Today is everyone's birthday in the Chinese calendar. Happy Birthday !!We chose one of our favourite restaurants for lunch.

We chose one of our favourite restaurants for lunch. Wu Kong in TST is an old favourite for those of us who live on HK side as it is an easy location to find. This chain of restaurants do not use MSG in the dishes. The HK restaurant moved from their Times Square location a few months ago to Lee Theatre Plaza. And this is our first visit to their new home.
The place looks more packed in terms of proximity of tables and there seem to be many more tables. The plus point is one side of the restaurant is glass windows with a good view of Causeway Bay below, so the place was bright.We ordered most of our old favourite dishes:
Smoked fish. They manage to keep the fish soft and there is no taste of soil that you find with this dish in other restaurants. This is my Dad's favourite dish
Ham blocks. My husband's always orders this dish. Here they are in delicate chunks and there is no thick layer of jelly or fat. The meat was quite finely chopped and the flavouring is well balanced
Wor Tips (Pot Stickers) and Fried buns. The wor tips went so quickly I didn't get a photot. There was juice inside the dumpling which is rare and very welcomed. I prefer the skin to be more brown and crispy though. The buns I found to be too soft. I like them with more bite and texture, the flour they used may be a bit too refined
Fish head and glass noodles in casserole. I am not keen on fish head but I had some glass noodles, mushrooms and pork. The sauce was tasty and instead of just serving the head, there was a big chunk of the rest of the fish too
I forget the name of the duck dish but it is deep fried boneless duck pieces eaten with steamed pancakes, cucumber, leeks and hoisin sauce, just as you would with Peking Duck. I love this dish. It makes me think of a KFC wrap
Chinese cabbage in pot soup had many different ingredients inside: river shrimps, bamboo shoot, cabbage, ham, egg dumplings, mushrooms. The soup was bland, so we had to ask for some salt. After adding salt, it was just right
Although we did not finish the dishes, we couldn't resist ordering Toffee Bananas. When they arrived, they looked wonderful. However, the inside had a big layer of soggy dough and the bananas were not ripe. So a huge disappointment. I had to separate the crispy toffee from the floury dough and just eat the toffee. Very messy
All in all, the restaurant almost kept up its usual standard. We had to wait 10 minutes for a table even though I had booked and we arrived on time. We were shown to a smaller table than we wanted. But no doubt these are teething problems which would all be sorted out in time.張貼
