All 12 Prawn Dishes

Blue Prawn Dumplings (Ha Gau)

Ming Court

Mong Kok·$$$

HKD58.00

Translucent har gow filled with fresh blue prawns and bamboo shoots.

Tip: Compare these to street-level har gow — the prawn quality difference is immediately apparent.

Siu Mai (Pork and Prawn Dumplings)

One Dim Sum

Prince Edward·$

HKD25.00

Open-topped dumplings filled with minced pork, prawn, and mushroom.

Tip: These benefit from a light drizzle of house chili oil — ask the staff for the condiment bottle.

King Prawn Laksa

Chatterbox Café

Tsim Sha Tsui·$$

HKD182.00

Laksa broth with fresh king prawns, rice noodles, and vegetables. The prawns are large and sweet, added to the hot broth just before serving.

Tip: The prawns are premium. Peel them and eat them first while the flesh is still warm and firm. Save the shells to suck for flavor.

Wok-Fried Tiger Prawns in Light Yellow Curry

Bamboo Thai

Wong Chuk Hang·$$

Five large tiger prawns tossed in mild yellow curry sauce with potatoes, onions, and finished with an egg toile

Tip: The egg toile is crispy and flakes over the dish. Traditional Thai technique. The prawns are huge and sweet

Sizzling King Prawns with Fried Noodles

Tsui Wah Cha Chaan Teng

Central·$

HKD62.00

Large prawns stir-fried with garlic, ginger, and scallions served over crispy chow mein noodles

Tip: The sizzle plate will be extremely hot—don't touch the plate itself, only grab the handle

Artisanal Linguine with Carabinero Prawns

Tuber Umberto Bombana

Tsim Sha Tsui·$$$$

HKD820.00

Handmade linguine with jumbo Spanish red prawns and Mazara prawn sauce

Tip: The pasta is made fresh daily - the texture is perfectly al dente and absorbs the seafood flavors beautifully

Red Prawn Panna Cotta

Estro

Central·$$$

HKD980.00

Delicate savory course featuring sweet red prawns in silky panna cotta, topped with caviar.

Tip: Unusual course that works brilliantly. The sweetness of prawn against creamy panna cotta is a contrast worth experiencing.

Pomelo & Tiger Prawn Salad

Samsen

Central·$$

Fresh pomelo flesh mixed with grilled tiger prawns, shallots, cilantro, and spicy lime dressing

Tip: The pomelo is bitter-sweet and light, making this salad feel refreshing even though it's in Central's heat

King Prawn Wonton Noodles

Tsim Chai Kee Noodle

Central·$

HKD40.00

Two enormous wontons with a whole king prawn visible through the wrapper, suspended in a silky broth. The prawns are so large you have to eat them with your hands. The broth is made from pork and prawn bones overnight.

Tip: Request your noodles 'chewy' (called 'yum' in Cantonese) - it's a chewier texture than the default and stays firmer in the broth.

Amritsari Prawns Bhajia

Leela

Causeway Bay·$$$

HKD178.00

Jumbo prawns coated in a crispy chickpea flour batter spiced with amchur and Kashmiri chilis. Golden-fried and served immediately while still warm and crunchy.

Tip: These come to the table hot. The batter is thin and shatters when you bite through. Order these early and eat them first before the crust softens.

Har Gow (Prawn Dumplings)

One Dim Sum

Prince Edward·$

HKD27.00

Delicate translucent wrappers filled with fresh prawns and bamboo shoots.

Tip: Order the moment you sit — the kitchen makes them fresh in batches and early orders get them while still warm.

Prawn Tempura

Tempura Tenshin

Central·$$$

HKD95.00

Fresh large prawns fried in a light batter until crispy outside, tender inside.

Tip: Eat prawn tempura immediately when it arrives. Tempura deteriorates within 30 seconds of leaving the oil.
