• Tasty and Filling

My fiancé and I stayed up the street from this restaurant while visiting Hong Kong from mainland China. The menu has English descriptions as well as Hanzi, as most of Hong Kong restaurants seem to have. The tables and chairs are tight here, and if you come as a single during their very busy lunch time, they may seat you with another single guest at a table. It didn’t seem that these people spoke to each other, they were just seated together. This was new for both my fiancé and myself, but both found it pretty cool! We always order dishes and split, so I chose the steamed “chicken,” which are chicken mushrooms (I have friends that forage for these in the US and I really wanted to try them) and my fiancé got salt and pepper fried tofu. I try to stay away from fried food and added oil, but these weren’t dripping the way Chinese noodles would be and had a nice crunchy coating, so we both indulged! Both items were excellent and we finished both plates! The only issue I had was that the staff wasn’t very friendly, but as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Western China, I am used to living in a community that is a bit fascinated by me as a foreigner, so I’m not sure if that tainted me and made me biased or not. It’s been a while since I’ve been in a large cosmopolitan city!
