I happened to pass along Wan Chai yesterday and I tried the Openrice Apps with my smartphone to have found this restaurant, handy enough! They don't have many seats inside, so take-away may be quite a reasonable and popular choice, particularly during peak lunch hours.

The Char Siu Roasted Pork combo with noodle cost $27. The soup of the day at an extra $6 is made of Water Spinach, with some Dates added. This kind of Siu Mei restaurants often use big roasted pork bones to make their soup of the day, it is environmental friendly, but the layer of glinting lard on top of the soup may put some health conscious minds off.
The Char Siu which was meant to be the flagship product of this eatery turned out to be appalling. The lean meat was hard, and the peripheral of each piece was full of dark char. The taste is on the sweet side, which I guess is the taste of honey. The Roasted Pork was the far better stuff, fresh, tender and salty to the right extent, the taste of pork was intense, notwithstanding the skin was not crisp enough.
The noodle they use is the very good kind you could encounter, indeed they sell dried noodle cake besides selling ready to serve meals. The texture is on the chewy rather than the velvet side, without a tinge of alkaline smell or taste. Actually besides eating the noodle, I drank the whole bowl of soup to the last mouthful.
The soup of the day, besides oily, is quite full of aroma of Water Spinach. I suggest you to skip the top layer of lard using a spoon before serving it, health is priceless.
题外话/补充资料：
They invariably use disposable paraphernalia, from dish, bowl, spoon, chopsticks, to drinking cup, to save labour cost on one hand, it may piss off those concern with the environment, though it is an issue definitely not a concern of someone running a business in the expensive up-market district of Wan Chai.
