It was a cold evening and we wanted to have hotpot for dinner. We were trying our luck to see if they have tables because we didn't make any reservation in advance. Lucky us, the restaurant wasn't really full that day and we gotten a table without waiting. Ordered for their signature broth (comes with some pork trotter, chicken feet, green veges, corn, tomatoes, etc in it) and some hotpot dishes to go with it:-3 "combo balls" which consists of prawn balls, cuttlefish balls, and pork balls - goo
Ordered for their signature broth (comes with some pork trotter, chicken feet, green veges, corn, tomatoes, etc in it) and some hotpot dishes to go with it:
-3 "combo balls" which consists of prawn balls, cuttlefish balls, and pork balls - good, nothing special to be mentioned;
- Fried and rolled bean curd skin - very good, love it. Crispy to be taken straight away, or can be dipped into the soup for 1-2 seconds to get a mixture of soft and crispy texture, ;
- Fresh prawns - very fresh, prawns were still moving (a little) when being served;
- Bean curd skin with fish paste - ok, nothing special to be mentioned;
- Pork stomach - ok, nothing special to be mentioned;
- Baby cabbages - ok, nothing special to be mentioned.
Overall, the environment and service are much better compared to most hotpot places in Hong Kong - may be that is why the price is much more expensive? Food wise, pretty good, they emphasis on fresh and live seafood. We noticed that there were lots of photographs with Hong Kong celebrities pasted on the walls, not too sure if they are the regulars here.. All in all, good food, good service, pleasant environment, but pricey. HK$5xx for two person is almost twice the price for other local hotpot places. Do note that, we noticed a obvious "dry-mouth" feeling after the meal, so, people whom are MSG-sensitive would probably think twice before trying.
