My guests wanted a dinner of typical HK seafood and I thought this restaurant would not disappoint. We arrived early as 2 of them had to catch a late flight back to London and Sydney. The place was quiet when we arrived before 7. There were too many dishes I wanted to have but there were only 5 of us and 4 ladies among the 5. We settled for fish, prawn, crab, noodles, veg and veg with scallopsCrab was of course Typhoon Shelter Crab which is a specialty of HK. This restaurants serves it really ni
Crab was of course Typhoon Shelter Crab which is a specialty of HK. This restaurants serves it really nicely, the garlic and chili does not cover the sweet taste of the crab and the crab was not dry after frying. This was $360
The waiter suggested soy sauce prawns as he saw 3 Westerners among us, he said they will love it. It arrived late and they said they were full but loved it after trying
I asked for an inexpensive steam fish and they offered a garoupa for $200. It was fresh and soft even though not one of the famous types of garoupa. We had it with rice and was happy with it
Kai Lan with Chinese sausage and dried meat was really fragrant when it arrived. I could smell the Chinese wine mixed with ginger, they didn't like the meat but I did. My London colleague said kai lan is one of her favourite vegetables
Fried scallops with broccoli, a typical Gweilo dish. I tried one piece of scallop and it was fried till golden and full of wok hei.
Soy sauce fried noodles. A sure win and it was although not as nice as the same dish at Manor House
All the portions were quite big and every dish had its fans. By the time we left at 8:30p.m, the place was packed and getting a bit noisy but the guests liked the local energetic atmosphere. It was a really successful evening and a really good place to bring out of town guests.
