上次路過見到這間泰國菜館，寫著「正宗泰式美食」，於是今趟專程到這間店食晚餐。可能我們比較早食的關係，一入內，沒有客人，我們可任意選擇位置。店很小，牆上貼滿很多名人在店內用餐的照片，這讓我們覺得可放心食用。食物選擇不多，只有一頁紙。我們叫了「木瓜沙律」、「豬肉碎生菜辣沙律」、「泰式炒菜苗」、「串燒牛肉」和「泰式炒河」。木瓜沙律，份量較小，我們已叫小辣，但我吃第一口就非常辣。豬肉碎生菜辣沙律，這就是我們平時在別店叫的「生菜包」。雖然肥豬肉頗多，但友人覺得比其他店更好吃。泰式炒菜苗，清清地，味道算不錯。因見餐牌有很多串燒美食，認為這店應該主打串燒。但由於友人不太愛吃串燒，所以只叫了一串「串燒牛肉」品嚐。泰式炒河，雖然賣相差，但味道不錯。

DO NOT GO HERE. This is the worst restaurant I have ever been to! It's a total disgrace. We decided not to have the overpriced grill fish, so we were served absolute garbage, recycled seafood shells, food in the Tom Yum soup and a Pad Thai someone wouldn't even feed to their dog. The waiter was a total a**hole who told us we didn't know what to order. Absolute dump! I just hope I don't get sick!!

剛進門就覺得猶如仙境，因為在鋪頭裏面的廚房好似無開抽油煙機，又無開冷氣，客人全部在濃重的油煙環境下食飯，當時候我已經覺得不妥，無奈天氣凍唔想行，又見鋪頭外面貼滿名人來用餐的照片，覺得可能味道很好，值得等。坐下後在一張紙上面tick好要食物（一件燒羊架，一個炒飯，一個醃雞腳），交單，然後就開始了漫長的等待過程。中途我的朋友因為鼻敏感，終於頂唔住油煙環境，叫老闆來了半扇門，感覺舒服好多。但我們等來等去，望來望去，在鋪頭的電視看完了愛回家，一樣食物都未上。旁邊的座位坐了兩個似是港大的學生，也等了好耐都無食物。催單時老闆用很不客氣的語氣講：得一個廚師啊，等下啦，唔會漏咗你！我們都很無語，後面那一檯的客人直情等到同老闆講撤單。如果唔係我朋友好有耐性，我真係忍唔住要走。講返食物，個醃雞腳都算fresh，但不知為何非常辣；羊架上檯食一碟都係血水，其實我不介意3成熟，但可否幫手擦下d血水先上檯啊～～個海鮮炒飯仲衰，類似炒燶鍋的味道，食到呢個程度，我終於開始有點明白呢間店的經營策略：讓客人等到餓死，然後上菜，這時乜都食得落。我也不想說話講得太盡，但這次的用餐經驗簡直差到令我想註冊openrice過來不吐不快。但畢竟可能人地有特色菜我未試過，所以我只能推薦不肚餓，不介意等，又不會對油煙敏感的客人過來嘗試下。

這麼美味的泰國菜居然只有1條評論！在此之前，我一直以為泰國菜是蝦膏炒飯、冬陰功之類的菜式，來到這一家，才發現原來“別有洞天”。串燒、牛脷等，配上酸辣的蘸汁，美味得難以忘懷！燒魚的魚肉很鮮嫩！雖然店面很小，容量也不超過50人，座位間甚至幾乎無空隙，但因為太美味，相信還會再來：）

BAKKER'S BITESJune 22nd, 2013"There's Something About Ping Kee..." (Ping Kee Thai Review - adapted for OpenRice)Ping Kee Thai Restaurant is on Third Street, crossing Water Street.It's been a while now that I've been meaning to blog about Ping Kee Thai, a neighbourhood restaurant in Sai Ying Pun. The only problem was that I always bring friends and - in my enthusiasm - kept forgetting to bring my camera with me.I was first taken to Ping Kee by a family friend, and in turn I've passed along the favour by introducing my own friends to this unassuming, family-run restaurant... one of whom literally went back the very next day, on his own, to relive our dinner - and, in particular, the AMAZING grilled fish.Although you can usually walk in to get a table, we happened to go on a public holiday, which meant there were more patrons than usual. After about a 20 minute wait - in which we enjoyed our fresh coconuts outside - we began the feast...Ping Kee is named after its chef, a hardworking and talented lady chef who prepares the food in a relatively small kitchen at the back. Her husband and son also work in the family business: by serving the floor and preparing BBQ grilled menu items.The secret ingredient tying every dish together is their special, homemade chili sauce. Spicy, sweet and little bit tart, it goes well with everything! If only I could somehow steal the recipe; I love it so much I could practically bathe in it...As I mentioned, part of the menu consists of BBQ grilled items that are prepared on order. Then of course, there's a slew of classic Thai dishes, with a splash of Cantonese influence here and there. We started with some grilled items - this being the perfect way to enjoy and savour Ping Kee's chili sauce and get our appetites flowing! There's a LOT more options for skewers/grilled items, so GO and sate your curiosity The star of the show always was, and continues to be (for me, at least) the Grilled Fish... a phenomenally fresh grilled white fish. Everyone I've brought agrees, and when you eat at the restaurant, you can spot regulars by the simple fact that they've also got one on their table.Arriving steaming hot, with herbs and chilli stuffed in its cavity for flavour, it has crispy, salt-encrusted skin encasing its tender meat. The meat within is sprinkled with dill, and when you eat it with the chili sauce together, it's just heaven.To accompany this, some pad thai was in order. Brimming with goodies (fresh vegetables, chicken and egg), the pad thai was such a success that we felt it would be wrong to leave Ping Kee without eating more.And so followed a deliciously creamy and fragrant green chicken curry......which, of course, we needed rice to eat with. Thankfully we opted for a huge plate of pineapple rice, instead of steamed rice - because it was the best pineapple rice I've ever had.Chunks of juicy pineapple, chopped vegetables, raisins lay under a bed of pork floss which, once you've mixed it together, produces a most delightful texture and flavour. I couldn't help scooping pineapple rice, green curry and cabbage (below) all into one bowl, mixing it together and revel in how lucky I am that I live so near to Ping Kee. Casual, familial and bursting with good, honest food, Ping Kee is one of my favourite places to eat in Hong Kong. It has never disappointed me yet, and whenever I feel like a great dinner and a couple of beers with friends, my mind immediately jumps to Ping Kee...So, what are you waiting for! Bakker x
