It was late on a Saturday night and we wanted to try somewhere we had never been to before and yet very typically local. So we decided on Wanchai. We parked at the CC Wu Building car park and saw lots of places still open on Heard Street. It was 10pm and the owner at this restaurant kept telling us to go in. I asked him what was good at his restaurant and he promised me everything would be good.We settled for 3 dishes. Fatty Beef with XO sauce was really smelling delicious when it arrived. The b
We settled for 3 dishes. Fatty Beef with XO sauce was really smelling delicious when it arrived. The beef was thinly cut as in those you put into hot pots and the sauce was slightly spicy but full of flavour, those that you only get when you fry food at a very high heat for a short time. We ordered some rice to go with the beef Cuttlefish cakes had a firm and slightly springy texture, a very good bite. It was crispy on the outside and not soaked with oil. The oil was fresh and so the cakes were a good colour. Again, very well executed This beans dish originates from Szechuan but here in this Hong Kong style eatery, it was not as chilli or fried as dry. But as a vegetable dish, this was more tasty as the beans were sweet by nature and retained the moisture. The minced pork was a bit salty, so again went well with rice.
The place was a bit rough and ready and so don't go for a first date. The food however was an excellent example of good hearty Hong Kong dishes. So do go for a try but not too late as it closes at 11pm
