It's a traditional Chinese restaurant, functional rather than luxurious. Nevertheless, it was bright and welcoming. A platter of gong fu cha arrived the minute we sat down to lubricate the palate and get us ready for a feast. Service was quick and efficient. Their cold fish is one of the best in town, and the black mullet that we ordered did not not disappoint. It was perfectly fresh and cooked. The soya bean sauce that was supplied to dip in was perfect. The Teochew braised goose was as perfect as I recall from the first time I've been here. Succulent, tender, tasty and not too salty. Perfect flavor with umami. One thing new that we tried was the oyster omelet. Again, another perfect Teochew speciality that this place serves. As a vege, we ordered my usual stir fried long beans, and this did not disappoint. Lots of umami with when stir-fried with "oh nam chye" (not sure what it's called in English, but the Teochew translates to black olive vegetable) and minced pork. We were given copious rounds of gong fu cha everytime we asked. Despite being stuffed, the server suggested desert when she delivered the last round of tea, and we couldn't resist. The yam paste with ginko nut could have been a bit smoother, but it worked well to finish off the meal. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!!

Friend of ours invited us to have dinner at this traditional Chiu Chow style restaurant. Located in…read moreKowloon City, where a lot of Chiu Chow, Thai, and Indian restaurants are located, and as I know a few of them are very famous too! Since we had no idea which one of these Chiu Chow places are good, our friend's recommendation will be for us to try and see! The interior is a throw back to the late 60's 70's decor, very clean and neat, with bright lights and also booth seatings. Soon as you sit down, the cold appetizers are already there for your enjoyment; fried fish, pickled mustard greens, peanuts, and a few other goodies, they will also offer you traditional Chiu Chow tea. Menu items are all on the wall, and if you want other daily specials, just go to the front counter and check out all the fresh seafood and prepared dishes! Outstanding items: Friend Cuttle Fish Puree: wrapped in tofu skin, so crispy outside and the cuttle fish puree has the most perfect texture and flavour! It comes with a special dipping sauce, I will for sure order this item when I come here again! It's a perfect item to go with ice cold beer! Sliced Chicken with Szechuen Peppercorn: Succulent slices of boneless chicken fried to perfection and then tossed in a peppery sauce! The fried green leaves give the dish the authentic flavour! Street parking is available, my suggestion is not to go during weekends, it will be a nightmare if you try to find a parking spot, and even that, the place will already be packed! P.S. They were nice enough not charging us corkage!

As part of my review on Chiuchow restaurants, this one is probably the one with a bit of a twist…read more A) the other two are restaurants with an indoor area, ACs to keep you cool with bearable small wooden chairs for you to sit, b) the other two are not exposed to the elements so you could still enjoy yourself if it rains and c) you won't have people gawking at what you are eating. Ming Kee is situated bang on in the middle of Tsuen Wan, just a block from the Lo Tak Court carpark. Its central location means that the shop itself is actually tiny, but the shop "area" is everywhere you see outside the shop- come 7 pm or so every evening you will see tables being turned out and little plastic chairs being wiped down (i say wipe but just don't wear your sunday best when you go there). The tables are lined every where hence you will find yourself eating right next to people doing some window shopping or just walking by. The food is a bit of a mix- I would say that the Chiuchow food is more of "something it does" rather than it is known for; the "siu chao" (wok fried items) are the masterpiece around here. The added bonus of all this is that beer is served here and to wash down the food with a cool Skol or Tsing Tao is one of life's better experiences. Yes you will get people looking at you eat and your dining experience will depend heavily on the weather on the day. Still, this continues to qualify my maxim- which is that the grubbier it is; the better!

We decided on Kai Kee Noodles, and I'm glad we did. When we arrived shortly before midnight. They were open. There was no wait. And, best of all, the food came quickly after we ordered.

My noodles were thin and bouncy, and the chili pork wasn't spicy as I was expecting, but that was okay, it still hit the spot for a midnight snack after our 15-hour transpacific flight.

It's a family run business, one shop belongs to the husband, the other to his wife, the third to his mistress. Many of the staff are relatives in the first and second generation. The setting of the restaurants is simple and rustic. Time definitely stood still here, has a look from the sixties or seventies. Even the thick water glasses remind you of that. It fits this place totally, makes a cosy and relaxing atmosphere. Service is extremely good! They are attentive, knowledgeable and very friendly which you may not expect from the setting of the restaurant. Drink beer or order some Chinese wine from the limited drinks list. Or bring your own wines or whiskeys, there's no corkage. The Chiu Chow food served here is classic and simple but at it's best! The marinated meats are tender, juicy and delicious. Go for the steamed cold crab! It may be pricey but it's steamed to perfection and very fresh. Same goes for the giant conch which really is a delicacy. This size is extremely hard to find and here it's done to perfection. Imho this is the best Chiu Chow restaurant in Hong Kong.

Growing up in Hong Kong, whenever my family needed to take guests out to dinner, or when we have…read morerelatives visiting, my father would always go to this one restaurant called Cariana. It serves Chiu Chow food, also known as, Teo Chew food. This type of cuisine is ALL OVER Hong Kong. Growing up, I didn't understand why my father would always pick this restaurant. As a kid all you want to eat is McDonalds or pasta! However, I now understand. Hong Kong simply has AMAZING chiu chow food. My appreciation has grown for it tremendously. Today I'm not going to write about Cariana. I will write about Sheung Hing. It is my absolute favourite Chiu Chow Restaurant. If you you want to know how good it is, They have 3 stores side by side on the same street. If you want good, authentic Chiu Chow food, don't waste your time, go to Sheung Hing. Must Order: Pan Fried Noodles- They are fired on both sides and it is super crispy. It is cut into squares and then you pour sugar and vinegar on it. This is a Chiu Chow Staple. Cold Crab- AMAZING but pricey, but AMAZING. Duck Wing- I order this EVERY TIME. I have not yet failed to not order this. It is my fav, it is good to chew and bite on and it is a staple in Chiu Chow Food. Sharks Fin: Again, Amazing but pricey. Omelette Fried Egg- Its delicious, try it. Just do me a favour and try this restaurant and order what I suggested or ask for the most popular dishes. He/She will probably tell you all the ones I mentioned above. You will not be disappointed =)
