Regal Chinese Restaurant Menu

Regal Chinese Restaurant brings Cantonese dining to the first floor above Courtenay Place, with a format that changes naturally through the day. Lunch centres on daily yum cha, when steamed, fried and baked plates can be combined into a shared meal, while dinner expands into a broad à la carte selection. The restaurant is licensed and also welcomes BYO wine, and its large tables make the room particularly well suited to family meals, work gatherings and groups that want to order communally.

The yum cha selection covers the essential contrasts of the style. Siu mai and har gow offer delicate steamed fillings, while pan-fried dumplings, spring rolls and wontons bring crisp edges and deeper savoury notes. A mixed dim sum platter provides an easy introduction for a table that wants variety without choosing every basket individually. These smaller dishes reward sharing and pacing, allowing diners to move between seafood, pork and vegetable flavours rather than committing to a single large lunch plate.

Peking duck is a central dinner speciality and can be ordered across one, two or three courses, letting a group extend the bird into a fuller meal. Cantonese barbecue continues with roast duck, pork and chicken, while seafood, sizzling plates and claypot-style hot pots add heat and ceremony at the table. Tofu, vegetables, egg foo young, fried rice and noodles make the menu workable for varied appetites, and a separate vegetarian range ensures meat-free diners have more than one fallback dish.

Desserts such as mango pudding, coconut jelly, durian mochi and small sweet buns provide a lighter conclusion after the savoury dishes. For private celebrations, Regal has four karaoke rooms as well as its main dining space, giving the restaurant a distinctly social purpose beyond a standard meal. Current online ordering adds pickup convenience, but the most characteristic experience remains a table filled with shared plates, whether that is a midday procession of dim sum or an evening built around duck, seafood and hot pots.
