This restaurant's location is located in the heart of Central. A district where you would think to dine out would cost an arm and a leg, especially when you are out on a date with your loved one, and in this instance, the prettiest girl in the world, the apple of my eye, lets call her Anastasia.After a nice casual stroll around the old police station, we were both hungry. She said shes hungry and wants something good. I looked in my wallet, and all I can find was 1x $50 bill and 2x $20 bill.
After a nice casual stroll around the old police station, we were both hungry. She said shes hungry and wants something good. I looked in my wallet, and all I can find was 1x $50 bill and 2x $20 bill. I freaked out, what to do, cafe de corale is gona suck but at the same time I dont wanna eat at Robuchon.
Then Anastasia said shes would take me to this nice 燒味 place in central. I said "Okay " with a smiley face. But in my head I'm like "Nice place?.. in Central? ahhh crap is gona be pricy... but whatever... gota ball out sooner or later anyway" And then she brought me here. A very nicely decorated Chinese restaurant, very spacious yet not crowded.
I gathered my nerves and flipped open the menu, expecting a simple 揚州炒飯 is gona cost me the price of 2 boxes of 3M N95s. But to my surprise, I was taken away by how great the value was for the food thats served here.
I ordered what she ordered, as I was not sure how to order from these posh restaurants, and I did not want to appear too out of place, so I simply mirrored her order, 燒肉油雞飯.
The waitress asked whether I want their daily soup. I asked whether its free? She said no. Just as I was about to say "No thanks...“ The waitress told me is only $10 HKD. Immediately my baby girl said she wants 1. I remember my wallet had $90HKD. Still within my budget, so I said "make that 2" like a boss.

The soup was very hot, was very flavorful and did not taste of MSG. Very much like home cooked. Generous portion and was very delicious. I must say, this soup was super good.

It was too good that I got sick of drinking out of this tiny spoon made for tiny humans. I simply drank right out of the bowl like I was at home and... it was very satisfying. And once I did that, Anastasia also copied me drinking out of the bowl. Anastasia looked so pretty.

Then finally came the main course. The $65HKD 燒肉油雞飯. The 燒肉 was very tender. Skin was crispy. It was super delicious. As for the 油雞, the skin was not too fatty and the meat was extremely juicy and tender. Offering the most perfect chicken skin to meat radio. I got the breast but my baby girl got the chicken leg. they did not cheap out on the servings of meat. It was delicious and plentiful. I was more than satisfied. Plus, the 燒味 flavored 醬油 and oil soaked rice tasted sooo delicious, I licked my bowl spotlessly clean. Did not want to leave a single rice behind. Anastasia appreciated how much I loved her suggestion, and I love her for suggesting such a delicious and great valued restaurant to my liking. I will make this restaurant a place we will frequently go for anniversaries.
The night was simply perfect.
