It was late and we noticed this place that served simple bowl of noodles with some people ordering a whole stick of fishcake. We found it a bit weird and decided to give it a try. But this was the odd thing we saw a few tables eating. A whole fish cake, sliced. On the menu it is $50-65 depending on weight. Ours came to $70. Personall, I think a bit over rated. It was ok. A bit too soft for my liking. There wasn't a lot of fish taste and it was over powered by the taste of pepper. Boyfriend ordered the beef brisket noodles ($40). A lot of tendon was given but there wasn't a lot of flavour. The brisket was a bit tough and chewy. I had the fish balls and fish dumplings noodles ($44). The fish balls were too soft and mushy. It also was over powered by too much pepper so you couldn't taste much fish. The fish dumplings, on the other hand, were really good. Skin had a good amount of bounch and it didn't taste too floury. For a fish ball noodle place, I have better places. It was too mushy for my liking. I like my balls to be more firm and bouncy. There was also too much pepper as well. Portions were a bit stingy as well. I definitely won't be back as there are better places in the area.

It seems every time we come to Kwai Chung Plaza, this cha chaan teng is always super busy with a line waiting to go in. We decided to find out why. Menu is in Chinese only. There is no 10% service charge. When we were there, they had the afternoon tea set available. Along with the usual cha chaan teng classics, they offered roast meat as well. I decided on the Stir Fried Beef Noodle ($52). Portions are definitely large here. It wasn't too dark in color but wow! Was it salty. The beef were small and thin. Super soft but not much beef flavour. Boyfriend ordered a spicy Thai fried noodle that wasn't spicy at all. Just overly salty. The food isn't very good but they do offer big portions. I did notice people order roast meat so I wonder if that is the thing to get?? I guess we won't be back.

Exploring the Ma On Shan area, we saw a lot of people inside this cha chaan teng. We decided to give it a try. They had afternoon tea sets when we were there. The menu is in Chinese only. There is no English and no 10% service charge. The interesting thing about their afternoon tea sets is that you can create your own by choosing something from section A and one from section B for $42. All sets come with a drink. I created mine: a small Hong Kong style French toast and a fried fish fillet. The fillet was a bit small compared to othe cha chaan tengs. Crispy coating and the fish was so soft. A bit on the salty side. The French toast had plenty of peanut butter with actual peanuts still there. Also a bit on the salty side but tasted fairly good. Boyfriend chose a fried chicken fillet and a mini baked meat pasta. The chicken was a bit under and the coating was a bit on the salty side. But the pasta was completely sad to eat. Not enough sauce and it wasn't really coated into the pasta. The pasta was soggy and watery. We didn't see any meat. It was terrible. Food was a bit on the salty side and the pasta was atrocious. I saw they have other branches so I doubt we'll be back.

Meeting up with friends from out of town, someone decided we should eat at Moon Lok Chiu Chow. The place is located at Mira and serves a more modern version of the Chiu Chow classics. It's the sister branch of the more famous Pak Loh Chiu Chow which is a favorite of mine. We ordered a number of dishes to share between the nine of us. My friend's friend took the liberty to order everything without consulting anyone so I have no idea what the menu even looked like so I have no idea if it's bilingual. She was also the one who chose the restaurant so I assumed she had been here before. The Chiu Chow assorted marinaded platter. It was a bit weak in flavour. You do get slices of goose breast, egg, tofu and pork belly. But oddly, the marinade wasnt strong enough. Perhaps this is the modernized version? The braised tofu pot was a bit on the salty side. Plenty of tofu that soaked up the sauce well along with lots of mushrooms. The oyster omelette was a super disappointment. One of my favorite Chiu Chow food, this was mostly a clumpy starchy mess. Not a lot of oysters as well. The sweet and sour fish were delicious. Flavour was just right. The fish was cooked perfectly. Deep Fried chicken was also very good. The skin was crisp and not too oily. The meat was still juicy. They also deep fried the seaweed. The deep fried fish was a bit dry and over cooked. The worst was this? The deep fried noodles pancake. Generally a favorite at Pak Loh Chiu Chow, this place made a complete mess. It was soggy and not crisp. This was the only thing that was unfinished. The food here wasn't as good as the original Pak Loh Chiu Chow. Food was lack luster and some items missed the mark. Definitely wouldn't want to come again and will stick to Pak Loh Chiu Chow instead.

As there was an art gallery nearby, we decided to grab a quick bite in this building. Deciding to try something different than the usual Cafe de Coral, we came across Fragrant Leaf Bay. Serving Thai food at super cheap prices. When we were there, they had afternoon tea sets. Menu is in English and Chinese. There is no 10% service charge and you pay on your way out. Sets include a drink. Boyfriend had the Thai Fried Noodle with Seafood ($43). This was spicy. The noodles were soggy and super oily. Seafood was basically small canned clam meat. I had the Thai Noodle Soup Set ($35). You can choose two items and I chose Thai Pork Jowl and Chicken Wing. The soup was basically MSG and not much else in terms of flavour. Noodles were soggy and clumped together. It seemed they pre-cooked the noodles and poured soup on top, thus being all clumped together. The pork jowl was at leastgood and juicy. But the chicken wing was tough, overcooked and oily. Food was pretty terrible though fairly cheap. Will definitely not be back.
