There's no noisy rabble blocking the doorway waiting for a table, the decor is modern, the seats comfortable and the parking free. You're at the Golden Century Fox Studios, offspring of one of Chinatown's most famous restaurants.

To answer the big question, yes, the food is almost as good as the original, with better service thanks to a more relaxed pace. This means pure Cantonese cooking featuring a huge choice of live seafood cooked in many ways - although steamed with ginger and shallots is the purest and the best. Try the steamed oysters, scallops or prawns for starters and go on to morwong, mud crab or XO spiced pipis. The menu is encyclopaedic with a page of vegetarian dishes, barbecue meats, hotpots, regional specialties, hard to find gems like duck steamed with mushrooms and simple dishes such as salt and pepper deep fried beancurd, squid or white bait. There's a choice of Chinese grain wines and warmed Shoa Hsing is especially good.
