History [edit]
The restaurant traces its roots to a catering service started in 1948 by Chui Fook, who arrived from Guangdong and started training as a chef when he was a teenager.
The restaurant was known as Fook Kee before changing the name to Fook Lam Moon in 1953. Hall dining was first introduced in the 1970s at the Lockhart Road premises and in 1989 the restaurant was expanded and relocated to Johnston Road at Wanchai.
Mr. Chui Fook's son Chui Wai Kwan became his father's apprentice at the age of 14 in 1962. Since then Chui Wai Kwan has maintained his late father's principles of fine Cantonese cuisine by becoming the head chef, while his elder brother, Chui Pui Kun (Chairman),[3] took care of the business' commercial and accounting side.
Signature dishes [edit]
The restaurant's signature dishes are braised Japanese dried aged abalone (or Bao yu) with goose web, fried crispy chicken, roast suckling pig, baked stuffed crab meat and onion in shell and a variety of double-boiled soups.
Branches [edit]
Fook Lam Moon operates nine branches in Asia. These include the original restaurant Wanchai, in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, four in Japan (Osaka, Nagoya, Ginza and Marunouchi), and three in China (Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing).
Recognitions [edit]
The Wanchai and Tsim Sha Tsui branches of the restaurant were awarded two and one stars, respectively by the 2010 Michelin Guide,[4] following the one star rating in the guide's inaugural 2009 Hong Kong and Macau edition.[5]
It was also listed at no. 18 and 19 on Asia's Top 20 Restaurants of the Miele Guide in the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 editions, respectively.[6][7]
