Before we walked into this restaurant after having other dishes elsewhere, I already forewarn my friend that this branch of 鳳城酒家 is probably not going to be good. If 北角鳳城 is different in that its much more traditional in setting and food preparation, especially with Yum Cha, and the other 鳳城's such as Mongkok and Causeway Bay are the norm, then the 紅磡酒家 is more like a tourist trap?Had the following:1) Famous Prawns 鍋貼大明蝦.

Had the following:
1) Famous Prawns 鍋貼大明蝦. Its a very special dish in a way but way too oily, also little fresh prawn taste. I guess this suits tourists really well though.
2) Braised Abalone. Obviously the wrong place to order it, stupid me. Stock did not penetrate into the abalone, the texture was so tough.
3) Stir Fried and Deep Fried Garoupa (fried bones) - Fish fillets too starchy, little fish taste but mainly ginger and pepery taste. Bones had no meat attached, unlike other shops, therefore it was not fried to crispy enough to enjoy.
4) Crab meat with Gai Choi (Chinese Mustard Green) - Super gooey, no crab meat taste as its covered with the corn-starch sauce, Gai Choi had absolutely no Gai Choi distinct taste as they're were over boiled. This vegie is usually nice and available year round although best around October and April usually, when we had it it had little taste. Not acceptable.
