Operating for over 40 years, this Chinese restaurants and an ex-night club with live performances of local singers will soon be closed down due to demolishing of the whole building.
Before moving to its new location in Wanchai, the restaurant was packed with loyal and new customers for “worshipping” and recalling the fond old memories. The food quality was average in general, I look forward to some improvement after their relocation to Wanchai in August.
a) Giant Grouper Cooked in 2 Ways 花尾龙趸两味 ($596) – 8/10 The first dish was deep fried giant grouper. The batter was crispy and non-greasy, and the fillets were sinewy. The second dish was steamed giant grouper bones. Still with a lot of flesh on the bones, the fish skin was sturdy too. The dried mandarin orange peel and ginger slices enhanced the flavour of the fish.
b) Pan-fried King Prawns with Soya Sauce 豉油王煎虾 ($480) – 7.8/10 The king prawns were first deep fried before frying with soya sauce, thus the prawn was a bit overcooked and dried despite the aroma of the soya sauce.
c) Sautéed Oyster with Red Wine and Onion in Clay Pot 红酒洋葱焗生蚝 ($333) – 8/10 A good balance of maintaining a crispy skirt and soft belly of the oysters. With abundant of onion, the sauce was delicious to go with rice.
d) Signature Roasted Pig 喜万年即烧猪 ($700) – 8/10 This is the signature dish of the restaurants. Not only in particular the pair of flashing eyes that used to be used in traditional Chinese banquets for wedding and birthdays, their hand-roasted piglet was delicious. Moderate crispiness and fatness, just that the pancake was quite rough and with uneven thickness.
e) Deep Fried Squid炸鲜鱿 ($88) – 7/10 The disk was quite disappointed in terms of portion and cut size of the squid. I just had a feeling that half of the original dish was eaten by someone, leaving tiny pieces on the plate. The batter was too soft and failed to create the crispy coating.
f) Tofu with Dried Shrimp Roe and Veggie虾籽锅塌豆腐 ($78) – 7/10 The tofu was too soggy with the thick and tasteless sauce, shrimp roes were scarcely found.
g) Sautéed Kale清炒芥兰 ($156 for 2 portions) – 7.5/10, Stir Fried Chinese Lettuce in Sizzling Clay Pot 啫啫唐生菜 ($78) – 7/10 Paying $150+ for sautéed plain kale would be a ripped off. The Chinese lettuce in sizzling clay pot was not exciting too. Very oily for both dishes.
