It surprises me how high the turnover rate is for restaurants in Tsim Sha Tsui. When I looked up Joyous House on Openrice, I was a bit confused as there were two listings, one of those belongs to a smoothie shop I tried a while ago. It all makes sense when I got to Joyous House to see that it has taken over from the smoothie shop, which lasted for less than half a year…I guess it’s hard to run a food and beverage business in Hong Kong, especially in districts like Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay.

Joyous House is a Taiwanese style bento shop that sells take-away bento like those you can get on trains in Taiwan. I ordered this Spicy Chicken Fillet with Minced Meat one for just HKD$47, and the portion is huge!
I was thinking about eating it on the street, as there was no seating area in the shop. However, it’s too big to be enjoyed as street food. So happen I had my insulating lunch bag with me, so I put it in and took a 40 minutes journey home to eat it.
The lunch bag did work its magic, the bento was still warm when I got home. The rice was so good! Half of it was flavoured with the minced meat, and the other half was flavoured with lemony sauce underneath the chicken fillet (the chicken fillet didn’t taste like that though).
The chicken fillet was great, even though I didn’t eat it immediately upon purchase. However, I ordered a spicy one, but this one wasn’t spicy at all…I wonder why…
The portion is huge. I only managed to finish ¾ of it, and left some rice and minced meat for lunch the next day. Definitely good value for portion and taste.
