The story
Restavracija Hong Kong 2 in Moste has cultivated a steady following since opening its doors in January 2011. This dedicated Chinese kitchen preserves a recipe collection that originally launched in Kamnik during October 1997. Owner Aifen Ji manages daily service with a focus on consistent preparation and direct guest interaction. Her hands-on leadership guarantees the kitchen maintains the operational standards praised by independent reviewers.
The kitchen draws heavily from Sichuan and Hong Kong traditions that prioritise bold aromatics and controlled heat. Guests frequently order dim sum parcels filled with whole prawns and dipped into soy garlic chilli mixtures. The pan-fried dumplings paired with spicy cabbage reveal careful wok timing and precise vegetable cutting. Heavier selections like Mongolian grilled meat arriving on scorching iron plates demonstrate how the chefs balance sharp textures against rich sauces.
Critics from Gault&Millau awarded the venue thirteen points while highlighting the complex flavour profiles and relaxed service culture. The interior design balances open sightlines with enclosed zones so diners never feel crowded during peak hours. Staff members readily recommend local Slovenian wines or chilled jasmine tea to complement the heavier spice levels. This straightforward approach to beverage service keeps the restaurant accessible for both neighbourhood regulars and visitors exploring traditional Chinese cuisine.
