Dinner in the private room hosted by the TuenMuners, who being seafood enthusiasts, have tried all Sam Shing Hui outlets. This relatively new restaurant has recently become their favorite.My first time at Sam Shing Hui, a historic fishing village named after a nearby Chinese temple.

My first time at Sam Shing Hui, a historic fishing village named after a nearby Chinese temple.
By the time I walked in, hosts had already sorted out the seafood from the Seafood Market. Should have made an effort to arrive earlier and walk round the pier etc.
Anyway. Here’s what we had.
The meal began with a triumvirate of Cantonese classics:
-Roasted Goose- a signature, with crisp golden skin and juicy flavorful meat.
-Char Siu
-Roasted Pork Belly- practically melted in my mouth; maybe too fatty.
Deep-Fried Abalone sprinkled with spiced salt: delicate crunch on the outside and a tender, almost buttery interior.
Deep-fried mantis shrimp seasoned with garlic and spiced salt, bursting with oceanic freshness. Server came over with a pair of scissors and instructed us on the most efficient way to cut it up.
Lobster baked with Cheese: another signature; succulent lobster meat covered with cheesy crust.
Scallops steamed with garlic and vermicelli
Steamed Grouper (東星斑)- showcased the chefs' skills and deft touch.
Clams in Black Bean Sauce- normally a big fan of the 煎米底 but unfortunately sauce was too spicy for me. Still, loved the texture- crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Alaska King Crab: definitely the star of the night.
Fried Rice- perfectly executed, a delightful accompaniment to the seafood feast.
Dessert: 南瓜西米露
In conclusion: exceptional seafood extravaganza experience with the traditional ‘sea-to-table’ approach by picking our ingredients fresh from market. Service was attentive and knowledgeable.
