Memories Of Hong Kong

The restaurant is located in the commercial district in the center of Queenstown. The literal translation of the restaurant's English name is "Memories of Hong Kong", and the restaurant's sign says "Tung Lok Restaurant". There are countless restaurants in Queenstown, but there are only a handful of Chinese restaurants. Tung Lok Restaurant has a good reputation. After entering the small door and going up to the second floor, my eyes lit up: the spacious and bright store is furnished with Chinese-style tables, and the waiter who speaks Chinese handed over the Chinese menu, which gave me a sense of intimacy. The restaurant's specialty is seafood. I ordered "Lobster Two Ways". The ingredients are fresh, the cooking is exquisite, the taste is authentic, and it is filling and satisfying. Maybe because of the ingredients, the vegetables are a bit too raw and crispy, and not sticky and crispy enough, but the overall flaws are not enough to hide the merits.

The most outstanding thing is the seafood. After all, it is a Hong Kong seafood restaurant. The abalones there are very big. I have never seen such a big one in China. The lobster is good to eat, and the sashimi is also relatively fresh.

A pure Chinese meal, fried crab, shrimp, duck in sauce, salmon, cooked a pot of white rice, opened a bottle of red wine, comfortable. I didn't know that the Chinese food here is still very authentic and the environment and service are also good

It seems that there are only two Chinese restaurants in the center of Queenstown, Tongle and Huaweida, both of which mainly serve Cantonese cuisine. Tongle is larger in scale, with a low-key sign on the first floor. It was not until the second floor that we found a hall and several private rooms. The restaurant environment is not bad, but the light is dim. We had a few group meals here. The portions were certainly not large, but it was clear that they were of a certain standard. The fish was steamed well, and the vegetables were probably restricted by local conditions. There was nothing we could do. One night, a client invited us to a private room for dinner. It was really rich (I didn't feel embarrassed to take pictures). Cantonese, Sichuan, seafood, and sashimi were all delicious, proving that there are chefs. But the meal was not cheap, nearly 200 New Zealand dollars per person!

Queenstown is a small tourist town on New Zealand's South Island, but Chinese restaurants are rare. This one is located near the pedestrian street in the city center. It serves delicious Chinese cuisine using New Zealand ingredients.
