🇭🇰 Sheung Wan 上環｜Dragon Academy 龍味館

If you are looking for a fancy ✨ Chinese restaurant for family gathering💕 or fine dining, I would highly recommend Dragon Academy! 👍 also their set menu starts at $179 HKD per person!! This time, we tired set menu D, which included:

🥕 Warming Stomach Soup 🍲 (Green Radish Soup) 宮廷酒爵暖胃湯(青紅蘿蔔湯) The soup serves as a perfect starter for the meal! 😋 Perfect way to warm up our stomach for the upcoming meal.

Dragon Academy Appetiser Platter: 魚躍龍味館一品頭拼 The appetiser consists of 3️⃣ tiny dishes: 🪼 Jelly fish tossed with wasabi 🪼青芥末海蜇頭 The jellyfish is very fresh and crunchy and I love the taste of wasabi mixed with it! 😆 Be mindful that it is a little spicy!

🍊 Orange winter melon 🍈 香橙白玉蝴蝶 This dish is very refreshing as winter melon is very crunchy and orange flavour stood out!

We ordered the $199 per head lunch set, featuring their signature BBQ pork as the main dish.

The tasty soup was presented in a traditional thing that was used to drink wine in the past. While being eye-catchy, we both think it’s not a good idea to drink hot soup from it, as it’s highly probable to get your lips/tongue/mouth burn. The soup was strong in green carrot flavour, while looking at its colour, it’s pale orange. It looked as if the chef used the western way to blend the ingredients after boiling.

Inside the dumpling, half of the content was shrimp while the other half was lobster, which gave you 2 textures in one bite.

The BBQ pork was very nice and juicy, and well marinated. The proportion for the fat and meat was really like 50-50, with a small amount of charcoal in the periphery. Got all the check marks for a char-siu.

The deep-fried carrots with carbonara contents were actually having bacon bits inside. That’s interesting.

The cold pink guava liquid dessert was refreshing. One of the staff brought the desserts too early when we were still working on the char-siu. They could have given the staff better training for more appropriate times to present the items. The space was actually very small, unlike what you expect when seeing it from outside, while the staff wasn’t that attentive to the tables. We had to ask the staff to add water to our tea pot. The same kitchen produced food for both Yum Cha and Dragon Noodles Academy, and it’s estimated that they run this restaurant the same way as they run Yum...

Not recommended if you are coming in a group. Seems most suitable for 2-4 people. I came here with 7 people and the menus were poorly designed.

Food quality was also average for the price and does not fit in the high end range. The service was also not great, one waiter was quite rude and was impatient with our inquiries. Overall enjoyed the charsiu the most

The 4.9 star review here seems...
