Speaking of typical Hong Kong snacks what comes into your mind?…read moreFish balls (魚蛋), shiumai (燒賣) and rolled up rice pastry (腸粉) sure top my list. Popular as they are, it is often difficult to find these of high quality; you know, these are not meant to be expensive delicacies and often qualities are sacrificed for lowering the costs. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying this place sells them at a high price for a "more desirable" quality; rather, I applaud them for their low price without sacrificing the quality of the food. Let me not ruin your excitement on how low the price of the food can get but I shall share with you my thoughts regarding the food: Fish balls - some like them bouncy and chewy, I like them less so. Drenched in a hot broth, you can have it spicy or mild; slightly softer than those you would expect from hotpot, the fish balls have the texture of elastic ball of fresh mozzarella with a hint of dried orange zest; served best with a touch of hoisin sauce. Shiumai - not one of those pricy dimsum you would expect from a yumcha place, no shrimp, no mushroom yet they are just comforting, reassuring really to have fish shiumai with soy sauce and hot chili oil. Soft bellied with a flavorsome coating, yum. Rolled up rice pastry, or as people call them in Hong Kong, "Cheung Fun" - it is interesting how a bland sheet of steamed rice pastry could turn into a delicacy. Smooth, silky sheets of rice pastry rolled up into a slender cylinder, the fun part is the combination of sauces: typically drenched in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame paste topped with a sprinkling of toasted sesame. This flavor base also goes amazingly well with the fish balls and shiumai you ordered to give a cohesive taste experience. Dine in standing or take away in a plastic bag, a speedy solution to an empty stomach or a mouth that craves for snacks.

The name of the restaurant is simple... but the dishes they offer are way more than just pad…read morethai... and maybe because their location is a bit far from city centre, their price is cheaper than what you get in other areas... Again, good restaurants always have to queue... But this restaurant has 2 stories, and if you don't mind sharing a table with others, you could be seated in no time... Their pad thai is good (after all their name is based of this lol)... and I love their yellow curry... The shrimps used in salad is fresh... and their longan drink was sweet enough for me... Apparently I ordered too much for 2 people and have to pack some of them home...

You could choose the fillings as you want... which ranges from $5-10 each... and my choice was my all-time favourite combination: Cheese, Mushroon and Egg... The satisfaction after the first bite is hard to describe... Oh well... Though I guess the calories come back :P

Tai Wo is about an hour away (one way) from where I live but the distance has not stopped me from…read morereturning again and again. (冇10次都有8,9次) I have literally tried everything on their menu and I can vouch that they have improved a lot over time (e.g. the dishes, service, etc.). When I first visited them in November 2013, I thought the clams were good but a bit salty. Now, they are just good. It sounds a bit clique but the butterfly clams definitely had me at hello. I always asked if the butterfly clams are available and if I can reserve them when I make my reservations these days. I really love seeing how their business prospered and I wish the best for them. Perhaps they can finally afford to open a bigger shop closer to town :)
