Spring Moon 嘉麟樓 Reviews from The Last Year
Still one of the best Cantonese restaurant in HK
This Michelin 1-star Cantonese restaurant is located in The Peninsula Hong Kong. Being the Chinese dining anchor of this prestigious hotel, it is already a guarantee of quality. We have come here a few times before, every time to great satisfaction. Tonight, we arrive at 6:30 sharp, with a lot of anticipation of what great dishes and dining experience is in store for us. Coming up to the first floor, from its entrance one can immediately associate back to the tea house of 50/60s, with the hanging fan, plenty of beautiful porcelain, wooden floor, and the red carpet with traditional patterns. Seated at a table at the back, looking up the mezzanine floor got me thinking what does dining on that floor feels like, looking at other customers downstairs. While enjoying a glass of the house champagne, the sommelier introduces us to a Spanish winery, Comando G, in Sierra de Gredos, not far from Madrid. Las Umbrias 2021 ($3,800) is their single vineyard old vine Grenache, with a wonderfully delicate and floral aromas, but packed with a good tannin and acidity, showing rich red fruit and minerality. A good match with the food as well. We order Smoked Barbecued Hungarian Mangalica Pork with Honey ($478) to start. The pork comes from a special breed in Hungary, a prized domestic pig with thick curly hairs. The BBQ pork has been roasted perfectly, very tender and flavourful, with a nice char, and the honey glazed not too sweet. We also like the braised soy beans, a traditional side dish that virtually disappeared nowadays. Next, we have Deep-Fried Crab Shell Stuffed with Crab Meat and Onions ($280 each). Instead of baking in oven, the chef has deep-fried the stuffed crab shell, with a thin crust of beautiful golden colour, but without any oily feeling. The stuffing is mostly crab meat, with only small amount of onion, unlike many other restaurants which got so many other fillings you feel being cheated. Then comes Wok-Seared Lobster and Scallop with XO Sauce ($1,028). This dish highlights the quality of the ingredients and the chef’s cooking skill. The lobster and scallop are both cooked impeccably, without a hint of under or over, with their original flavours showcase to the maximum. The sweet snap peas are also great in taste, tender and without any fibre. Amazing. The last dish we have is Braised Eggplant with Sea Cucumber, Salted Fish and Broad Bean Chili Sauce in Clay Pot ($448). Served in a sizzling pot, the texture of eggplant is perfect, not too soft or hard. The sea cucumber has a good crunchy to contrast nicely with the eggplant. The taste is good, but I hope a bit more salted fish can be used to dial up the savoury flavours. Intending to order dessert, the manager instead provided a complimentary Chilled Mango Pudding. The signature dessert has plenty of mango chunks on top of a soft and rich pudding, with also some strawberries to add to the presentation and flavours. The pudding is not too sweet, just the perfect degree to reward the palate without making one feel guilty from a health perspective. There is also a Petits Fours including Cashew Nut and Lotus Paste Puff and Watermelon Cake. The former has a crumbling buttery crust with delicious lotus root paste, not too sweet, with a piece of cashew nut on top. The other is an appealing layer cake, with the three colours of red, white and green resembling a slice of watermelon. A fantastic finale to the wonderful meal. The bill on the night is $7,051. Service is very good, with the staff all friendly and attentive, however I hope they can provide more detailed introductions to the dishes as that will help the diners to understand and appreciate the food much better. But in terms of overall experience, it is still one of the best Cantonese restaurants in town.
Scrumptious Peking duck pancakes
Great spot for a special event - superb service and the Peking duck pancakes were delicious - we would definitely recommend it but it’s not cheap !
More than a meal - it's an experience!
A dim sum lunch at the Spring Moon Restaurant is more than a meal. It is an experience! For starters, the restaurant is located in The Peninsula Hotel - the grande dame of Hong Kong. So, you are spending time in an elegant piece of Hong Kong history. Secondly, the service is unobtrusive but outstanding. My tea cup was mysteriously refilled; my serving plates were exchanged for new one; I was asked if I was satisfied; my mobile phone was connected to the internet; and so much more. I was truly pampered in such an elegant setting. Now for the food. The list of dim sum choices covered three pages. I found myself ordering way too much. The waiter suggested that I get only two pieces of each, instead of the three pieces as listed. A great suggestion! My friend has special diet restrictions. The waiter made two trips to the kitchen to consult with the chef as to which dim sum could be prepared for her. She was very satisfied with her options. The pork bao is one of my favorites and I have ordered and eaten it many times in China and the United States. This port bao was the best I have ever tasted. The bun was light and moist and fluffy. The pork was in a very tasty sauce and there was a lot of port instead of the measly two or three pieces that you usually find in this bun. The deep fried rice ball with shrimp, pork and chicken was my next favorite. Even though fried, it was not oily. Light and crispy. Well, I think I have made my point. Dim sum at the Spring Moon is worth the trip and worth the price!
High quality dim sums, nostalgic decor
Went there for dim sums on Christmas Eve. I gave it four stars based on a comparison with many other restaurants. But I had higher expectation for a Peninsula restaurant. I think the dim sums were good but not very outstanding. The services were ok but not as attentive and professional as I excepted and experienced in the past. Compared with its nearby competitors (Regent’s Lai Chung Heen and Rosewood’s The Legacy House), I think Spring Moon needs to catch up a bit. But still if you like to enjoy high quality dim sums and traditional Chinese dishes in a nostalgically decorated environment, Spring Moon will not be wrong.
The old lady is still alive and in a great shape
Presumably the best Peking duck in the world even if, now, you have to prepare your pancakes by yourself 🤬 The drunken prawns seem to be alive in your mouth since they are so fresh Perfect service and one of the most impressive cellar in HKG A wonderful experience
Awful experience
Awful experience, low quality food especially their seafood soups. Any streetfood restaurant in HK is better than this. Does not worth at all their one Michelin star

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
