Historic Kennedy Town remains a lesser known Hong Kong borough in the Western District, only
recently experiencing a boom due to the addition of good public transport links from Central. As
such, it’s one of Hong Kong’s better preserved areas, with its streets and sights hinting traces of
Hong Kong’s past. Here, the venerable Lo Pan Temple sits nearby to the modern Merton housing
complex, narrow streets are filled with dried fish merchants and rice sellers hawking their goods by
the scoop – but there are also some fantastic contemporary restaurants to be found. Down Hau Wo
Road, for instance, is a hidden gem of a Thai restaurant: Thalassic Thai.
Seafood features
prominently on the menu at Thalassic Thai, which makes sense given the restaurant’s name:
thalassic is a French word derived from the Greek word for sea, meaning of the sea, related to
the sea. Thalassic Thai’s compact premises down the very compact Hau Wo Road in Hong Kong’s
Kennedy Town is brimming with delicate seafood dishes done Thai-style. Fried New Zealand green
mussels with chilli paste join a host of spicier options at your table, like steamed grey mullet with
lemon, lime, and a fiery sauce served sizzling on a hot plate. Naturally, there are pages of classic Thai
rice and noodle dishes to choose from, too. With so many restaurants like Thalassic Thai waiting to
be discovered, many are beginning to say that west is best when it comes to Hong Kong dining with a
difference.
