Fodor's Review:

Health-conscious diners will appreciate this simple Shanghainese vegetarian food. The interior is light and airy, in keeping with the ultramodern One Peking Road tower feel. Still, it's the food that makes this place so popular. The menu revels in its vegetarianism, rather than trying to emulate meat; highlights include the Golden Treasure Cold Platter, which includes delicious sweet gluten with mushrooms; the Shanghai-style cold noodles with seven different sauces; and gentle bean curd dumplings. Good, too, are the sweet panfried cakes. Set-price meals are incredibly cheap, but beware the high prices on the à-la-carte menu, which can add up.

The delicious, light, Shanghai cooking at Kung Tak Lam is a very welcome respite from the heavy and often greasy, Cantonese food you find so much of in Hong Kong. This elegant vegetarian restaurant has a great view of the bay, so make reservations for a window table and be there before the 8:00 p.m. light show starts on the bay. Spectacular!
