More information on Golden Dragon

For a second, you might think you've been transported to one of Hong Kong's finest Chinese restaurants -- until you notice you can see Waikiki Beach from the outdoor terrace. This is where local residents go if they want to celebrate a special occasion or just enjoy the finest Chinese cooking in Hawaii. Chef Steve Chiang has an extraordinary light touch, turning well-known Chinese cuisine into a rare exotic treat. Several items from the Golden Dragon's original chef, Dai Hoy Chiang, remain on the menu (like the lobster tail stir-fry with curry sauce and served with haupia -- a coconut pudding). Chiang's own creations include beggar's chicken (wrapped in lotus leaves, covered with clay, baked and then broken open at your table), which you must order 24 hours in advance. For a real treat, get the 9-course "lotus dinner," which showcases the restaurant's finest dishes. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
