I'm a big fan of Indian food. I've tried a number of Indian restaurants, mosty in Chungking Mansion or in Tsimshatsui. Indian foods are delicious because of heavily use of herbs while ingredients are usually not fresh enough comparing Chinese style. This is understandable considering the living standard in those places. Fresh food is costly. Herbs are widely used and the strong favour can make up for the less-freshness of meats and seafood.There are not many choices of Indian food in Lantau Isla
There are not many choices of Indian food in Lantau Island. This one is obviously an option among the few choices. The restaurant is in a village along Tung Chung Road and it's not easy to describe the exact location. If finding by digital map, you can start searching by entering the keyword "Tung Chung Public School". The restaurant is almost there. There are two landmarks -- a bus stop and Auxiliary Medical Service Tung (Tung Chung Office), a 3-level building with red edges. There is an entry next to the bus stop. drivers can drive the car inside and park the cars. It's heard that customers may contact the restaurant to arrange transportation. Not a bad idea!
I visited the restaurant at about 9pm on Saturday night. Not many customers were there. I knew the restaurant from OpenRice. There were not many reviews but in general positive. Hence I had an expectation of decent food.
For starter, a paratha was given for free and I ordered a dish of samosa. Paratha was surprisingly not crispy enough, and so was the deep fried samosa pastry. Not for the whole pieces but for the last bit, I found it's chewy. I suspected some problems with the pastry or oil temperatue. The filling was good but I expected more spicy.
The main dishes were Garlic Chicken Tikka and Prawn Makhani. The favour of both dishes was not as strong as I expected, especially the chicken tikka. I was not sure if I had made a wrong order from the beginning. That's just not what I was looking for. The good point was that the ingredients looked good. The chicken meat was soft and juicy. We dipped the curry with a plain naan. My friend also ordered a glass of lime soda. She made a joke that the drink had the strongest taste among all.
Tonight it seemed that the resturant had received a large order of naan. A lot of naans were put ontables outside to cool down and dry. However, they were put on top of pieces of newspaper. That might not be very acceptable to Hong Kong people in terms of hygiene. The kichen inside was nowhere better. The washroom's hygiene was disappointing, which was inconvenient for female customers. I hope the owner can pay attention to these.
Most seatings are outdoor with a shelter. The environment is silent and nice when the weather is nice. Considering the humid weather in Hong Kong, it may not be a good idea for rainy days. The waiters and waitresses are friendly. A good experience overall.
