Chuen Cheung Kui is a very old Chinese restaurant, spanning three decades of service. Serving Hakka cuisine, it's not fancy. Just your basic Chinese restaurant. Menu all in Chinese and is in the form of a check off list.They have sets that are a serious bargain. For two mains and an appetizer, it all costs $178. If you order from these sets, 10% service charge and tea charge is waved. We decided to go with the sets as it was lunch time. The same menu is available for dinner but just costs a bit

Salt Bake Chicken. This is a favorite when my father is in town. We always order this and he even orders it to go. If you order it to go, the chicken is still wrapped in a paper bag that it was baked in. This is seriously good. The chicken is moist and tender. It's fragrant in the salt it was baked in without being a mouthful of salt. There is a dipping sauce that is not too salty and tastes like the essence of the chicken. This was a big portion, too as we asked for a small size.

Taro Duck. There is a wait time of about half an hour for this. The fried taro on top was a bit too hard and difficult to bite into The duck was a bit dry. This wasn't a very good dish. But portion size was big. We couldn't finish so we took it home.
Sweet Potato Tapicoa Dessert Soup. We didn't know that dessert was part of lunch session until we overheard an elderly couple next to us ask for it. This is free and part of set but you have to ask for it. They don't offer it to you right off the bat. How very typical old school Chinese restaurant! The dessert was pretty good. Not too sweet but with a strong sweet potato taste.
Really good deals that we didn't expect from some place like this. As we were about to leave, it was 2 PM and they have an afternoon tea session. Afternoon tea is even more of a deal. Example, plate of stir fried noodles for $26. Add an ice lemon tea for $3. It's cheaper than going to a cha chan teng! And afternoon tea session does not have 10% service charge and tea charge! No wonder all the seniors eat here! They know where to eat cheap and good!
