About Favourite Kitchen

Tucked under the Golden Pebble Hotel, this dining room runs on old-school Cantonese pushcart energy. Dim sum carts weave past generous tables—steam billowing as bamboo baskets hit the cloth. Regulars flag down plump siu mai, crisp woo kok, and baked egg tarts before the carts roll on. Come evening, round tables pivot to live seafood banquets piled with ginger scallion lobster, steamed coral fish, and crisp duck, backed by attentive floor staff who keep tea cups refilled and finish dinners with sliced fruit.

  • Roving Dim Sum Trolleys: Pushcarts glide between spacious tables during lunch, dishing up hot bamboo steamers of siu mai, flaky taro puffs, and custard egg tarts on demand.
  • Seafood Banquets & Hospitality: Evenings feature live lobster, steamed coral fish, and crisp duck banquets served with complimentary tea, prawn crackers, and fresh fruit.
  • Sheltered Basement Parking: Direct elevator and internal stair access from the basement carpark keeps group arrivals dry and effortless in wet weather.

  • Lobster Banquet

    We came here for a celebration and had the lobster banquet. Check out my photos. The entrée was quite nice, especially the scallops with black beans and garlic. The lobster was cooked nicely.

Before you head over

Practical advice on parking, booking, and trolley timing for a seamless visit.

  • Use Underground Sheltered Parking

    Take advantage of the hotel's on-site underground carpark with internal venue access, allowing seamless and sheltered entry directly into the restaurant during wet weather.

  • Catch the Roving Trolleys Early

    Dim sum pushcarts roll through the aisles rapidly during peak lunch periods; select your hot staples early from the passing carts for maximum freshness before dishes sit.

  • Book Ahead for Peak Services

    Seating fills quickly during busy lunch and celebration services, and finding parking can get competitive, so reserve your table ahead of time to secure a spot.
