Fried dough stick was decent though not fresh & a bit doughy as per Hong Kong style. Shacha noodles was slightly spicy with an intriguing taste from the Shacha sauce in the pretty rich broth.

I also ordered an iced milk tea - this was very delicious - 10/10.

Tucked in Pacific Place, it's a clean, contemporary look for a restaurant. We got pad thai which is almost a staple for an order, for the child. Red curry and crispy fried tofu for the hubster and I. I tell you, everything tasted profound. Elevated flavours, I'm salivating now as I write this post, re-imagining my meal. The child got a mango smoothie, and we got their speciality cocktails, that had equally snazzy presentations. Sanctuary of Truth was rum, Pimms, apple and passion fruit juices, with lime and vanilla. Siam Myth was vodka with pineapple juice. The chilli flavour didn't come through and for some reason, it tasted a tad bitter. A luscious, rich, creamy and supremely flavourful red curry with fried tofu and pumpkins. Crisp to perfection with a nice touch of garlic, chillies and basil, the tofu fry. The textures of those two different styles of tofu were great - the fried ones in the stir fry were clean and CRISP. The fried ones in the curry were soft and tender inside, with a chewy exterior, in a good way. I can't begin to tell how many times the fried tofu is messed up with it becoming a bit less palatable and a lot more chewy (not in a good way). The pad thai was a win too, simple, chewy, well balanced with the sweet-sour-salt. The usual garnish of sprouts and peanuts on the side. They have a separate vegetarian menu which means big groups can order galore, and you can try it all. You must. I would've loved to! More photos and deets on my blog - thevegetarianvoyager dot com

Pan Fried buns - not much juice inside at all. salted pork and steamed cabbage - the salted pork tasted like prosciutto and the steamed cabbage helps balance out the flavor Overall, I really liked this restaurant.

Temple Street…read more(https://www.yelp.com/biz/廟街夜市-香港) being the most lively of the bunch brings in crowds aplenty, and as a result places like Temple Spice Crabs are busy night in and night out. One's mileage will certainly vary here because its a tad too small and a little (perhaps a LOT) too touristy. Above all, the food is subpar at best. The positives are obvious, the place has quite a few tubs of fresh seafood on display and the faux dai pai dong feel that is designed to attract onlookers from the street. To match the curiosity with the demand, they have an entire team of individuals that are out recruiting people to come check out the restaurant. No ordinary place would be able to hire and keep a staff that engaged without some merit of success. So as a result, my local friends and I came with some initial hesitation but ignored the fact the largely expat was all up in the crabs and rice dishes. We ordered a smattering of recommendations from the staff: Mantis Shrimp (攋尿蝦), Crab Fried Noodle (螃蟹炒麵), Shrimp with Egg (蝦仁炒蛋), Salt Peppered Squid (椒鹽魷魚), Jellyfish Salad (涼拌海蜇), and a Yeung Chow Fried Rice (揚州炒飯). It was all a little salty (yet the squid wasn't salty enough) but largely bland. Considering the markup on the food, it was disappointing. It is a cash only place and they provide napkins (this is huge!). Expect to buy water or beer, I'm not sure if they allow for BYOB at all. Unless one is desperate for food and unwilling to travel, it should always be emphasized that there are better establishments and food alternatives all around the night market.

That's good enough visual for me to wander into this restaurant specializing in jook (congee). The beef jook was very tasty and filling. The beef chunks were thin and tender, and the jook consistency was smooth and thick. It's not the ideal breakfast for a warm and humid October morning, but the fresh cold soy milk was mildly sweet and refreshing to help balance the temperature. On the side, I had the rice noodle-wrapped fried doughnut. Drizzled with a bit of soy sauce, it was a little on the salty side. However, the rice noodle had good texture (not too sticky or chewy) and the fried doughnut was chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Overall everything tasted very fresh and delicious! This shop may be small, but service was quick and friendly. Despite a line, you'll be seated within a few minutes. This is a great place in Mong Kok for a satisfying meal for under $40 HKD.

My local friend brought me here while we were in the Mongkok area and this is just a little mom and pop shop on the street. I had the sliced pork jook and it was really nice on the palate, not overly salty as some places would make it. The taste of the pork was clean and flavorful and came through instead of being hidden by white pepper and salt. The fried donut wrapped in rice noodle was among one of the best that I've ever had. The donut was lightly crispy with a chewy center. The rice noodle was warm and embraced the donut. The sweet soy sauce soaked in nicely and made every bite super tasty and savory.

As with previous review I read (the only one about this restaurant on Yelp), this place is a bit…read moreold school and dated in feel. It is on the second floor of this plaza (take the escalators up one floor). Cheesy pink curtain, tired soft goods (i.e. carpet, chairs, table linens), dated decor in many ways. It does not detract though from the good meal we found at Ho Choi Seafood Restaurant. MAKE NOTE: MENU IS ENTIRELY IN CHINESE! As such, be sure to go to this place with your Chinese speaking family or friends. Place is casual (we were in shorts and t-shirts, but others were more dressed up) and was not busy at 6pm on a Monday, but was clearly busy at 7:30pm when we were leaving. Staff was not overly friendly, but not unfriendly, so we were indifferent to this. We thought the meal was good and reasonably priced compared to other close by. We had chicken, bok choy veggies and fish. Clearly with their large tanks of fish and abundant options on menu, they are proud and known for their fish. We had a fish that tasted like halibut and was really quite tasty. It was at a special price that night and we took advantage of the special. With a diet coke, our bill was $300 HKD out the door. They did have the sweetest oranges provided to us compliments of the house after we paid our bill. Sounds funny to say the free orange was tasty, but it was! This place is in our hood, so we will be back.

The shrimp was peppered very well, it made me want seconds even though i'm not a seafood fan. The chicken was also pretty tender For dessert, we got the green bean dessert along with a deep fried sugary twist that was similar to a donut but harder. Overall, a great place to have dinner if you have a big family to feed.

Firstly, I want to call out the amazing service here. I was sitting outside but there is indoor seating and an upstairs. A boy came here with crutches and his table was upstairs. unfortunately they don't have an elevator but the host offered to piggy back him up which I thought was amazing. The host also kept giving people a heads up whenever the nearby lot had a cop giving out parking tickets. You can just tell that the staff was very customer first by the type of personal and unconventional service they provided which I, myself have never seen anywhere else before (literally in the world). Location wise, it's right on the water front on sai Kung, so the view is quite pleasant while you're enjoying your meal. After you order your dishes, you can go over to the giant fish tanks to pick out the fresh and live seafood. Literally every dish I had was absolutely amazing in flavor and super fresh. There's a few other Michelin Star rated seafood restaurants within walking distance but I've been told that the flavors here are unparalleled to. Here are some of the things we ordered in no particular order and hopefully somewhat correct names: Fish soup (5/5): surprisingly my favorite most memorable dish. Strong flavors without being overwhelming Fried squid cake (3.5/5): not as special as other items but great texture, crispy on the outside, similar to a deep fried fish ball Geoduck sashimi (5/5): super fresh ! Fried tofu (4.5/5): on the house and probably one of the best fried tofu I ever had. Crispy on the outside and the softest tofu ever inside. Fried abalone (4/5): great deep fried flavor. My only complaint was it was a little chewy but that might also be the natural texture of abalone Fried bigass shrimp whose English name I don't know but directly translated to "pee itself shrimp" (5/5): one of my top dishes, as large as a lobster. Tasted like lobster, deep fried flavor to perfection, but difficult to remove the shell from *update: mantis shrimp is the name* Uni fried rice (4/5): fried rice was cooked to perfection but I had to knock off a star just because it didn't really capture the uni flavor Crispy chicken (5/5): full of meat and flavor was on point, I was amazing at how they were able to make the skin on chicken so crispy as if it was Peking duck Red striped crab cooked in egg white (4/5): a little bland for my liking but the crab meat resembled the middle ground of king crab and singleness crab. Very simple flavors for those who like that Stir fried surf clams in black bean sauce (4/5): good flavor, cooked perfectly, but very similar to regular stir fried clam I would totally come back again on my next visit to Hong Kong! It's a shame that it is a bit of a journey and the best way there is if you know someone with a car, but worth it!
