Moon Bay turns the vast Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre into an unlikely fine-dining oasis with its roomy, opulent interior – a rare luxury amid the city’s often cramped-for-space dining scene – and a sprawling menu of upscale traditional Cantonese dishes like congee, spiced jellyfish, juicy char siu, drunken abalone and baked crab shell. Stand-outs include jet-fresh seafood, stir-fried diced M8 Wagyu beef with organic black garlic, wok-fried fresh crabmeat with crab roe and Chinese kale, crispy osmanthus eel and longevity lotus buns, with a full page of shark’s fin options underscoring its old-school commitment (for better or for worse).
