In Quarry Bay, there is an alley behind The Newsroom with several dai pai dong style restaurants where you can sit outside. Most of the restaurants are popular with the lunch crowds as the prices are pretty reasonable. With no AC, it's harder to deal to sit outside during the summer though. At Hung Don Don, there are a limited number of seats inside but it's a fire hazard in there as it is so crowded. Hung Don Don offers some Japanese-inspired dishes like udon and Japanese curry.

Hung Don Don offers some Japanese-inspired dishes like udon and Japanese curry. I usually get something that's more of a Chinese dish - the rice in ginseng chicken soup & shredded chicken in shaoxing wine sauce. It's only available every Monday and Thursday.
Cold Coffee with Tea 鴛鴦 (+$3) - I ordered a cold coffee with tea along with my lunch set. The drink was alright as the taste of coffee was not as strong as I'd like. It's not the best but at least it wasn't watery.
Rice in Ginseng Chicken Soup & Shredded Chicken in Shaoxing Wine Sauce ($55) - the chicken and the rice arrived separated. The bowl of shredded chicken was small with lots of Shaoxing wine sauce. The chicken was smooth and tender enough while the sauce was tangy and sweet, which tasted great with the meat. Just wished there was more chicken. The ginseng soup actually tasted decent with ginseng scent and flavor. It was great to drink and eat with the rice, especially for someone like me who doesn't like standalone rice in the first place.
The other dishes here are sometimes a hit or miss as they taste rather homemade. While the prices are reasonable, the seating environment leaves a lot to be desired for both indoor and outdoor seating.
