The ever popular Mui Kee that is found in Tsim Sha Tsui where my friends like to bring their tourist friends to now has a branch in Mong Kok. As I had a friend come in from Canada, my friends and I decided to bring her here and we chose this branch as it was new.Located down Ladies Market, this Mui Kee is located in a brand spanking newly renovated building.

Located down Ladies Market, this Mui Kee is located in a brand spanking newly renovated building. Everything about this Mui Kee is different than the Tsim Sha Tsui branch. Where the Tsiim Sha Tsui branch looked more like an authentic dai pai dong, this one looked like a cute cafe. The plastic stools found in the original branch were replaced with comfy sofa seats with cute cushions.
The original branch had posters and bus maps to make it feel like a dai pai dong. Here I found funny signs.
Menu is still only in Chinese. As there were 10 of us, we ordered a number of dishes. I photographed a few as I spent most of the night catching up with my out of town friend.Stir Fried Black Pepper Beef Cubes. This was pretty juicy but not overly spicy with the black pepper.
Smoked Pork Knuckle. A classic Mui Kee dish. This was not as salty as the original branch. Skin was a bit chewier.
Stir Fried Razer Back Clams in Black Bean Sauce. This was pretty good. The clams were fresh and not over cooked. This got finished fast.
Oyster Omelette. This looked very different than the original branch. I liked it more as there was less flour and less oily but a few of my friends didn't like it very much. They felt it wasn't fried enough.
Deep Fried Squid Meat. There was a lot less flour coating than the original place and more meat found. The meat was not very springy. But at least a lot less oily.
Stir Fried Morning Glory. The girls among us were grateful that we got to order a vegetable dish. Vegetables were crisp and fragrant with salty fish.
Salt and Pepper Tofu. This was super salty and peppery all that the same time. You really need a long hard drink afterwards. The tofu was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Fried pretty well.
We ordered a number of other dishes as well but I had forgotten to take photos. Along with a few bottles of beer we totalled out at $1200. For ten people, that was $120 per person. Pretty filling, pretty cheap. The setting was a lot cleaner than the other place though the feeling of a dai pai dong was gone so not as fun to take a tourist for the fake dai pai dong experience. Service was amazing and a lot better than the orignal place. Food was not as oily as the original place which pleased the girls. The guys, however, felt it was healthier and liked the original place more. Go figure. Still a good and inexpensive place for a group gathering.
