When Fried Rice is Best
2008-04-05 94 views
Half an hour late for our reservation, we were still able to catch our table, in fact an entire roomful of tables to choose from. At the seafood stall choices are ample, we ordered:1. Razor Clams steamed with fried garlic and vermicelli (Clams slightly overcooked but well flavored. Love the vermicelli soaking up the juices)2. Live boiled cuttlefish (fresh ocean sweetness from cuttlefish. Nothing's better than simple method like this)3. Cuttlefish stirfry with celery (this one, though is a disapp

Half an hour late for our reservation, we were still able to catch our table, in fact an entire roomful of tables to choose from. At the seafood stall choices are ample, we ordered:
1. Razor Clams steamed with fried garlic and vermicelli (Clams slightly overcooked but well flavored. Love the vermicelli soaking up the juices)
2. Live boiled cuttlefish (fresh ocean sweetness from cuttlefish. Nothing's better than simple method like this)
3. Cuttlefish stirfry with celery (this one, though is a disappointment. Overcooked again)
4. Conches in XO sauce (turned out the 'sauce' is brothy and doesn't taste like anything remotely "XO")
5. Boiled Conches (unfortunately turned to brown rubbery bits in shells)
6. Salt Baked Chicken (which turned out to be surprisingly good...even the chicken breast is extremely moist.
7. Roast Pork -- moist throughout interlayering meat and fat, and the crackling is awesome! Fantastic.
8. Fried Rice (with prawns and vegetables). Delicious and dry-- a good thing.
9. Geoduck (sliced and boiled at the table, served with its liver, which tasted like chicken when cooked. Sliced too thinly and reduced in size to almost nothing, luckily enough it doesn't taste fishy, and right to the crunch.

12 people, a mountain of food, with sodas for half the table and wine ended up with less than $2100 for the night. It's not bad for a meal filled with seafood, but it wouldn't be a steal given seafood were treated as silly intruders. Surprisingly good are the chicken, roasted pork and fried rice, quite a ride throughout the night.

Note that there is a shuttle bus that takes customers to and from MTR station, but the service ends at 10:30pm, make sure you catch that bus on your way back.
