[edit] History
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.
[edit] Signature dishes
The restaurant's signature dishes are braised Japanese dried aged abalone (or Bao yu) with goose web, shark fin, fried crispy chicken, roast suckling pig, baked stuffed crab meat and onion in shell and a variety of double-boiled soups.
[edit] Branches
Fook Lam Moon's other branches can be found in Kowloon, there are four in Japan (Osaka, Nagoya, Ginza and Marunouchi), and three in China (Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing).
[edit] Awards
Fook Lam Moon's Wanchai restaurant was awarded two stars by the 2010 Michelin Guide, following the one star rating in the guide's inaugural 2009 edition for Hong Kong and Macau. It was also named as Asia's Top 20 Restaurants two years in a row in 2009 and 2010 by the Miele Guide.
