Artichoke Canteen offers a range of healthy and tasty dishes.

Why you’ll never be short of dining options in Ap Lei Chau

People seldom get bored looking for something to eat in Ap Lei Chau. The abundant seafood supply and the flourishing hip eateries entwine the island’s food map, making a deliciously prepared Snapper in ginger and scallions for lunch, a grilled deer rack with puff pastry spinach roll for dinner, followed by a red bean sweet soup not impossible.
