Reservations are highly recommended as this place gets busy, especially during the weekend. There was actually some mixed up with our reservations but luckily, we came on a weekday when the restaurant is not as busy. There are a ton of choices from the soup base to the hot pot ingredients. Pick whatever you like but make sure you order some beef and fried bamboo (one of my friend named it the "jingle bells" - how fitting!). They are excellent here. Apparently, I only realized then that not all my friends liked lunch meat in their hot pot... If Shing Kee is a little close to where I live, I probably come here a lot more often. Unfortuately, it's all the way in Shatin.

On contrary to the previously introduced Sha Kok which is more popular amongst the dance community, Tai Yuen is the go to place for visually all CU student, not only is it more accessible (well... comparatively speaking) but it fits better into the traditional mindset of dai pai dong style dining. Shatin is famous of it's chicken congee, Tai Yuen being in Fo Tan, (which is also a part of the greater Shatin district) is also celebrating its chicken congee. Whenever dining in Tai Yuen, you will first be greeted with a hefty pot of chicken congee, if you are lucky, the pot might be free of charge and refillable. For the food choice, just as any sik siu places, "trashy" is the word, the mantra and the golden rule. Imagine an oyster omelet with the rim so puffy and crispy that could only achieved with the excess fat that the omelet is fried in; deep fried mouth part of squids with every morsel crunchy on the outside, chewy and succulent in the inside. How about "roasted" baby pigeons that is actually deep fried to crispy perfection? All of them are sinful but undoubtedly good; especially served alongside with a bottle of ice cold beer, that is how most university students get wasted for the very first time.

I had intended to visit here when I stayed in 2024, but wasn't able to. I was finally able to on my final day of my Asia trip, before taking the bus to the airport. I liked the interior design of this place, with lots of resemblance of HK street life, as well as a MTR-like map that mixes actual Tuen Ma Line stations with popular HK style cafe items. I had the satay beef instant noodles with scrambled egg and toast. It was good! The satay had a flavourful taste, and the scrambled egg was exactly how it should be: layered and relatively smooth. Service was efficient here. I definitely prefer this place over the two HK style cafes down the road closer to the hotel.

Our group divided across the restaurant for a solid thirty minutes so we could hawk around and scout for a table. The fans distributed across the location made the weather bearable. Plastic chairs, clear plastic table cloth. Definitely wash your dishes once more just to play it safe - Timing: because of the sheer popularity of this place, I was already full by the time they started bringing our 4th and 5th dishes as it took about 30+ minutes for it to come out. I had already filled up on the first 3. Don't be surprised if you have to wait 45+ min for a table on busy weekend evenings.

I have to say that the last time I ordered from Pizza Box was when I was still studying at CUHK. As…read moresome of you may have known, I lived in the farthest hostel in the entire campus - International House. Going out for dinner and coming back can take quite a while and too much of a hassle. Therefore, my roommate and I often ordered from Pizza Box. Why Pizza Box but not Pizza H*t? First off, Pizza Box does not offer crazy choices, instead, they have my favorite - meat lovers; second, Pizza H*t does not deliver to secluded places like ours; third, it is much cheaper, and it has buy one get one free promotion. (Fun fact - I tried calling in Cantonese and the staff said they do not have that promotion; so try English if you want this - not sure if it still happens though) So around HKD$150 can get you 2 huge boxes of pizza in less than an hour. Where else can you find that? The delivery normally does not take too long and the food is super hot when they get served. The crust is crispy with melted cheese all covering the slices. You may try to order online but I prefer calling in person. Though I do not see myself a computer idiot, its online system fails me still - and I do not see the promotion online unfortunately. Therefore, give them a call, which is definitely much faster and more convenient. There are so many stores around Hong Kong and I can guarantee you they do delivery everywhere.

There is of course, the million dollar question of which is better: Pizza Hut or Pizza Box? Some would say Pizza Hut does a better all-round and that their pizzas are more interesting. Then you have the school of Pizza Box where the pizzas are done properly and to be honest nothing else much matters. For me- the Pizza is the main thing in the meal and I don't care if the pasta is a bit soggy and the soup tastes like PVA. You are ordering a pizza after all so that's what should be done properly. Pizza Box's menu has a traditional list of pizzas- nothing too fancy but enough to keep a pizza buff like me happy. I am not a fan of the pizza hut take on dumping every single known ingredient to mankind on the pizzas. The are 3 choices for the crust and I think that's the proper way of doing things- none of that nonsense with cheese and everything else. They deliver or you could choose to pick up a pizza from their shop; doing it the latter way would usually mean a 40% off or a concession to a similar degree. I always choose to go pick it up as its cheaper and quicker. Their service has always been top notch and I really cannot A Manhattan would do me quite well at this time- thank you very much.

The decor suggests one thing, the food suggests another, and ordering suggests yet another. For example, it's a bit odd that you have to go to the cash register and order/pay. This element takes away from the experience and kind of gives the place a fast food vibe. This would be better with service. The food we had was pretty good with one exception. The Korean style chicken was really nothing more than fried chicken pieces with a spicy-ish/quasi Korean sauce poured over it. The specialty drinks were also very good. I look forward to going back to this place, and I will likely upgrade my rating. It certainly falls somewhere between 3 and 4 on our scale.
