Known for its popular Lobster Porridge and myriad of classic Chinese dishes, Wan He Lou is closing down on 22 Dec 2023 after 10 years of operations.

It will be offering a 50% off second lobster promotion from now until the last day operations.

Wan He Lou is the kind of restaurant that will gain instant approval from your grandmother for its cosy ambience, comforting Chinese food that will never go wrong and attentive service from the friendly wait staff.

It may be far from fancy, but the intimate, homey vibes play a huge part in getting loyal patrons to visit them time and time again.

The standout dish at Wan He Lou is indisputably their Lobster Porridge, a creation that stands as the crowning achievement of the restaurant’s celebrated founder and chef, Lau Siaw Dee. This Teochew-style Lobster Porridge is a culinary triumph, owing its remarkable taste to the savory stock enriched with luxurious lobster roe. The dish is perfected with the addition of a freshly prepared lobster, elevating its flavor profile.

Fans of Wan He Lou’s famous lobster porridge must pay them a visit from now until 22 Dec 2023.

Established in 2016, Captain K—known for its multi-tiered Korean Seafood Tower and premium Hot Pot—is closing in April 2022.

The famed nine-tier Captain K Seafood Tower took the food scene by storm when it was first introduced in Singapore.

Comprising nine staggering steamer trays stacked atop each other, each level is steamed to absolute perfection all thanks to a treasure trove of natural seafood juices and briny tang, in combination with the simmering hearty broth at the base.

From mussels, scallops, clams, crawfish, oysters, prawns, squid and Chilean King Crab, the key to what sets this seafood eatery apart lies in Captain K getting the freshest seafood from its suppliers at Senoko Fishery Port daily.

Captain K’s Hot Pot comes with many steamboat ingredients and they include dumplings, homemade balls, signature pastes and of course the premium seafood list.

If you are a fan of Captain K’s Korean Seafood Tower or Hot Pot, do pay them a visit at 112 Middle Road or order food delivery from their website before they close for good in April.

Proudly standing as one of Hong Kong’s oldest and most popular tea houses and perhaps one of the only few places left that still serve dim sum the traditional way—chaos, screaming old ladies and all—Lin Heung Tea House was speculated to close for good in February 2019 but has since, managed to renew its lease for another 3 years, operating under a new name, Lin Heung Tea Room, on March 1—so hoorah for that!

Hailed as one of the top attractions in Hong Kong and a tourist hot spot for those who crave the ultimate and most authentic dim sum experience, the age-old establishment is one spot to visit if you want to experience traditional Cantonese dim sum.

As authentic as a proper Cantonese yum cha experience can get, dining at Lin Heung Tea House over in Central has always been a must for us with every visit to Hong Kong. The only main difference now is that dinner services will no longer be available, so we suppose our only option is to get ourselves out of bed earlier from now on.

Granted that dining there is always one heck of an intimidating and at times frustrating experience, that’s part of the whole experience. No one is going to have their hand held here. You need to go with the flow and be as ravenous as a local.

We love everything about the place, from the ambience, the high levels of stress you experience just to have your order placed and of course, the wonderful dim sum dishes.

What’re you waiting for? Get those tickets booked and have yourselves a solid dim sum meal at Lin Hueng Tea House.
