There is no other restaurant in Greater Manchester quite like Hong Kong Choi. There just isn’t. It is unique.
Where else, for example, can you find a classic, perfectly-executed French lobster bisque, with a puff pastry lid, authentic Hong Kong borscht, melting beef brisket soup with rice noodles, a Hong Kong style bolognese, or baked pork chops with bubbling cheese on pineapple and tomato fried rice all on the same menu?
I’ll answer that. Nowhere. This is a style of fusion cuisine direct from the ancient port city, the route on the maritime Silk Road where trade from the east collided with trade from the west. Dishes like those above might sound mixed up. A fusion too far, at least for more pedestrian western tastes. But, in this light and airy room in Salford, they make absolute perfect sense.
