One day, boyfriend and I walked by a place in Mong Gok that had bamboo hats on all the tables. Curious, we saw that it served seafood by cooking it under these hats. It was the most bizarre thing I had ever seen.Foodie curiosities got the better of me and I had to look up what was this weirdness.Apparently, the use of bamboo hats to cook is found in the Yunnan province of China.

Foodie curiosities got the better of me and I had to look up what was this weirdness.
Apparently, the use of bamboo hats to cook is found in the Yunnan province of China. It's common there to use these are wok covers. They also have stone pots that are embedded into the tables and food is cooked right there while covered with bamboo hat. This is their version of the hotpot!
That is so weird. I wanted to try it. As it was Canadian Thanksgiving, boyfriend and I came here to celebrate.
So, we found out that the closest place to where I live is at this place called 潮福蒸氣石鍋 (English name : Chiu Fook Steam Stone Pot), located in San Wan Ho. Location is easy to find as it's close the MTR station.
Each table had a stone pot embedded into the table with a large bamboo hat on top. The hat was very sturdy. Place was extremely clean and new. Seating was spacious. We later found out that they had branches in other areas of Hong Kong.
There is a timer on the table. This is used to time how long it takes to steam the food. They have it all precisely measured.
The restaurant is geared for seafood! There were large tanks of fresh seafood at the front of their restaurant.
They also had fresh seafood in one area of their restaurant for customers to choose their own seafood. Everything was fresh and still moving! They seemed to have a wide selection. It felt like when I was a kid and seeing the big fish tanks at Chinese restaurants in Chinatown and feeling awestruck.
They had a condiment area for those that want to make their own dipping sauce. The staff actually recommends you don't use the dipping sauces to really taste the pure seafood flavor. But this area is available for those that want it.
Menu is in Chinese only. There is no English. But I guess, for the Chinese illiterate, you can point at the live seafood in the tanks and see what they tell you.
Everything is cooked at your table. And when I say EVERYTHING, I mean EVERYTHING. They even have a steam cake if you want for dessert! The staff bring your food, put it into the steamer, press the timer and when it beeps, the staff comes back and serves you the food. The steamer was pretty powerful as it steamed food very fast. The staff told us that it takes half the time compared to a regular wok.Things we ordered.
Razer Back Clams ($48 each). We ordered two as there were two of us. It came with vermicelli. The vermicelli was sweetened by the juices from the razer back clams. The clams were just cooked at the right moment and very fresh.

Meal ended with a few slices of watermelon.Combined with tea charge and charge for a plate of peanuts, everything came to $920. That is actually a pretty good deal for fresh seafood. Also, as everything was steamed, no oil was added and this made for a very healthy form of eating. I would definitely return and bring relatives for a family dinner.
