This little hole in the wall diner is so unpretentious that everytime I visit, I'm reminded of the fact that THIS is what food should be all about: Simple, fresh, healthy, delicious - and affordable & fast as well - what more can you possibl want!As usual, I started with an order of a fresh young coconut, which - in this case, was again of perfect age, meaning that the flesh was still very translucent and jellylike, making the water extremely thirst-quenching and healthy.

As usual, I started with an order of a fresh young coconut, which - in this case, was again of perfect age, meaning that the flesh was still very translucent and jellylike, making the water extremely thirst-quenching and healthy. (The properties of this drink change with the maturity of the coconut. Sadly, most other diners in HK serve coconuts that are way too old, with hard flesh and coconut water that already lost most its original health benefits...) I ordered my favourite salad, the chicken salad with crunchy vegetable. It is always a delight and everytime I eat it, I think to myself: How could I have forgotten how wonderful this is and why don't I come here more often?! The vegetable is so finely shredded that it is like a crazy birds nest and it is laced with crunchy bits of fried shallot and gently poached chicken that has been hand-pulled. The salad has a Vietnamese dressing with delicious punctuation of lemon and a sweet note that is highly addictive. Since I wanted to try something new, I also ordered the Turmeric grilled Vietnamese fish, which came on a bed of steamed rice noodles. How glad I am to have ordered this. Another perfect dish that I was truly delighted with: The fish was grilled to have a slightly crispy skin while the inside was succulently moist and perfectly shiny, just how I like it. I'm not sure what type of fish it was but it reminded me of my favourite black cod. The fresh dill herb was the ideal condiment for this dish and the noodles added extra texture and held the lovely juices from the fish. Again, I am amazed by this wonderful little diner. Wish I could go more often and pray that one day they'll open a branch near my home... Love it!
