This restaurant has been in this upper Central area (Stantun street/Elign Street) before the area is called Soho. It somehow attracts some foreigners to try something local, rather than those vivid hip restaurants.
1. This kind of simple decoration would mean "local" to those foreign visitors. 2. Deep fried "white rice" fish/squid in chili salt HK$48. Though it's not the best, this is the original style of chili salt, unlike Jade Garden putting a lot of garlic without chili and salt.
3. Dried shrimp with baby veggie HK$50. The dried shrimp is not of good quality but I wouldn't complain since it's just HK$50. Anyway, what caught my attention is that they rinsed the baby veggie very thouroughly - no mud inside the stem. This kind of baby veggie is very difficult to rinse. 4. Chicken baked in raw salt HK$98. It may sound expensive but they use lively killed chicken (not the fridge one). Further noted is that they didn't "polish" the dishes. In most restaurants, stir fried dishes would be completed with a final touch of oil to make it shiny. Or they would use some soda to make it look nice. The dishes here are quite original.
5. green bean sweet - very nice fragrant herb. 6. the shop.

this little bistro is really really nice
just for the salty chicken i can eat 3 bowl of rice, nowadays it is difficult to get live chicken in HK
You mean no live chicken in HK or in BKK?
Yes, I can eat 3 bowls of rice with that too(nowadays I still do). I like salty chicken a lot, especially the Hakka style.
I missed the beef ball with veggie at the Hakka Restaurant like
"Drunken King Lau".
Yes, it's difficult but it's still possible to get live chicken. Stella, it's easy to make the beef ball with veggie at home. Unlike this one, you have to get it in restaurants.
It is not difficult to get live chicken in Chinatown or Monterey Park, although I seldom go buy it.
As the smell of the poultry is so bad and the feathers all over and make me sneeze.
So to deal with fridge chicken, marinate it with some rock salt and Chinese rice wine and it will help a bit.
