Tim's Kitchen is a decent sized fancy Chinese restaurant in Sheung Wan. The decor is very modern for a Chinese restaurant, and I noticed that a lot of foreigners came here to dine. I especially liked all the modern wooden decor on the window sills as this added a traditional element to the atmosphere. There are two levels to the restaurant and the top floor is much more spacious than the bottom floor. I came here to celebrate my dad's birthday and his sister's birthday. We all wanted to try some
I think that this style of egg requires an acquired taste. The colour at first may be a bit off putting, but I find it very intriguing. These eggs were prepared beautifully. To get the best experience from this appetizer, you should eat it together with the ginger that is provided. I must commend this egg further, for it was superb. Normally, when you eat this egg, there is a very strong aftertaste or smell of ammonia, however this egg did not have this aroma. Furthermore, the liquified egg yolk was made exquisitely and tasted very sweet, but was not overwhelming. All the flavours melted harmoniously in your mouth. My dad also commented that this was a very high quality egg, one of the best he had ever had.
This looked really good when it arrived. I love to add fried garlic, or just garlic in general to anything. The egg plant was succulent, however I believe that the thousand island dressing was excessive and covered the delicate flavour of the egg plant. Less sauce would have been ideal.
Lately, I have been eating a lot of tofu. This tofu dish was served piping hot and was presented beautifully. It was very smooth and large. The soya sauce was just right to balance this dish perfectly. A definite must try.
The char siu was not fatty at all, which is always appreciated. The sauce was great, however I believed the portion could have been larger for the price that they charged. It was overall a very high quality barbecued pork that went really well with the rice. I also really enjoy the fried nuts that were embedded into this dish.
I think snake is also an acquired taste. I tried a spoonful of my dads and found the snake skin to be very rough. The ingredients in the soup were plentiful and there was definitely a very full flavour to the soup. The others who had this dish commented that it was very tasty and not too salty.
I always use this dish as a benchmark dish to compare with other Chinese restaurants. Personally, I found their to be too few pineapples. Moreover, the pork itself was very fat. However, that being said, the sauce was just the right thickness, and the peppers were cooked beautifully. The sauce was not the extremely red, which made it look better in a photo. This is my dads favourite food, and he commented that it was good, but he has definitely had better.
The dish was beautifully presented. This photo shows how I plated the dish on my own plate. At first I thought it was just a taro puff, which was cooked and fried beautifully, although it was a little bit salty. However, when I took my second bite, I noticed a very thin layer of crispy duck skin on the bottom of the puff. The combination was good, but the duck was very fatty. Despite that, I found the flavours complemented each other well and tasted great.
I am very picky about this dish. However, it gets a perfect five smileys. Their were many ingredients, including sufficient lap sausage, which was not too fatty. The dish was served piping hot, and the rice was nice and soft. Although after one spin around the lazy susan the dish had cooled down and the rice on the bottom became hard. That being said, the dish itself was not too oily, which is the real determining factor for me. A definite must try, although I believe you have to pre-order this dish in advance.
I had a great time with my family celebrating the birthday of two important people in my life. The food was good, atmosphere was good, and service was excellent. Even though its a bit out of the centre of the city, I will be coming back to try more of this restaurant's fine Chinese cuisine.
