Hong Kong’s most remote restaurant is Yik Man Restaurant, a simple eatery that serves up family-style Hakka cuisine on Crooked Island, a once-populated fishing village sitting deep in New Territories.
Not only is Yik Man Hong Kong’s most northern restaurant, but it’s also the most eastern, offering a solitudinous experience for dining in crowded Hong Kong.
Plates are served family style at Yik Man, with highlights including steamed cuttlefish balls, scalded prawns, Hakka salty-style poached chicken, steamed pomfret with black bean garlic sauce, and Hakka braised pork belly.
To get to Crooked Island, take the MTR to University Station and then get a ferry from Ma Liu Shui Public Pier, operating only on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, you can hop on a ferry from Tai Shui Hang or, instead, go to Sha Tau Kok Public Pier for daily ferries to Crooked Island.
