From the iconic wall of waving golden lucky cats to the sizzling sound of flame-fired woks heard down Elgin Street, Ho Lee Fook became a larger-than-life fixture on the restaurant scene and one of the most coveted tables in town. On Sunday 4th September, Ho Lee Fook invites hungry diners to join the Good Fortune Club, a gourmet banquet of unlimited dim sum paired with a curated selection of Champagnes. The elevated Sunday experience promises an opulent afternoon spurred by Head Chef ArChan Chan and newly joined Dim Sum Chef, Winson Yip’s homage to the city’s most beloved dining tradition.
