Boyfriend and I were in this area of Kwai Chung to meet up with an old coworker of mine who lived in the area. I haven't seen here in a while so she said to just meet her at a place nearby her home. 叉燒丼家 (English name: The Master of Char Siu) was what she chose because she remembered I love char siu. At first we thought it was a roast meat place but when we crossed the street, we found it was cha chan teng. Menu is in English and Chinese. There is no 10% service charge. The sets include a hot
Menu is in English and Chinese. There is no 10% service charge. The sets include a hot drink with options for upgrades.
Red Bean Horlicks ($8). For $8, you can upgrade to a fancy drink. It was a better deal than upgrading for a cold drink so boyfriend and I went for this. Boyfriend ordered the red bean Horlicks. This was topped with plenty of whipped cream. The red beans were soft and there was plenty of sweet coconut milk.
Crunchy Ovaltine ($8). I had this. It was topped with an Oreo cookie. It was topped with lots of whipped sream as well and was fairly chocolately. There was some chocolate cereal on top for the crunchy part of the name.
Char Siu and Eel with Rice ($82). I ordered this as he had never heard of this combination before. Curiosity will always be the death of me. The eel was ok, nicely layered with sauce and no bones were detected. The char siu was definitely the star. Sweet and not too fat. But still enough fat to keep one happy. Portion size wasn't too big as the rice wasn't a lot. I could finish it on my own.
Rich Tomato Char Siu Macaroni Soup with Ham, Scrambled Egg and Butter Toast ($45). Boyfriend played it safer and ordered a classic cha chan teng item. The tomato soup was fairly rich with a touch of Italian herbs found in it. the char siu was a bit more fat than the one but just as good.
It came with toast, scrambled egg and ham. The ham was fine and not overly salty. The scrambled eggs were soft and fluffy. Oddly the toast was very thin and not buttered. But at least it was crispy.
Condensed French Toast ($22). My friend had the French toast. This was topped with condensed milk and syrup was placed on the side. What was surprising is there was peanut butter in it! So many places have started to leave out the peanut butter now. I had a bit of the French toast and it was pretty good. Not overly oily.
