Hehe!!
Actually that's a little along the lines of what I'm afraid of when I've been searching for Chinese restaurant menus on the web. Most of them turn up to be Chinese restaurants in the US, and I've been told that several dishes which are supposedly Chinese such as "Sweet and sour pork" or "beef chop suey" aren't Chinese at all, but "invented" for foreigners asking for Chinese food
That's not what I'm looking for while in HK!
I want to try something I can't usually get back home, or at least not as authentic. Still, I'm not interested in "unusual" stuff such as intestines, dog (yes, I know it's illegal in HK and has been for a while) and so on.
By the way, I did in fact find a menu from what seems to be a HK restaurant:
China garden menu.
Is that a representative menu for any Chinese restaurant in HK? If so, any recommendations?
Dim Sum of course is a must, but we want to eat other things than that every day
