撈喜 is a small restaurant located in Sau Kei Wan that offers meals featuring fish maw for not exorbitant prices. I discovered it one day while I was doing some errands in the area. Curious, I decided to give it a try.
The menu is in English and Chinese. They have various dishes with fish maw or abalone. But the most value is this set for $148. Here you get a bowl of soup, noodles with fish maw, vegetables and an appetizer.
The daily soup was a double boiled soup of sea cucumber and chicken. Inside was packed with ingredients as it was made inside the soup container.
The soup was excellent. Very sweet and savory. Packed with flavor. The sea cucumber was white teat type and not what I was used to which is black in color.
The appetizer was a Thai style fried pork jowl. It was brimming in oil that came from the pork fat. It was seasoned well but there was still a small dab of Thai style satay sauce for dipping to add to it.
The set came with some boiled lettuce. This was fine as lettuce goes.
Just as the menu described, this was a big piece of fish maw with noodles. The sauce had a savory slightly seafood flavor. It reminded me of oyster sauce. The fish maw was big and quite smooth in texture. The noodles were chewy.
Under the fish maw was a braised shitake mushroom and broccoli. Loved they added the broccoli as it really soaked up the sauce.
This place is a good stop for soup as I highly recommend it. Not only healthy but if you don't go with the set, it's only $58. Not expensive at all for a moment to nourish your body. Would probably return for soup.
