Chao Ting, part of the Maxim’s Group, offers a fresh take on traditional Chaozhou cuisine, with a notable location in Tseung Kwan O, Park Central. The dinner menu showcases an array of classic Chaozhou dishes.
During my visit, I was particularly impressed by the Chaozhou marinated goose served with jellyfish, which had a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The oyster pancakes were another standout—crisp on the outside and rich inside. The fried rice boasted delightful wok hei, enhancing its aromatic profile.
Unexpectedly, the desserts also stole the show. The "Fan Sha Yu" (反沙芋), a Chaozhou specialty, features taro cut into strips, deep-fried, and quickly stir-fried with sugar, creating a sweet and satisfying finish to the meal.

Overall, Chao Ting offers a modern twist on Chaozhou cuisine, making it a must-visit for locals and visitors alike. The quality of the dishes and outstanding service ensure a...

She refused to do it and kept saying nobody was complaining this morning. We said you could really smell it. But again she said no. Then she told the other waitress, we said we didn't want it because we were afraid that they would add stuff in our order, so we said no and we would like to have our bill. The same waitress said to the manager we were too full to finish that so we sent the porridge back. I think it was a very...
