Resto Round-up: Southeast Asian Sensations

Thursday, November 28, 2013

ChomChom Hong Kong
CHÔMCHÔM

Viet Street Om Nom Nom
$350+ per person

No pho? No worry! The VFC (Vietnamese Fried Chicken), Cha Ca Hanoi, and Shaking Beef washed down with an ice cold Vietnamese beer will have you forgetting about pho in no time.
Chef Peter nails this joint with crowds spilling into the street on the weekends. This is no typical Vietnamese resto. It's a bia hơi street stall at heart.


58-60 Peel St, Central, Hong Kong
M-F 6pm on, Sa-Su 4pm on
2810 0850, No Reservations

Fatty Crab Hong Kong
FATTY CRAB

Fatty Malay-Inspired Foods
$450+ per person

Another New York transplant that's all about the vibe. Give the photogenic 'plateaus' and sliders a pass and go straight for the Watermelon Pickle & Crispy Pork, Fatty Duck, and namesake Fatty Crab– complete with thick bread to soak up the juices. Enjoy the adventurous cocktails at the bar while you wait for a table, and brace yourself for a pickleback (a shot of whiskey chased by a shot of pickle brine) or three!

11-13 Old Bailey St, Central, Hong Kong
Tu-W 6pm-12am, Th-Sa 6pm-1am
2521 2033, No Reservations
ChaChaWan Hong Kong
CHACHAWAN

Hot Hot HOT
$120+ per person lunch, $400+ per person dinner

Have your hanky ready– a nose and eye-watering night ahead, in the best of ways. Isaan Thai is no ordinary Thai. The spicy goodness of the Som Dtum Gai (grilled chicken thigh) and Larp Moo (minced pork) make you thank goodness for water and sticky rice. The dessert– Kanom Dtom, warm coconut rice dumplings served in salted coconut cream, is most definitely worth trying. It gets loud in here, so get ready for a sensory overload!

206 Hollywood Rd, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong
Tu-Su 12pm-3pm, 6:30pm - 12am
2549 0020, No Reservations
