great value without sacrificing on quality, service or atmosphere. The home made rice noodle rolls are a must try!
Lin Heung Tea House is famous for traditional Chinese dim sum and the experience is worth recommending. I warn you, it’s not for everyone, but there’s nothing else really like it in Hong Kong. It was the most intense dim sum I’ve ever experienced. It was a real life version of The Hunger Games.
The city is addicting and I think of it as an Asian New York, but much more condensed. It’s a lively city that’s full of energy and the harder you work the harder you play. It’s fast paced, international and there’s always something to do and see… and in my case eat!
