Chui King Lau 醉瓊樓, Wanchai, Hong Kong


1. Stir fried Choy Sum: at a recent research, Choy Sum has the highest EQ10 among all the vegetables. No wonder my grand mom often told us to eat Choy Sum only. I think at the old time the Chinese already studied how good Choy Sum is. Unfortunately, the Chef first boiled the Choy Sum in hot water, and let it stand for a while. Upon the customer's order, he just quick stir fry it. The texture and nutrition of Choy Sum has gone. I often suggest not boiling the food in hot water unless it's necessary. 2. "Abalone" mushroom duck feet on lettuce - quite disappointing that the duck feet wasn't stewed enough - too hard to chew.

3. ToFu hot pot - also quite disappointing. The tofu is too dried. 4. Steamed garlic shirmp - they should use some bigger shrimp and they pour too much oil and garlic. Too overwhelming

5. Stewed duck on veggie - this one is good! Shang Palace should look at this dish on their duck dishes. First they should use the five spice powder to brown the duck and then stew it for a long time. Shouldn't use the BBQ duck and just braise it for a while. 6. The signature dish - this one is still very nice.
Steamed fish with preserved veggie - after trying this dish, I think we should order those Hakka cuisine instead of the local Cantonese cuisine. The last 3 ones are typical Hakka food and are really nice.

Is it the same one you introduced before?

I think this is the same one Sea introduced before but the dishes are different this time.

Yes, it was once introduced but that time the dishes were not the same as these.

Just eat. Don't be so anal about it. You'll be happier that way.
