This place (or rather, its predecessor) had been established more than 100 years ago. I think the brand name has become part of HK. Although the place may look a bit run down, the food they serve is really of high quality. The taste really brought back a lot of nice memories from my days of youth This place is definitely worth visiting every once in a while, not only for the food but also for the nice nostagic feel ... ... We had dinner with my parents (total 4 of us) on Sunday night. The place
We had dinner with my parents (total 4 of us) on Sunday night. The place was already fully packed when we arrived at ~6:45pm. Fortunately we booked a table in advance.
We ordered:
1) Ox tail soup - very thick and full of substance and flavor. Came with traditional soft buns with butter. Really nice !
2) Smoked Promfret - although the size might be a bit small, the taste certainly was not ! The fish was nicely smoked and yet retained its soft and tender texture. Also came with a side salad (potato and vegetables). Very good indeed !
3) Ox tongue - again, one of the signature dishes. The first thing that struck us was the big size of those ox-tongues ! Very nicely done - really tender, juicy and just a hint of salt with no other additives as far as I could tell. Awesome !
4) Portuguese chicken rice - this must be a misnomner (or a local invention ) as I don't think there is such a dish in traditional Portuguese cuisine Nonetheless, the taste was just great. The whole dish was baked and was steaming hot when arrived. Chicken meat was very tender and the coconut sauce was perfect - we ended up finishing the whole dish of rice without any difficulty at all.
5) Roast pigeon - again, a signature dish and a must-order item. The quality of the pigeon was comparable to other places like Fung Lum. The special "swiss" sauce that went with the pigeon, as well as the liver, kidneys and heart, were absolutely delicious !
6) Finally, any meal at Tai Ping Koon would not be considered complete with a try of their signature baked souffle. The souffle was really huge in size (like a basketball !)but surprisingly it was not heavy to take at all. Very nice and another must-order item !!
Service was efficient and polite in or opinion. We will definitely be back again.
