Reply #1 Rico's post
All the bros here have mentioned the best places to have a T-bone in Hong Kong but Rico, if you should go over to Macau during your trip (sorry if this is kinda off topic), go to The Kitchen at the Grand Lisboa. I'm a steak man myself and the steaks at The Kitchen are the best steaks I've ever had in Asia. They have US, Australian Wagyu beef and different grades of Kagoshima, even Grade X Kagoshima beef which is higher grade than anything you can get in HK. The Kagoshima T-bone may cost HK$2,500 a piece but this is cheap as cost for that piece of meat itself is about HK$2,000 or more. They hardly make any profit on this because the food is subsidized by the gaming operations. In HK, if a steak like this is served, the restaurant would charge at least $5,000+ and that's why they don't offer this to customers in HK. It would never sell. What I would suggest is the Steak Florentine which is one giant piece of grilled T-bone for two and they're not stingy on the beef. They actually serve you the Australian Wagyu with a high marble rating of 9+ (Australian Grade 9 includes meat that would grade up to 12 in Japan). This is the best deal in the house at HK$1,200 for two people.
The wine list is the best in the world at the Lisboa with a cellar valued at nearly HK$4 billion. The list consists of 320 pages and the DRC wines alone of different vintages take up 6 pages! They even have Romaee Conti dating back to the late 1800s. Great selection of Champagne, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rhone, Spanish, California, Australian and everything else imaginable and it's all relatively cheap. Been to over a dozen 3-star Michelin restaurants in Europe and nothing comes close to this wine list. What's more amazing is that whatever obscure bottle you order from the list, they can get it to you in 5 minutes. This is a very well organized cellar despite its size. If you're a wine connoisseur, it's worth going just to peruse this list.
Enjoy
