To me, I really prefer having Chinese food during CNY period. After a very fun night spending time playing MJ with friends, we have stopped by this local HK style restaurant for a feast for the king. We have started with a bowl of daily soup which is "Winter Melon with Pork Tender Soup" . It's hot and not too salty. I also like that there is no / very little MSG because I can clearly feel it on my tongue that there is no tingling feeling. The pork tender is super soft and it's quite surprising t
We have started with a bowl of daily soup which is "Winter Melon with Pork Tender Soup" . It's hot and not too salty. I also like that there is no / very little MSG because I can clearly feel it on my tongue that there is no tingling feeling. The pork tender is super soft and it's quite surprising that each bowl of soup comes with a big piece of meat!
Deep fried potato cake and chicken wingsThen we have a deep fried snack platter. The potato cake is pretty surprising because it's decently creamy and crispy on the outside. Although they are probably frozen but they do choose good ones. The wings are crispy and nicely seasoned also.
4 Treasure RiceIt's been a while! Salted duck egg and red sausages are the staples of 4 Treasure Rice. For the other 2 Treasure, we got "assigned" randomly with roasted BBQ pork and roasted duck meat. The amount of rice is very generous and it is sprinkled with some light soya sauce.
I am not a big fan of red sausages and I have only tried the other meat. The duck meat is lean with almost half and half fatty skin and meat ratio, it's always nice to enjoy it with some of those sweet plum sauce on the side. The sweet and savoury taste complimented nicely with the strong flavour from the duck. I wish I can get more meat out of it though!
The BBQ pork (char siu) has a mix of lean and semi-fatty type. The smokey taste is strong and it is nicer once it gets warmed up by the rice. I particularly liked the fattier ones because the lean ones can be a bit chewy.Overall, it's still a very hearty plate of true Hong Kong comfort food here. The salted duck egg really lifted the flavour of the BBQ meat.
Lava French ToastFrench toast is definitely one of the best kind of Cha Chaan Tan style food to treat yourself. Rather than the classic peanut better french toast with syrup, the restaurant makes it a lava version with a super doper runny custardy centre. The deep fried toast is covered in egg and stuffed with a lot of runny rich egg yolk like.
Once cutting into it, the filling just oozes out immediately. The filling is similar to those ones in lava custard buns which is absolutely delicious. It's sweet but not too sweet. It's rich but you can easily share this among 2 people. I still like the old style but I think this modern twist has bring this traditional snack into the next level!
Lastly, we also ordered a dessert which is a grind walnut almond sweet soup. It's quite sweet when compared to the french toast. It's somewhere between thick and runny and it has a very subtle nutty flavour.
Milk with eggI have heard of this drink for a long time and I think this might be my first trial. It's basically hot milk with a raw egg breaking into it. Then you will need to stir that raw egg into the milk, making it a light yellowish drink. It's amazingly enjoyable with a creamier texture. The taste is a bit like steamed egg with a stronger milky aroma. Give it a go if you can handle half cooked egg or if you like drinking milk.
Coke with salted lime and lemonThis is probably a drink for everyone because it's just coke with both salted lime and lemon at the same time. It's sweet and savoury, so it is delicious as you can imagine. A great drink to ease our appetite after a very comfort food to our heart.
It's a very classic HK style cha chaan tan but with some twists here and there. There are some very traditional food items like milky egg and BBQ roast meat, but there are also some innovative items like lava custardy crispy French toast. The seat is spacious and clean so give yourself some relaxing time feeding yourself with some very authentic HK style food.
