Hello guys, Iโm back with another hidden gem in HK๐ญ๐ฐ! (previous post here ๐)
Our friend who is a local Hong Kong-er, immediately booked this place when we told her we were going visit & Iโm so glad she took us here because itโs one of the coolest dining experience ever!
We first have to board a little boat at Causeway Bay and it sent us on a 30sec boat ride before we got transferred into another little fishing boat/sampan where we will have our meal๐ถ๐จ๐ด
The quality of their seafood is amazing ๐ฏ and portions are HUGE. Our set had boiled prawns, fried beancurd prawn rolls, veges, razor clams with glass noodles and garlic, fish, typhoon shelter crab (this was the highlight!!!), fried noodles & pipis๐
My fav was their signature Typhoon Shelter Crab โ I loooove the crazy amount of deep fried crispy garlic on it and the crab claw was actually so huge, sweet and juicy. I honestly never had a crab like this before! ๐ฆ

Itโs a very unique dining experience because location is in the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter. I believe each group gets their own boat no matter the group size and there are only like 9-10 boats, so super private dining experience here! Food is cooked and prepared in another boat which is their โcentral kitchenโ and then hand delivered by aunties that skillfully walk from boat to boat!
Seriously had THE BEST seafood with absolutely stunning views of the HK skyline. Watching it slowly turn from day to night while enjoy seafood is surreal! The neon-lit skyline at night really looked like those in the movies๐๐
Little history to this place and dish โ the typhoon shelter was built to protect boats from storms, typhoons and winds. Causeway Bay was a former fishing village and many fisherman and their families opened sampan restaurants / sold snacks within the typhoon shelter โ the typhoon shelter crab is one of those dishes!
IMO, this place defs deserves a Michelin Star! But then it would be hectic lol. I seriously wanted to gatekeep this place bc its sooo cool but good things must share right??
I highly recommend you give this place a go! Definitely book ahead as there are limited dining boats and only 2 dining slots I believe.

PS: my friend told me HK-ers usually reserve by whatsapp! Locations deets & contact in the last pic!
