Tsui Wah is one of my (if not THE) favorite places to order takeout. Be warned that sometimes delivery service can be extremely slow - I have waited for an hour on 2 occasions; order early (I order around 5PM, reheat later) to be safe. At the end of a long week, we decided to stay in and dialed 2892 2633 (I'm including it for your convenience) For fresh, hot, quality cha chan teng comfort food:1. Braised tomato pork with rice ($44)Overall very good, but sauce is a bit greasy, as with many other
At the end of a long week, we decided to stay in and dialed 2892 2633 (I'm including it for your convenience) For fresh, hot, quality cha chan teng comfort food:
1. Braised tomato pork with rice ($44)
Overall very good, but sauce is a bit greasy, as with many other pan-fried/stir-fried/sauce-based dishes from TW. 4/5
2. Black pepper mixed grill with rice ($45)
Rich, thick sauce with garlic too. "Mixed grill" includes 1 piece of steak, 1 pork chop, a hotdog and a strip of bacon. Rice used is short grain pearl rice. I think this is TW standard.
3. Tender pork cartilage with rice vermicelli ($27)
The sauce used to stew is a "secret recipe", cartilage and meat is great, especially with the very soft vermicelli, but I prefer it with rice because the soup seems to weaken the flavor. But their tender pork cartilage is something that I order almost everytime.
4. XO Shrimp stirred noodles,+side order of beef sinew ($4x + x)
Shrimp "har kau" from TW is always big, plump, bitey (darn ngar) with very good wok hay. Their XO sauce may not be the best, but this combination makes you forget about it. Another reliable signature.
5. Chicken vegeteble rice
Not good nor bad, standard cha chan teng fare. Adequate toppings though (also what you'd expect from TW)
6. Fried beef rice noodles ($4x?)
Another signature. Great seasoning, always fresh, lots of beef, onions, chives, bean sprouts. Notable is that they top it off with sesame (see picture). Note for fat-phobics: grease alert!
Out of the many times I've ordered TW, I can say the food always arrives hot. And prices are very reasonable for this quality. It is more expensive than the average cha chan teng, but at least it's reliable in terms of quality, and they are quite generous with their portions and variety of ingredients. Service is good too; the order takers are always patient (!) and polite.
Like a good old friend, TW is a great standby on any given day. Another reason to love Hong Kong!
