December 16, 2013 | 10,814 viewsThe legendary roast pigeon of Tai Ping Koon; a good 153 years in the making. It’s that old.
If you want to read a slice of history, which your grandfather has probably hinted you about back in the heydays; read up about Tai Ping Koon’s (TPK) story HERE. Started in 1860 in Guangzhou, the Chui family excelled in the first Western-inspired restaurant in Tai Ping Sha. Until this very day, Tai Ping Koon is still being run by the same Chui generations. A case of history well-preserved indeed.
Although it did not cross my mind to try roast pigeon in Hong Kong the first two times, this time around I was taken in by the thought of crispy skin roasted pigeon and a somewhat peculiar dish named Swiss chicken wings which has no origins whatsoever from Switzerland. Really.
