Gold Mine
Gold Mine is a Cantonese banquet-style spot of the most old-school variety, and the comforting combination of low ceilings, gold-detailed chairs, red carpet, and tender char siu pork of the same colour is sure to put you in a proverbial good place. The roasted meats that hang in the window flaunting themselves are a must-order at the Queensway spot. Tender duck with crisp skin, beautifully layered crispy pork belly, and sweet, thickly sliced char siu—all of them are excellent. At lunchtime, towers of steaming dim sum baskets levitate around the room and, combined with the low-level hum of families digging into their lunch, it makes for a guaranteed good meal en masse or on your own.
