Sham Shui Po is as place that always bring the most interesting foodie finds. And on this day, I found something pretty spectacular.

Located behind some market stalls, is a shop that serves noodles and rice. It's not pretty to look at. In fact, it looks like it's been here for a long long time. Every table is full and there are people waiting. Seating is cramped and you share a table with strangers. This place has not mention in any media or foodie blogs. There were no magazine clippings on the wall. Nothing. Yet it was busy with a steady stream of people sitting down, eating and leaving.

Boyfriend and I walked by, curious and sat down. There is not English name on the shop. Just Chinese. The menu is found on the wall. Surprisingly, the menu is in English and Chinese!

 Beef Stew with Rice in Special Sauce ($30). Boyfriend ordered this and it was ... ok. Nothing really spectacular with this. The beef was moist. The sauce it was braised in wasn't as rich as most other places that did something similar.

 Pork and Chive Dumpling Shanghai Noodle Soup ($28). First, super value for money. Most places only give you 4 dumplings. This place? SIX! SIX DUMPLINGS! FOR $28!!

 The dumplings were large in size. The skin not too thick and not too thin. It was smooth with no starchy aftertaste. They were stuffed with chives and pork. These were quite possibly the best dumplings I've ever had in Hong Kong.

 House Special Fish Soup ($15 for small size). We chose a small size bowl of house special fish soup as it was the house special. For a small size, there was quite a decent portion size. The fish meat was shaped in thin strands. It had a strong fish taste and had a nice bouncy texture. These were pretty good and I think I could have downed another bowl.

 A great find when I least expected.  Service was friendly. Surprising as most places like this would just give you gruff service. Will definitely return again if in the area.
