Sometimes, in an area you least expect, you will find an eatery.

In the middle of this shopping complex, among all the other shops selling clothes and nick knacks is a tiny shop with a long man who is grilling away. As you can see from the photo, the hallway that is located is very narrow. It looked a bit like an alley (but we were inside a shopping center).
The shop is very small and geared for take away. Or there are a few seats that you can sit. It remotely reminded me of one those small little yakitori type shops found in Shinjuku's drinking alley.
Menu is in Chinese only. It consisted mostly of grilled food that the man does on a grill plate.
We decided to order a snack of grilled black pork bacon ($30). Yeah, there may be some black charcoal-like bits. But it tasted pretty good. If you love bacon, this is the dish for you. It's gloriously unhealthy. The meat was moist. It was oddly salty even though I didn't see him season it.
The food was pretty good for such a small place. The man who worked there seemed to be very proud of his shop and was super friendly. Talking constantly about his vision for this place, he even gave us a free box of tea to drink while we continued to chat. We did note that he needed to improve on the overhead smoke that occurred when he cooked. I had visited this a long time ago and only write about this now as Openrice finally listed this place. From more current photos, I noticed that he has since installed a suction vent much like those found at Korean BBQs. Hopefully, this will clear up the ventilation problems.A venture with a lot of hope. A man with a vision and a dream. The man seemed passionate and I hope he succeeds. Tsuen Wan is not an area I go to often but if I do ... I'll be sure to drop by and see if he's still there.
