This tiny restaurant is famous for meat patty mountains with a salted egg on top.There was a time when the Chinese fast food chain FAIRWOOD had a similar item and for some people who have not been here before thought its was the first in Hong Kong!http://www.openrice.com/english/restaurant/commentdetail.htm?commentid=2174106Anyway, I came here to try the chicken after reading reviews that it was not spicy and the steamed egg with crab.I tried this restaurant first even though my review for the S

Anyway, I came here to try the chicken after reading reviews that it was not spicy and the steamed egg with crab.
I tried this restaurant first even though my review for the Shau Kei Wan branch was published earlier.
I had the chicken twice at this place and it tasted different on the two visits.

Steamed egg with crab:
It was basically steamed egg with a crab on top, there was lots of soy sauce on top.The texture of the egg was really silky but it was also quite firm when you put the spoon in it.
I was surprised that beneath the steamed egg, there was more liquid which tasted nice with the rice.
As for the crab, I only ate the crab roe which was delicious.The crisp spring onions and the steamed egg were really good together.

Spicy chicken - first visit:
The first time I tried the spicy chicken, the dish was exciting being packed with so many ingredients in it.There was preserved eggs, peanuts, Chinese parsley, red bell peppers, and Chinese vinaigrette.
It was almost like eating a Chinese salad because the Indian lettuce and noodles beneath it were perfect and absorbed the delicious vinegar.
However it seems to vary because sometimes they use Indian lettuce and sometimes they use iceberg lettuce.
The vinegar tasted like the Japanese vinegar used for salads.
The noodles reminded me of "Chan chuen fun" but I still haven’t had a chance to try it yet as not many places have it.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Spicy chicken - second visit:
On the second visit, the sauce was not as tangy as the first time and the lettuce beneath the chicken was different.This time it was iceberg lettuce, which had a crunch and did not retain as much sauce as the Indian lettuce did.
The noodles were thicker this time and did not absorb as much sauce as the thin ones.

Salted lemon with sprite:
This drink tasted as good as the one I had in Macau, but there was only one piece of salted lemon. It tasted better when there was less Sprite in proportion to the salted lemon because the taste of the salted lemon comes out more and the sprite does not taste so sweet.
As there was one piece of lemon, I only poured half of the sprite in. In Macau, they serve bottled sprite as well.
