I was super excited to try the ‘Chairman’ of the New Territories 😆 Especially since they specialize in Hakka cuisine!
I was very pleased with their friendly staff as well as the speed they dishes came out in. After 10 minutes of ordering, dishes were coming out left and right! Sometimes two at a time too. Which is good as we finished everything in under an hour.
The air conditioning here is quite weak, so you will get hot very easily. It is also very popular and will get full very fast. Great place for family gatherings due to the lively atmosphere.

白熗豬前腿筋Pork Tendon with Shallot Oil and Soy Dipping Sauce $168
Might I say this is their signature dish?! I knew we had to get this and the result did not disappoint.
The tendons are chewy and tender but mild and bland on its own. It is also quite oily due to the additional shallot oil to the fatty tendon. With the sauce, it becomes a vessel for the savory and addicting sauce.
Perfect way to get more collagen into my body 😝 also a great appetizer to start our meal with.

鹹菜胡椒豬肚湯Chinese Pickle, Pork Tripe and Pepper Soup $98
Ordered mild and it’s very mild. Love the chewy pork tripe
We decided to order a soup too along without meal to see if it would be authentic.
Went for the mild as the family cannot handle too much spice but I personally would have liked it to be more intense. Even though it was very aromatic and pepper-y, it doesn’t burn your throat or mouth, only heats up your body.
I really enjoyed the crunchy and refreshing salted cabbage and chewy and surprisingly flavorful pork tripe. One bowl also has a lot of it too and enough to serve six bowls or soup.

豆醬炒青瓜苗Stir-fried Cucumber Seedling with Bean Paste $128
This is one elusive and unique dish that you can’t find anywhere else in HK (I believe). It is super refreshing and crunchy with a taste and texture similar to zucchini. I thoroughly enjoyed the little salty beans (same one used for Chui Chow bean sauce) that melts in your mouth.
I highly recommend trying this as opposed to the common choy sum, butter melon and cabbage.

自家製黃酒炒雞 (半隻) Stir-fried Chicken with Glutinous Rice Wine $188
The waitress said this is one of their signature dishes but I think she was just fishing for more money 😅
We all collectively agreed that the chicken is tough and overcooked, the pieces are also quite small with bones in all of them.
The flavor though is quite nice and sweet, not very savory and rich. Even though she said this is a ‘rich’ flavored dish.

紅蔥爆連墨汁鮮吊桶 Stir-fried Baby Squid with Red Onion $198
Squid bursts! I loved it but the family didn’t like the ink. Love the crunchy onion
Another one of the recommendations that many people loved. It also follows market price and today’s was a bit hefty.
I absolutely loved the tender squid and how the ink bursts in your mouth hen you bite into it! But do be careful as the ink is very hot and might burn your mouth.
However, the sautéed red onion is very very delicious. Crunchy and refreshing with a great pungent flavor that slightly lingers. The sauce they fried this in is so addictive.
The portion is not bad, around 8-10, sizes vary with huge pieces and some smaller ones. But quite expensive tbh.

油浸本地水塘卡筍殼 Deep fried Marble Goby with Sweet Soy Sauce $588
Star of the night! The skin is crispy and fried to perfection, acting as a layer of protection for the delicate flesh. The outside is coated in a sweet soy sauce that is so good and addictive.
The inside juxtaposes with the outside as it is soft and untainted, so you get to try the raw taste of the delicious fish which is mild and quite chewy, not quite melt-in-your-mouth as quite firm. So this is match made in heaven with the flavorful and crisp exterior.
I highly recommend this although the market price is quite expensive. This is the small one and the bigger one (with thicker meat) is $1088. But this small one was enough to feed four people.
The face and tail also houses a lot of flesh and flavor so be sure to suck all the bones!

豬油缽仔飯 Steamed Rice in Clay Pot (with pork lard and soy sauce) $15
Very small portion, ordered this to eat with the various dishes but it can be a dish on its own. The savory lard pairs well with the nutty jasmine rice.
The pot is quite small so can be shared between two people.

💬 Overall, would love to come back as it is very close to home. The food is not bad too, very different from the usual Chinese food I eat. Be sure to book the early session at 6pm so the food doesn’t run out!
