This place has been one of our favorites for the past 10 years. Recently we had the chance to visit this place again, and to our delight we found that the overall food quality was still satisfactory.

This place has been one of our favorites for the past 10 years. Recently we had the chance to visit this place again, and to our delight we found that the overall food quality was still satisfactory. We deliberately avoided ordering the "famous" chicken this time as we were keen to try some other dishes. The wait staff recommended to us the roast goose and it was indeed quite nice, with cripsy skin and tender, juicy meat; in fact we thought it was almost as good as the chicken itself !
The MSG-free pig lung soup was also good, with the pig lungs slowed-cooked with numerous other ingredients like 沙參, 南北杏etc , giving it a very sweet taste. The sea cucumbers braised in shrimp roe sauce with vegetables was another recommended dish, with the shrimp roe sauce giving it a very rich flavor while at the same time being not excessively salty, this one was perfect for going with rice. For seafood lovers, besides king prawns braised in soy sauce (one of the signature dishes of this place) we would also recommend the crabs stir-fried with ginger and spring onion (cooked using fresh crabs and with good 鑊氣, definitely a dish not to be missed). Other dishes like deep fried 九肚魚 with chilli and steamed pork patty were ok but not terribly impressive in our opinion. Service was not too bad, especially after a few visits when you got acquainted with some of the wait staff. And don't hang around after finishing your meal for too long, as they do not serve desserts here. Overall still a good, reliable joint in the Wanchai area; we look forward to coming back every now and then for a visit - and not just for the love of chicken, by the way ... ...
