I didn't know of this place until I moved recently to a nearby area. this unassuming little shop…read morewhich opens onto a back street in Tai Wai, serves what I could only be describe as the best Rice Roll (Cheung fun) in town. Now i know this item is available in many Chinese restaurants as s dim sum item, but there are a couple of qualities of this place which adds to the high praise.
Rice Rolls is steamed rice paste, effectively, and the standard for whether it is a nicely made depends on how smooth it is. Rice roll is supposed to be soft, smooth and evenly distributed (i.e. not in lumps). This place does Cheung Fun right- they also do it the old was where rice rolls are made in long strips and depending on how much you want they cut bits out for you into a little sections. This has always been a breakfast favourite and with some soy sauce, sweet sauce (hoisin sauce), chilli sauce this makes it a breakfast that you will have for a long time to come.
Aside from the Cheung Fun, they also serve siu mai (fish maw dumpling), fake fin soup and freshly made soya milk. I can attest that these are all very nice as well.
Drawbacks? Well you better ask for take away because the shop itself seats around 8 at most and in the summer its unbearably hot because there is no A/C. You also sit by the side of the road and being half exposed to the elements is not a nice feeling.
