Hong Kong s' Most Poplar Chiu Chow cuisine: Da Lan?

Da Lan is a typical Chiu Chow style of food, usually they display the cooked food in pot in front of you, so that you can choose what ever you like. Da Lan, is likely those related to the street shop, and to me a lower class food category for Chiu Chow cuisine., I had tried it once many year ago when we went out with schoolmate for celebration for something. Since we were not rich to go to those famous restaurant. We chose this Da Lan… It was not expensive as we did not take those so called First Class (expensive) food like the cold crab. We did try the goose meat with Dou fu…
Some deep fried Clam with Chili. Some Pig’s blood and the green vegetable ne bowl of Congee.
Last week my little girl urged me to go for Da Lan which I had not tasted more than 3 years. At Tsuen Wan , street store.. a lot of local people would like to go...
A Bottle of Blue Girl beer, likely the most popular beer for Hong Kong People.
A plate of Chili Clam, Hot pot Chicken. Chile Crab, that was all.
It was a local favour, not too much excited with their way they serve as people are waiting and you may not have a lot of time for eating SLOWLY. The Chili Clam was excellent and I made a repeated order… The Chicken was bad… The Chile Crab is Good.
That was a hot night, so there was not aircon. Only Street side Fan con. A hot Summer night, hot Chili Crab and a hot heart for a night with my daughter… wonderful Dinner.
Total HKD$280.00 (USD$36.00!)

Chui Wah Champagne Milk Tea

gne

Two days ago there was a HK Milk Team competition as one of the event in the food festival every year.
Milk Tea is likely the most preferred drink for people of Hong Kong, there are a lot od trade secret for a cup of milk tea. I used to take a hot one rather than a Ice Cold Milk tea for health reason. As a Ice Cold Milk tea would solidify the fat in the food, that may be accumulate if we take it everyday. and there have been scientific proof to have cancer related to this drinking habbit.
But in the hot Summer, a cup of Ice Cold Milk Tea would soothe our mental stress during Hi Tea. Next time, I would recommend ou to try this Champagne milk tea from Chui Wah restaurant, it is refreshing, smooth and full of tea aroma. Only HKD$18.00. Well, go with a Ball Law Bao with a thick piece of Butter! Probbaly the best Tai Pai Tang favour in Hong Kong!

Shan Dong Cuisine

These are the Shan Dong Cuisine, which has been fusioned with some of the werid food you can see here, scropian, worms, moths...etc
On the other hand, generally I am not used to the smell of the restaurant even at a  5 star hotel restaurant, whenever you enter the restaurant, there is a pungent oil smell that would cause your feeling disgusting and even worse...vomit... I can say that there seem no one is aware of it!? Or they see no difference of a good clean restaurant  that thye have to care not just the food , but also the air by regular cleaning and the general house keeping and or even has to use air refresher regularly. This time I had tried more than three types of the best beer in Shan Dong...Well, Still I think Qing Dao seems is the best with taste, and they way they had a well balanced bitterness and the wheat favour after beer fermentation.In So far I do not find the Shan Dong Cuisine is my type at all, in other word, I do not like it at all. Sorry if you are feeling sick about it , but friend of mine was enjoying so much as your delicious T-bone Steak!.

Loong Yat Hin of Kowloon hotel

Opened in May, 2008, the brand new boutique Chinese restaurant is acclaimed for its authentic Cantonese cuisine and delicate dim sum, prepared by experienced chefs with the finest ingredients. Here, guests may enjoy lunch or dinner while overlooking the famous Nathan Road, in front of the huge window glass is the Peninsular Hotel. The food is OK with the price they offer you. Not a bad idea if you had to find a suitable dinner with your friends.

My Favourite Dessert

If you ask me what is my favourite Dessert, I think it may take me a whilst to tell, as in Hong Kong there are so mnay types of sweet or pudding avaiable in street side shops or in some sweets specialist shops like; Hui Lau Shan, Chung Key, B Chai Leung Fan...etc


These are my favourite puddings:


1. Bak Po Dumpling served in ginger soup served by Chung Key
2. Hui Lau Shan Ice puddings like the two shown


Welll, note that my Choresterol is not low, I should bahave myself in front of these great food, but once in a while, or once in a day... I think it is OK...

Kim Chiu Restaurant

A local Chiu Chow Style food, Place Kwai Fong Wing Fong Road No. 9. Hang King Garden C02. 14-15 G/Floor
Tel: 26100488, 24108729

They have very local favour, a blended taste of Canton and Chiu Chow, somehow I find that they have more bias on Canton Style of cooking. very good "Wok-Chi"  Worth your trying!!

I Have tried deep fried Oyster, Salad Prawn, and Giner and Chinese Onion with Fish head... Excellent favour, the taste is just right, and not the salty type...

I think they will not disappoint you, however, table is not too big and you are permitted to stay 1 hour 30 minutes only.

Golden Thai Food in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong

There is limited numbers of Thai Restaurant in Tsuen Wan. There is a Golden Thai Food Restaurant at G/F., 7-13 Teuen Hing Path, Tsuen Wan.
There are a lot of people waiting there at night, and we can see long queue for the Seat there, they are running by Thai.
However my favourite dish of Salad and deep fried cat fish was not available tonight, and the waitress advised me to order in advance by phone, I was a bit unhappy as that is the best Thai dish I would like to eat...
I took A Chili Crab at HKD$188, whole piece of crab with a lot of eggs. and The taste is not as hot as I used to eat at Wong Chun Chun Kowloon City. And it was too much gravy, it would be better if they can put more chili and control ot have less gravy. I know that most HK people do not take chili at all.
Overall speaking, this is one of the Choice if you come across to step into Tsuen Wan and want to take Thai food.

Call Tel: 23344422 or 23344477 for reservation.
