There are so many branches in Hong Kong.
I was captivated by their Hairy Crab roe poster at Wong Tai Sin and all over the MTR stations.
As I was in Causeway Bay the other day, I went there with friends and we had other dishes as well.++++++++
Sliced Pork Terrine:
Started with this classic terrine where the jelly melts in your mouth while the pork bits are really tasty.++++++++
Mung Bean Noodles with Shredded Chicken:
This one was my favourite, springy mung bean noodles in a thick peanut and sesame dressing complimented by refreshing julienne cucumber.++++++++
Smoked Fish with Mixed Spices:
The fish was crisp and sweet with a play of spices that were not spicy.++++++++
Noodles with Hairy Crab Roe:
I love noodles and these have to be eaten asap while it is hot and delicious.There was so much crab roe to cover every strand of noodle.
++++++++
Assorted Mushrooms wrapped in Crispy Bean Curd Sheet with Hairy Crab Roe:
This had to be the star of the show, the dish that was advertised on the poster, it was crispy with juicy mushrooms in the middle served with a generous pile of crab roe to compliment it.++++++++
Scrambled Egg White with Hairy Crab Roe:
Another classic dish was the scrambled egg white covered in an abundance of crab roe, great with rice.++++++++
Steamed Pork Dumplings with Hairy Crab Roe:
The pork dumplings are a must in Shanghai cuisine and these were bursting with rich crab roe and pork in the middle.++++++++
Mini Glutinous Rice Balls in Fermented Rice Wine Soup:
Dessert ended with a sweet touch of soft chewy glutinous rice balls in sweet fragrant Osmanthus flowers and rice wine soup.++++++
Finished with the warming Fresh Lemonade with Ginger and Honey and the Chrysanthemum tea with Wolfberries and Honey.
