Best meal in HK, holy crap is this place good. Same friends who came with me to Fu Sing (my rec) took me here (their rec) and wow am I glad they did. Very close to all those chili crab places right off or on Lockhart. Rowdy place (I loved the atmosphere) that is super crowded and has lots of people happily eating and drinking. Let’s get to the food:- Chili crab: this is single handily one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. Its crab fried with a huge amount of this fried crispy garlic, scallio
Let’s get to the food:
- Chili crab: this is single handily one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. Its crab fried with a huge amount of this fried crispy garlic, scallions and peppers. This garlic is weird its super crispy and its not nearly as strong as regular garlic cloves, so you can eat a lot of it, I was literally taking spoonfuls of it. The crab has such a good flavor with everything. I just can’t say enough about how good this was.
- Spare ribs: I don’t know what this was called in Chinese b/c I didn’t order anything (big group of like 8-9 people), these were awesome. They came in a clay pot and were battered and fried and then glazed with some sort of sweet and sour sauce, but these were different than jing du pai gu, they were less sweet and brownish as opposed to red, there were some pineapples in the clay pot as well. The meat was nice and tender, the sauce wasn’t overly sweet. Just really awesome
- Braised fish head: this is the one thing I ordered, I showed up a little late so they had already ordered, but I saw fish head soup on the menu and it looked good. The guy told me they ran out, but he had braised fish head, so I said okay. Awesome, braised in some sort of spicy soy sauce with chilis and scallions. The meat on the head was so tender and the sauce tasted amazing with this dish, super good.
- Spicy clams: my friend ordered this, another “wow” type of dish. Clams stir fried in this brown spicy sauce, so flavorful. The sauce was amazing, wasn’t heavy or goopy, not too salty just really good. The clams were nice and fresh too.
- Chili mantis prawn: same thing as chili crab with mantis prawn, really good. I forgot that mantis prawn can be really good if you cook it right, tastes like a slightly sweeter lobster, another huge winner
Overall, best meal in HK and probably best meal of the trip. I really loved this place and it’s a super fun place to drink a lot of beer and eat some amazing food.
