Red Penny

Tucked away deep in the New Territories, Red Penny is by no means easily accessible. But once you arrive, you’ll know right away that it’s worth the trip. With dim, ambient lighting, palm trees, crisp white tablecloths and comfy chairs both inside and alfresco, it’s easy to forget that you’re in the New Territories and not Koh Samui. Ordering a la carte, we had a satisfying appetizer platter with chicken, pork and beef satay skewers, deep-fried prawn cakes, which were juicy and chewy, and spring rolls that were crisped to perfection. There is also a grill at the far end of the restaurant with a selection of fresh seafood and meat, which you can pick yourself and have grilled up right in front of you. We ordered a dozen tiger prawns, and the meat was so juicy and tender that we easily could have ordered a dozen more. Definitely a great spot for a casual date.
