[ 尖沙咀港仔大排檔 | 石塘咀 ]Came down from visiting HKU for dinner. Not a lot of options to choose from around Westwood, mostly just coffee shops. But stubbled onto this indoor dai pai dong. We came early around 6:30 and luckily we were able to get a seat even though most were already reserved. We thought this meant they would be serving good food (spoiler alert: they do not). We ordered around 6:45 and the first dish came at 7:30, then each dish afterwards took 10 minutes more respectively. There is only

Came down from visiting HKU for dinner. Not a lot of options to choose from around Westwood, mostly just coffee shops. But stubbled onto this indoor dai pai dong.
We came early around 6:30 and luckily we were able to get a seat even though most were already reserved. We thought this meant they would be serving good food (spoiler alert: they do not).
We ordered around 6:45 and the first dish came at 7:30, then each dish afterwards took 10 minutes more respectively. There is only 2 waiters for this small restaurant.
茶錢 is $10 per person. But they only have 3 options. 鐵觀音,普里 and another one.

豉油皇老虎蝦 $188
The photo looked promising but this was the most disappointing dish.
5 small and shrunken pieces of tiger prawns. The sauce is supposed to be addicting but this was not, it was good but not what I expected. Not very intense and rich but rather mild and lackluster.
The prawn shells is covered in sauce which is nice for sucking the sauce. The head is supposed to be filled with delicious, creamy 蝦膏 but sadly this was not fresh and cleaned properly which resulted in a fishy taste (not the good kind!)
The flesh is also a tad bit dry but size at least is not tiny, still acceptable. Very bland taste so need to eat with the onions for a decent bite.
The sautéed onions is very crunchy with great wok hei.

時菜：蝦醬通菜 $82
Can choose between fermented tofu (腐乳), shrimp paste (蝦醬) or XO醬 for seasonal vegetables.
This was actually good. The stems of the morning glory is crunchy and the leaves are tender. Both with great wok hei where it is glossy but not oily/greasy. The shrimp paste is also very savory and not salty.
The portion though is quite small for this price.

茄子炆䱽魚 $98
A decent dish.
The pomfret is not only small but not fresh too. Which resulted in dry flesh and tough skin.
On the other hand the sauce is absolutely delicious. Great on its own with rice ($10) and with the fish. Wished they had more.
The eggplants too are fried beforehand to maintain it’s shape and it’s delicious after braised in the sauce. Sadly, there are only 6-7 pieces. The sautéed onions here too are so tasty in the sauce.

自家製黑白芝麻炸豆腐 $80
Do not get the appeal at all. Both of the tofu is bland and flavorless. The exterior also tastes like bread which meant they didn’t use any particular skill to get a thin coating.
The sweet chilli sauce normally seen in Thai cuisine does give it flavor but only the flavor of sweet chilli. Maybe they should serve with black vinegar to bring out the tofu.
I recommend eating this with the sauce from the braised eggplant and pomfret if you do get it or another dish with a great sauce as it’s extremely bland.

糖水：紅豆沙
Complimentary with each dinner dish.
Never had red bean soup served cold before which is interesting. The taste is not too sweet and the consistency is quite thin but still somehow flavorful. I like the generous amount of red bean and taro as well which is delicious and not bland.
Not a bad portion for complimentary dessert. Glad to be ending tonight on a high note.

💬 Overall, not a great dining experience. Their vegetables in dishes are so much better than their meat dishes. I don’t get why they have so many reservations, probably because there is not a lot of restaurants nearby.
The time taken to serve food also needs a lot of improvement. None of the dishes were served together which should not be a trait for dai pai dongs.
Maybe we tried the wrong dishes but it can’t be a coincidence that nothing was memorable.
