My Aunt took me to another delicious place for seafood and it was located in Kowloon City. Unfortunately there's no English name for this one so you'll need to just rely on Google Maps and look for the front entrance! I come here basically every time I visit Hong Kong because we know the chef and he does amazing wonders to his creations. It's not too well known as it's still a relatively new restaurant but I don't mind as long as I can enjoy delicious seafood at a good price and don't need to wait!
We started off with cold and marinated Jelly fish noodles. It was really good and I rarely eat it because it's usually for special occasions like a wedding banquet. Next was something new that I never tried before and it was Sichuan style "Thousand Year Old Egg"! Usually if you have heard of this, it's usually black and not in this case! It's Sichuan style and it's yellow! The flavor is quite similar but it's a little more on the lighter side in terms of taste. It's quite the interesting appearance, as the "egg white" is completely clear! Learn something new everyday!
Next we ordered a steamed whole fish. I believe it was a "Strawberry Grouper". I love steamed fresh whole fish and this was no exception. It was cooked perfectly and had amazing texture and flavor. Next dish was steamed garlic infused scallops with stuffed clear noodles! That was amazing! I love clear noodles with the scallops. All the juices and flavor from the garlic and the scallop don't go to waste at all as it gets all absorbed by the clear noodles for you to enjoy!
We also ordered Razor shell clams. This is probably my favorite place so far in terms of how it's cooked and flavored. The chef cleaned the clams very well as usually they can be quite sandy if it's not. It was black bean sauce flavored which was very well done.
Next on our list were the mandatory Mantis Prawns or in direct translation in Chinese "Pissing Prawns". It was cooked very well, they seem to always be served deep fried. That's probably the best way to get the natural flavors out I guess. This tasted similar to other seafood restaurants I been to.
Next we ordered a non-seafood dish and it was deep fried pork chunks drenched with a tomato/bbq sauce. It was pretty good. Cooked very well and flavored well. This meal would go very well with some rice.
Lastly we got some crab and a dessert. Nothing too special about those. I definitely recommend giving this place a try if you are in the area.
