My friend is a loyal customer of Choi's Kitchen, she intended to bring us there on this saturaday night but we couldn't make a telephone reservation. We still went however to see if by chance that someone would cancel their booking. The manager regconised my friend and arranged a table for us within minutes after seeing how sincere we want to dine in there lol.Choi's Kitchen is a Hong Kong local style restaurant located in Tai Hang.

Choi's Kitchen is a Hong Kong local style restaurant located in Tai Hang. The settings was very simple with several wooden tables and stools. The place was small and uncomfortable to seat in, but the food is nice and very homey.Pepper Soup with Pork Stomach
I have always loved Pepper Soup with Pork Stomach, I like them very peppery. Choi's Kitchen soup was flavourful with strong pepper taste! The pork stomach were thoroughly washed with no stinky smell or taste. The pork stomach was chewy but rather bland in taste. The salty pickled vegetables were hence perfect to go with the pig stomach. The pepper soup was lovely but I had better ones in China!
Stir-fry Vegetables with Shrimp PasteShrimp paste is one of my favourite condiment, I love it's aroma and it's strong taste. This dish was however disappointing as the shrimp taste was very light and could not capture the shrimp paste's taste. The Garlic wHadith the other hand tasted too salty and had a horrible soft texture. The only nice thing I can say about the dish was that it's not oily.
Eel Clay Pot RiceThis clay pot is spectacular! The Eel was heavenly smooth and savoury! The soya sauce was needed to enhance the flavour! Rice is cooked perfectly, each rice grain was dry enough with lots of rice crisp at the pot side and bottoms.
Mixed Clay Pot ricePork with Shrimp Paste Clay Pot Rice
I also had a Mixed Clay Pot rice and Pork with Shrimp Paste Clay Pot Rice, but both of them were very saucy and wet and so weren't as nice as the Eel Pot Rice.
Choi's Kitchen in Tai Hang is famous for their clay pot rice, what's unknow to me was that they are very nice at other dishes too. The restaurant is always full, reservation in advanced is highly recommended. You might find their service is rather horrible especially the waiters' attitude, they can be very blunt sometimes. If you go a few times, you will understand that iss what their personality are. Price-wise, Choi's Kitchen is priced a bit higher than my expectation, but given its location, it is still acceptable. If you are looking for dishes other than Clay Pot rice, I would recommend you to go to another Chinese (e.g. Happy Fish Bistro) in the same area.Post
