I had friends in town so we decided to go to Saikung for seafood. With no restaurant in mind, we were hassled by all the aggressive waiters along the promenade so we settled on Chuen Kee because it was advertised as Michelin-rated. We went with the 4-person set menu for $600 total (no service fee) which allowed us to choose 5 seafood dishes from a bigger list. We chose the sweet shrimp, mantis shrimp, abalone, cheese lobster noodles, crab, and morning glory stir fried with shrimp paste. While the sweet shrimps were small, they were fresh and delicious. The mantis shrimp were also large and savory. Aside from the shrimps, the other seafood we chose were underwhelming, esp. the crab. The crab was too small, and the very little meat it had was mushy. The abalone was overcooked. The lobster was good, but the cheese was actually a cheap cream sauce.
