Although I’ve been in Hong Kong for nearly six months, I still feel like such an amateur restaurant hunter. I just can’t get my head around restaurants not being visible from the street and at eye level. So, lucky I was introduced to Haka YeYe by a local, otherwise I would never have found it.

Located on the second floor, when the elevator opens up the first thing you notice is the clean, fresh, modern interior and bright natural light coming from the windows facing Wyndham St.
I went for lunch with a colleague, and we had the set lunch. There were two set menu options to choose from, one for $72 +10%, and the other $90 + 10%. They are really great value. We both had the cheaper set, and for that price we had the option of soup or spring rolls for entrée, and a choice of three main courses plus rice for main. Dessert was also included. Now tell me that’s not a bargain!
We both had the soup to start with, which was really delicious. It was very light and I am told it was Chinese herbal soup. It had a light broth, which was white in colour and the soup had lean pieces of pork and some different Chinese ingredients that I don’t know the English names for (one was like a white yam, and the other was big pearls of barley). It really felt like a health soup. If I were in bed and sick at home, I would be very grateful for someone to bring me this.
For main course, we shared the “Chestnuts, pork ribs and chinese celery cooked in a claypot”, and “Pork mince and vegetables with vermicelli noodles”, which were served with two small bowls of mixed red and white rice. The pork ribs were so tender, the meat fell away from the bones and melted in my mouth. The gravy was flavoured mostly from the pork and also the celery and spring onions and was perfect with the rice. It was quite a hearty winter casserole. The noodles were okay, but nothing really to write home about.
Dessert was a choice of fresh melon, or sticky purple rice in soup, and we had one of each. Although the serving was small, the rice for me was a bit full on after such a hearty lunch. The fresh melon on the other hand was light and delicious.
The service provided by waiting staff was a bit haphazard, with tea being regularly refilled, but when we needed dessert and the bill there was no-one in sight. It will definitely be the setting and affordable lunch set that will bring me back to Haka YeYe. And also the fact that now I know of this hidden restaurant, hopefully one day I too will be able to show it off to someone who doesn’t know that the place to find restaurants in Hong Kong is actually above eye level.
