Upon meeting up with a local relative-in-law, our party of 4 had dinner here on a Sunday evening…read more The restaurant is located in the Tai Po Market neighborhood and is in the New Territories. Basically it is some distance away from Hong Kong proper but still easily accessible by MTR (mass transit rail) in about 35 minutes from Kowloon, and like for most metropolises, the cost of living (meaning rent) is lower.
We had a big delicious dinner, including 4 beers between us, and the total bill was just 885 HKD or $114 USD. In Hong Kong proper, this same dinner would have cost 25-30% more due just to rent. We had fish served in two styles, bean curd with vegetables, pigeon, and lamb stew in a hot pot. I and the relative-in-law had 4 Guinness stouts between us. The dishes were all excellent quality except that for whatever reason the two fish dishes were overly salty and all 3 of us out-of-towners agreed on that.
The restaurant is located inconspicuously on the second floor of a smallish mall building. When you walk through a hallway to enter the restaurant though, somehow you are all of the sudden in a huge, grand, well-lit, crowded, and boisterous dining room. They had a big tank of big live seafood at the entrance. The atmosphere was very energetic and festive and the locals love this place which tells you about the good values here. Of course, our local companion knew all about it. Great meal and outing, and I say 4.49 stars knocked back due to the saltiness of the two main fish dishes.
