Lei Garden (CNT Tower) — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

🔊My FAVORITE RESTAURANT @leigarden in Hong Kong, Wanchai

Fresh (live) seafood with light steaming/broiling methods that bring out the sweetness of seafood meat .

🦀The Alaskan King Crab 花雕蒜蓉蒸阿拉斯加皇帝蟹 - US$250 😂 itself and was the size of my torso (I believe 9lbsl. Steamed with garlic and soy - every leg & string of meat was packed with flavor

🦞Canadian Geo duck poached with lobster bisque & topped with bean sprout & crispy fried dough 龍蝦湯過橋象拔蚌 - very fresh

🦆Peking Duck 片皮鴨- glazed & slow roasted for maximum crispy & juiciness

🍲double boiler steamed soup with conch, pork, chicken feet 雞腳燉響螺湯. High collagen and packed with flavor + nutrition
