Being diagnosed with coeliac disease makes finding food in Hong Kong quite difficult. Finding gluten-free options in the bustling streets, as traditional dishes often contain wheat-based ingredients. However, at Astor in the Eaton Hotel, they serve a breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffet that tries to accommodate allergies with labels and various food restrictions (more labelling would be even better). My family and I decided to have breakfast there, and I was amazed by the variety. There was everything from a fresh-juice stall to a coffee shop brewing on-site, Chinese cuisine, desserts, and much more. The wide selection and safety measures make Eaton Hotel’s buffet a must-try and a very secure choice for anyone wondering what they can eat during their stay in Hong Kong. At the buffet, my experiences were worthy of high praise. With exceptional food and an endless amount of plentiful, I couldn’t stop eating. After trying a bit of every cuisine, I felt satisfied and well-fed. Every morning, I woke up excited, knowing an amazing buffet awaited me. Additionally, alongside fantastic accommodation, Eaton Hotel features a highly acclaimed restaurant on its ground floor, called Yat Tung Heen. Like the buffet, they offer separate menus for gluten-free diners, and staff clearly state whether each dish contains allergens when asked. Yat Tung Heen offers a traditional Chinese dining experience but can cater to those with allergies. In summary, Eaton Hotel provides not only excellent accommodation but also fantastic, allergy-friendly food options of all kinds. Just below this fine hotel is Yat Tung Heen, which presents a gateway to a variety of delicacies where you need not worry about dietary restrictions, as they have it all covered. Visiting this restaurant always makes me thankful, because not many Hong Kong restaurants look after allergies as well, and those that do often don’t serve the best food. That’s not the case with Yat Tung Heen—they continue to delight my taste buds. In conclusion, if you’re ever heading to Hong Kong, I highly recommend this place, as it offers delicious food and is very accommodating to various dietary needs.
