Boyfriend and I were in the Quarry Bay area to check out an art gallery and stopped here for a quick bite.Cute? Yeah. Just me being silly with the camera.This place is your typical roast meat shop. They do take away only and have very inexpensive lunch boxes. So we both ordered a box and took it to a nearby area for a little picnic. But what stopped us was they also seemed to sell eggettes and other take away snack items like curry fish balls and siu mai.Soysauce Marinated Chicken with Siu Yuk (

This place is your typical roast meat shop. They do take away only and have very inexpensive lunch boxes. So we both ordered a box and took it to a nearby area for a little picnic. But what stopped us was they also seemed to sell eggettes and other take away snack items like curry fish balls and siu mai.
Soysauce Marinated Chicken with Siu Yuk ($32). The chicken was pretty good. Moist and nicely flavored from the marinade. The siu yuk was not so good. Wasn't flavored enough and the the skin was soggy and chewy. The rice was soggy and not that good. Extra sauce was asked for but there really wasn't much of it. The amount of sauce looked like the one where no extra sauce was asked for. I am wondering if they forgot or they didn't hear?
Roast Duck with Char Siu ($32). This was much better. The duck was moist and wasn't overly fatty. The char siu had no fat hanging out of it but yet it wasn't dry. It tasted pretty good, too. I must be eating at Happy Valley's roast meat place too much but for $32, this is quite cheap. Both boxes came with a free drink box. Man...that is cheap. I have definitely been eating in Happy Valley way too long.
Fish and Pork Siu Mai ($9). While waiting for our lunch to be made, boyfriend ordered a few siu mai. They had two types, fish and pork so he asked for a mix and they gave it to him. They were ok but the pork ones tasted better.
Oreoberry Eggettes ($22). While we were waiting for our food, I saw they had a variety of eggettes. The owner said it was something new they were trying out and said eggettes are the only thing that are served on weekends. The owner said they are trying out various flavors to see what is good and what is not. I couldn't help but order one and tried something called oreoberry. As they are made to order, I had to wait for my order.
The eggette itself was very crispy. Crispy to the point of being crunchy. I prefer my eggettes to be a bit more cakey in texture. The inside had some blueberries in it but not every eggette had one. The batter was mixed with Oreo cookie that was ok tasting. As they are trying out something new, this is obviously in beta mode so I hope there is continual room for improvement.
Interesting combos of both popular Hong Kong types of food: roast meat and eggettes. Perhaps they should start mixing the two and skip the rice and use the eggettes as a base for the roast duck? Service was friendly and seemed to be a very small neighbourhood business. Unsure if I'd return as I don't live in the area.
