VISIT ME @ MY NEW HOME! :-)

Chiu Chow style Lo-Shui Goose

Probably the best Chiu Chow style Lo-Shui Goose in town. Not only with great flavor, the goose meat was tender and juicy, came with a thin layer of fat underneath the skin. If you like Western style of grilled meat, which is more dry in texture, this traditional Lo-Shui may not be your cup of tea. But if you like classic Chinese style, you'll LOVE IT!

Lo-Shui is a traditional Chinese stock Marinade mixed by soya sauce and five spices. It is somewhat similar to the term braised yet different by far. Lo-Shui can be used to cook various types of food, eg. tofu, eggs, goose meat, goose liver, goose intestine, squid, and other things.

The restaurant is small, only had a few tables where you'll need to share table with strangers. There's always a queue at the door wait for seating during lunch and dinner hour. I've eaten here many times over the years, and great that they keep up with the consistency without dropping a bit. You can order an assorted plate to try out a bit of everything.

Goose Meat with Rice HK$35

New Century Soya Bean

Old Hong Kong flavour. Besides Soyabean Milk and Soya Pudding, I also love the Mochi（燸米稵） and Green-Bean Jelly Cake there.

Located in a small alley right next to the flyover. People queued up to buy dessert and soya drinks. You'll not miss it when you see the queue.

Soyabean Pudding with Red Beans. HK$5/cup.

Lovely & Big Round Mochi. Four flavour available: red bean, green bean, sasemi & custard. HK$10/4pcs. Indeed, mochi is not from Japan, although it's a very popular Japanese snack, it's originated from China.

Shatin Roasted Pigeon & Chicken Congee

This old restaurant is famous for Roasted Pigeon and Chicken Congee. A group of 8 people, we went there last night for a feast. We ordered a couple of signature dishes: Roasted Pigeon (燒乳鴿), Soya Sauce Pigeon (鼓油皇乳鴿), Chicken Congee (雞粥), Baked Fish Intestines with Eggs (焗魚腸), Spicy Spiral Shells (辣酒煮螺), and so on.

Re roasted pigeon, I prefer eating young baby pigeon. The pigeons here are big. Although they're meaty and juicy, but skin was not crispy enough. I did love the Soya Sauce Pigeon, the Soya Sauce had a mellow spices flavor and a unique fragrance.



Chicken Congee (top left) is the MUST-EAT signature here. I think they put beancurd in the congee, as it has a very nice fragrance and smooth texture. One bowl enough to feed 6-8 people.

Baked Fish Intestines (top right) was heavenly done. Fish Intestines were baked in traditional earthenware with eggs & fluffy dough sticks, very crispy on top. Eggs absorbed all the fatty taste of the intestines, yummy! This traiditonal old dish need lots of time to prepare, especially in cleaning the intestines. That's why no many restaurants make it these days.

The spicy spiral shells with wine was also a delight. Highly recommended.

The bill ended up each person approximately HK$60, super value-for-money!

What is Pho?
Pho is a traditional Vietnamese thinly sliced meat and rice-noodle soup dish. It normally served as a bowl of white rice noodles in clear beef broth, with thin cuts of beef (steak, fatty flank, lean flank, brisket). Variations featuring tendon, tripe, meatballs, chicken leg, chicken breast, or other chicken organs (heart, liver, tongue, etc.) are also available. It is garnished with fresh herbs such as green onions, white onions, coriander leaves, Thai basil, lemon or lime wedges, and bean sprouts. The herbs are usually provided on a separate plate, which allows customers to adjust the soup's flavor as they like. Fish sauce and hot sauce are popular additions as well.

Best Wanton (Prawn Dumplings) Noodle

Among the thousands of local dishes that remain deeply rooted in Hongkongers' daily life, some make it to international fame, and others stick to lowkey popularity, eaten in local circles.

Wanton (Prawn Dumplings) Noodles, is one of the nation's flavorful plate. With a maximum capacity of 48 seatings, this small noodle outlet is probably the best wanton noodle in Hong Kong.

The prices are unbelievable cheap even with Michelin recommendation: HK$16 for a bowl of soup noodles! The menu only have 3 choices. You can only choose between 1) Prawn Wanton Noodles; 2) Fishball Noodles; or 3) Beef Noodles. The wantons and fishballs are huge. Wantons are filled with a few big fresh prawns, and enveloped in a thin, translucent dumpling skin. Fishballs are flavor with dried Mandarin peel. And the egg noodles are fresh and springy, cooked perfectly al dente with an alkaline aftertaste. A little bit of venigar can reduce the alkaline taste. The Beef are not particularly good in taste though.

Be prepared to share table with strangers. It is definately NOT a romantic dinner place, as everyone just sat, ordered, ate and left within a span of minutes.

Many local gastronomes & gourmets doubt the Michelin judges ratings were fair. For example Yung Kee 鏞記 serves the best roasted goose in the world (Hong Kong has the best roasted goose in the world, while Yung Kee 鏞記 offers the best roasted goose in town.), should deserve at least 2 stars instead of 1 star.

What did the local gourmets say about "Michelin guide Hong Kong Macau 2009"?

李純恩: I will not follow this guide to eat. Western people do not understand the pith of Chinese cooking and food culture. They only appreciate restaurants in luxury hotels. Hongkongers no need to boarder.

劉健威: Michelin judges' standards are typical tourists' standards, which are very different from the locals. With a limited time tasting pre-selected restaurants from luxury locations. You are very safe at 5-star hotels, you don't normally find bad food there, however, also hard to get surprise. They should spend more time investigating and understanding Chinese food culture.

Chow Chung: Chinese have their own standard of good food. As you don't trust Chinese people's rating s and comments on Western food. This guide used a Western perspective to rate the restaurants, I doubt any local will follow their culinary map.
