Had a fun and yummy dinner last night. We use local app (Open Rice) and found this joint. I am…read moresurprised to see this on Yelp. Since I am here, I thought I would share with my peeps. I post a picture of its lobby as I would never be able to spot it without Google map. As we took the elevator up to the second floor, we could hear all the chatters before the door is opened. We were shocked once the door is opened. This place is vibing!! We didn't make a reservation at all. We got there around 8pm on a Thursday night. We were seated immediately. All the staff are super friendly and funny. We ordered a bunch of food and a few bottles of beers. What a fun night with great food! We will certainly come back when we are back to Hong Kong.

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.

They also called me a retard in Cantonese for putting my cash in a tin plate, which was supposed to be used for food. Okay it totally looks like it was for cash but I didn't know? Tsk tsk

One of the staples is always the cheung fun (rice rolls), lathered in soy sauce, peanut sauce and sweet sauce, with a sprinkle of sesame. Their stuffed "3 treasures" are good as well. That is another classic dish consisting of green bell pepper, eggplant and tofu, each stuffed with a generous amount of fish paste. It's a difficult dish to get right. If not floured well the fish paste will not stick to the vegetables, and the veggies can get overly soggy due to the deep frying. But not here! They are generous with the amount of fish paste, and the vegetables were fried to decent crispiness. This is food that seems like they should be everywhere but is slowly getting replaced by trendy foods. It's also very difficult to get decent versions of these outside of Hong Kong. I highly recommend just stopping by and trying a few things as breakfast or afternoon snack.

I took a gander and noticed how fast they are churning their buns and how cheap the prices were so I thought I'd try them out. I tried their pork cabbage bun which was very good. The bun was nice and hot and fluffy and the pork cabbage filling was flavored very well. I almost wanted to get another one. I also tried their dessert bun which was good as well Definitely will come here again if I need a small bite to fill myself up any time during the day! The one I went to is just outside the paid areas of the subway station.
