Xin Dau Ji has been expanding its branches progressively across the territory. This one in North Point is the latest member. Like other branches, the reception area is very small leaving only a small alley where dozens of diners are stuffed in. A 30-minute waiting is not uncommon.
There are a few signature dishes for this restaurant chain including the roasted suckling pig, Chinese lettuce in sizzling hot pot, etc. However, the food quality varies among their outlets. From the 3 branches that I have visited, I would rank them in the order 1) Jordan 2) Causeway Bay and 3) North Point.
a) Deep Fried Spicy Cuttlefish with Salt and Pepper椒盐鲜鱿 ($88) – 7.5/10
The batter was fresh and the seasoning was spicy and delicious. However, the cuttlefish was a bit too slim.b) Pan-fried Egg Noodle with Bean Sprouts in Soya Sauce豉油皇银芽炒面 ($68) – 7.5/10
The fried noodle was not too oily and with good smell of soya sauce.
c) Steamed Chicken in Lotus Leaf荷香蒸滑鸡 ($88) – 8/10
Chicken pieces sitting on a fresh lotus leaf absorbed the flavour of the leaf. Good to go with the rice.d) Fresh Rock Oysters with Ginger & Green Onion in Hot Pot姜葱美国桶蚝煲 ($168) – 8.5/10
Although there were only 5 or 6 pieces of oyster in the pot, they were quite large and the rims were quite crispy. With a splash of Chinese wine, the oysters were very tasty.e) Omelet with Young Oysters and Pickle 菜甫蚝仔煎蛋 ($68) – 7.5/10
This was a traditional Chiuchow潮洲 dish, however, it looked quite pale and lacked the caramelized effect on the omelet.f) Braised Assorted Vegetables in Hot Pot南乳粗斋煲 ($78) – 7.5/10
Apart from vegetables, dried soy sheets and rice vermicelli were also used to cooked with red fermented bean curd 南乳. The flavour could be more intense.g) “JuJu” Style Garden Vegetable in Hot Pot 啫啫唐生菜煲 ($63) – 5/10
signature dish
This signature dish was very disappointing. The “JuJu” style was the term in describing the sizzling sound of the food cooking inside the pot. The beauty of the dish was to maintain the crispiness of the Chinese lettuce the punching smell of the preserved shrimp paste. For the pot we had that night, the lettuce was way overcooked that the pot was watery and lacked of the flavour that it should have.h) House Special Roasted Suckling Pig 即烧乳猪 ($338 for half) – 8.5/10
There was a display window near the entrance of the restaurant where you could see the chef in roasting the pig above a stove. The skin of the piglet was crispy and without much fat. i) Deep Fried Ribs with Preserved Shrimp Paste 大澳虾酱骨 ($98) – 8.5/10
The ribs were large and with lots of meat, very tangy and not dry. 03.2013
