I have always wanted to try this place but it was hard to locate.It is situated very close to the MTR exit but well camouflaged because the building is grey and this joint is also grey and dark that it blends in.The exterior is designed so that it looks similar to a Hutong in the Ming dynasty.(For the description of Hutong, please see wikipedia)When you enter the joint, you can smell cumin and other spices.The joint is quite cosy with tables and bar tables.On the walls there are lots of posters
It is situated very close to the MTR exit but well camouflaged because the building is grey and this joint is also grey and dark that it blends in.
The exterior is designed so that it looks similar to a Hutong in the Ming dynasty.(For the description of Hutong, please see wikipedia)
When you enter the joint, you can smell cumin and other spices.
The joint is quite cosy with tables and bar tables.
On the walls there are lots of posters and old Chinese ornaments.
They do not have an English menu and the Chinese menu was confusing for me.I must be dyslexic at reading Chinese menus because it took me ages to understand their set meal.
The set meal had items that I wanted to try, so I ordered that.
However I wish the tables were bigger, unless you were sitting on a table for four people, there is not enough table space for all those dishes

Duck breast in beer and sichuan spices:
This was an interesting appetiser because of beer and the sichuan spices.
The sichuan spices contain sichuan peppercorns which give your mouth a tingling sensation.
I liked the way the sauce gave a tingling sensation from the peppercorns followed by the bitterness and fizzyness of the beer.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Grilled cuttlefish balls
It could have been grilled more evenly because part of it was burnt and black and the cuttlefish balls were cut in half, so you only get two cuttlefish balls per skewer.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Triangle shaped fishballs:
The texture was just like rubber, very chewy and elastic, but they tasted OK.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Grilled Beef
It was quite fatty, but tasted ok.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Grilled octopus mouth:
Not sure if they were cooked because they were slightly translucent. They tasted really nice but it was too salty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Hutong noodles
These were the best noodles I have ever tasted, I was expecting boring noodles with a side of oyster sauce, but the sauce was amazing.
I loved they way they put the spring onions and sauce aside so you can control the amount you put in.
The sauce was no ordinary sauce, it contained garlic and cumin.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Fermented beancurd chicken wings:
It just tasted like ordinary grilled chicken wings, there was not enough fermented beancurd sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Grilled whelks:
I had high expectations for theses, but they were over grilled, dry and chewy.
I was expecting them to be grilled in their shells which would prevent them not being so dry.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Lamb chops:
These lamb chops tasted amazing, they were soft and juicy absolutely no gaminess.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Lamb skewers:
Compared with the lamb chops, these were dry but very spicy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Grilled oysters:
The oyster was grilled with butter and garlic.
The taste was not as strong as i was expecting.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Grilled scallops:
This was also done the same way as the oysters, grilled with butter and garlic.
However the scallop was overdone and tough.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★I was quite impressed with this place, because all the grilled items did not have that oily smell or taste.
The only disadvantage are that the tables are too small.
