There are many other restaurants that are more authentic and more affordable, but this floating restaurant in Aberdeen has been in operation for more than 30 years and attracts a bustling crowd with its claims to be the largest floating restaurant in the world. Simply take the bus to Aberdeen and then board one of the Jumbo Kingdom's own free shuttle boats, with departures every few minutes from the waterfront Aberdeen Promenade (another option is to join one of the nighttime organized tours that stop here for dinner). Although the exterior of the restaurant is as ornate and -- perhaps to some eyes -- as gaudy as you could hope for (have your cameras ready as the boat approaches), the renovated interior is contemporary. Specializing in fresh seafood, Jumbo Kingdom also offers roasted goose, Peking duck (HK$360), and changing seasonal dishes, but my favorite meal here is dim sum, available from an English menu (from trolleys on Sun and holidays) until 4pm. Dragon Court, a smaller, more formal dining hall, offers much of the same fare, with dim sum served only off the menu; you might be able to get a table here immediately on Sunday, bypassing the first-come, first-served waiting list for the more popular -- and more fun -- main dining hall.
