Lai Ching Heen holds two stars
Hong Kong’s Cantonese fine‑dining institution Lai Ching Heen retained two Michelin stars for the 17th consecutive year — a rare run of sustained excellence (hoteliersglobal.net). The recognition keeps Cantonese haute cuisine in the global Michelin conversation ahead of spring dining plans (hoteliersglobal.net).
Lai Ching Heen sits inside Regent Hong Kong in Tsim Sha Tsui and offers harbour-view private dining and a main dining room whose jade-inspired design is modelled on a jewellery box. (hongkong.regenthotels.com)) The kitchen is led by Executive Chef Lau Yiu Fai and Head Chef Cheng Man Sang, a pairing that Regent says has worked together at the restaurant for more than two decades. (hongkong.regenthotels.com)) To mark its latest honour the restaurant is offering a bespoke eight-course Celebration Menu created by the Lai Ching Heen team, with tea pairings proposed by Tea Sommelier Kelvin Mok.

(gastronomap.com)) The 2026 MICHELIN Guide Hong Kong & Macau was unveiled at the Grand Lisboa Palace Resort in Macau, where the edition named 278 restaurants across both territories.
