You'll wind up on Lantau Island if you're visiting the Big Buddha at Ngong Ping or Disneyland Hong Kong. There are several restaurants within the Disneyland park itself, none of them distinguished, but good if you're traveling with children. The best restaurants are in the hotels. You can reach Lantau by ferry or by one of the many airport-bound buses. But the easiest way to reach the island is by MTR. The Tung Chung line connects from Central and transfers straight to the Disneyland Resort.
It may look like your run-of-the-mill Hong Kong eatery, but that's where the similarities end. Here, you can taste authentic specialties that include squid, steamed shrimp, and shrimp paste fried rice---no wonder since it's located in one of Hong Kong's last traditional fishing villages. Also, even if you don't read Chinese, get the Chinese menu and use a translator. Like many places in Tai Po, there are two different menus with incongruous pricing.
