FCC is a popular hangout for the expat community and famous for people watching (ranging from local journalists to silly gweilos)Though I am qualified to be a member, but the FCC doesn't really fit into my current lifestyle, and the rates for local journalists are good value for money, especially when there's a discount during the promotion period. For $1000 joining fee and $250 monthly fee in the first year, you can enjoy one of the best private membership clubs in Hong Kong.Let's get back to t

Let's get back to the food. The Openrice incorrectly lists the FCC as serving French cuisine. Instead it serves a wide array of international cuisine from Chinese fried rice to Indian curry to British roast beef. The last few times I was here, I was working so I didn't pay much attention to the food.
But yesterday my friends (one of whom is a member) and I had the signature dish Yorkshire pudding and roast beef for lunch in the Main Bar that is also a beautiful Victorian-style dining hall decorated with press clippings, magazine covers and photographs on the walls. I am not much for British cuisine, but the meat is properly done and tasty with the gravy. But what I really like is the drink (gunner, a drink favored by British expats in Hong Kong. It consists of equal parts lemonade or ginger beer and ginger ale) and the dessert, a light, small layered cake with chocolate and orange flavour. An excellent way to end the two-hour scrumptious lunch!
It's also worth mentioning that the staff here is very nice and friendly, unlike those who serve foreigners with a smile but are snobbish and nasty towards local people
