The Good Fortune

On Whetstone High Road, The Good Fortune channels the spirit of Chinatown with poise and polish. Renowned for freshly prepared dim sum and glistening roast duck, this local favourite marries premium ingredients with classical technique. The setting is warm and welcoming, the service attentive, and the tone unmistakably refined yet relaxed.

At its heart lies the easy elegance of Cantonese cookery: lacquered roast duck and crackling crisp pork belly, delicate fresh sea bass, and scallops and king prawns folded through with cashews. Vegetables shine under garlic, ginger or oyster sauce, while tofu runs from salt and chilli pepper crunch to "Ma Po" tofu with mushrooms. There is breadth too, with the "Sichuan" hot and sour soup, "Gong Bao" Sichuan chicken and spicy Sichuan lamb, plus a fragrant detour via Thai "Tom Yum" seafood soup and Malaysian curry lamb.

Noodles coil invitingly through chow mein and seafood udon, with comforting bowls of egg fried rice or Young Chow special fried rice alongside. Generous set menus make sharing effortless, whether for a family supper, a celebratory spread or an unhurried lunch.

Settle in, pass the chopsticks and let the kitchen lead the way. Make a date on Whetstone High Road and let good fortune live up to its name.
