Kwan Kee Claypot Rice @ Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

With decades of experience, Kwan Kee Claypot Rice is famous for their claypot rice and it is located at Sheung Wan. This claypot store is highly recommended by my aunt because she frequent visit to Hong Kong for business.

As a regular customer, my aunt have to make a table reservation for the 4 of us one day in advance due to the long waiting time for a table. You can choose to seat inside or outside their restaurant. We decide to seat inside although it is cramp because outside was way too cold..

The boss cooking their signature dish

Even watching him cook can be mouth watering! 

This is their menu

This are the different dishes my aunt had ordered : stirfried bittergourd with pepper beef

Sweet and sour pork, sorry for the half finished food

Frogleg with ginger and green onion

Pork and chicken claypot rice

Once you received your claypot, you got to quickly stir it and mix it with their special soya sauce, the mixing allows the sauce to be evenly mixed and also to prevent burning of the rice in contact with the hot claypot. There is a layer of crispy and slightly burnt rice at the bottom which doesn’t stick to the pot. 

Last but not least their popular Pork Bone Hot Pot

From the over spewing looks, you can see lots of ingredients in there like vegetables, chicken feets, corns, tofu, white radish and huge pork bones to chew on.

This is the aftermath down with a refreshing glass of coke!

So if you ever want to pop by in this restaurant, do remember to book a reservation;)

Yan Wo Soy Bean Shop @ Causeway Bay

During my second day in Hong Kong, i decided to do some self exploration without my family due to the light drizzle and cold temperature. So i decided to start travelling down from Mongkok where my hotel is. I took my own sweet time to walk and brave through the rain taking pictures from my iPhone while everyone is out with their umbrellas.

I've got too much time to spare so i decided to hop into the MTR (train) and just travel aimlessly. Hence, i arrived at Central (Hongkong island) which is the last station on the red line. There i got off and wander about at my own pace and also take "night" pictures. 

 I dont know if it is fate or luck? After taking this photo above, of all people in HK i saw my singaporean aunt walking towards me, she couldn't recognise me at first until i call out to her and we were shocked and dumbfounded hahah! And soon, she brought me to Causeway Bay to try some very outstanding tofu (beancurd). This is their menu.

 Yan Wo Soy Bean Shop @ Causeway Bay , not really hard to locate as it is down along the street beside the famous Forever 21 store. Or you can just ask anyone there because its very well-known. 

Very easy to spot, as they fried their signature dish right infront of their stall.

Starting with their signature dish, its the fried tofu with fish meat stuffing. Really hot, fresh and the texture was cook to perfection, the tofu really just burst into your mouth. To even make it more mouthwatering, drizzle their special chilli and soy sauce . Really good for a cold weather!

3 is never enough and i have to order more! Next dish was their beancurd which is worth to mention, its very smooth and it just melt on your tongue.

It comes with no sugar content so you mught have to sweeten it up yourself with the orange coloured sugar (i think is coconut sugar)

They do sell other dishes like porridge, vegetarian beehoon, also soyabean drink and desserts.

One thing to add is, if you ever dine into this kind of small eateries in HK, be prepared to squeeze into this small stalls, and also its very common to share tables with a stranger.

Koung's Wan Tan Mee @ Geylang

This is one of my favourite place to eat whenever i have difficulty deciding on what to have for dinner.

Koung's Wan Tan Mee stall is situated at Geylang Lorang 13. It is closed on Monday and they begin business from 7:30am to 9:30pm. Most of the time they are shorthanded, therefore you have to wait for around 10-15mins for your food.

It is self service and you have to wait for your collection number.

Waiting...

15mins later, my number got called out and this is my set for 2 with my dad :D

Wan tan mee or some people called it wanton noodle have their unique ketchup sauce mixed with the noodles.

Wanton are actually the dumplings found in the soup. Some wanton are pork/prawn filled. 

So we ordered 2x sets (add extra meat (barbequed pork) and noodles) and a plate of vegetables. 

What you see on top of the vegetables are actually fried pork fats and oyster sauce which brings out the flavour of the dish. 

This entire dinner cost us a total of S$17. I must say its really filling dinner for the both of us. 

Stay tune as next i will be posting some food reviews from Hong Kong :P

Salted Egg Chicken Rice @ Sim Lim Square

This amazing dish Salted Egg Chicken rice was recommended to me by Andric, which is located at Sim Lim Square. So i went down there on a Sunday morning around 10am expecting to skip the peak hours, however i was wrong! Their stall is open, but their signature dish which is their Salted Egg Chicken Rice is only available at 12noon. Hence, instead of wasting time, me and my childhood friend decided to catch a movie: Kung Fu Panda 3. Hilarious and also a morale gaining movie, i definitely recommend you guys to watch it too haha!

Okay so we headed back to Sim Lim Square around 3-4pm after a good movie and surprising there is still a handful of people ordering and chit chatting. 

Situated at level 2 unit number #02-04.

They also sell other dishes but their Salted Egg Chicken Rice is worth to die for!!

So this is what i had! You can even smell the distinctive smell of salted egg wafting through the air even before they are served to you, amazing xD Will be back to try the other dishes!

Avg Per Pax $4.50

Sungei Road Laksa

If you were to crave for a bowl of Laksa, Sungei Road Laksa is the best place to satisfy your cravings. Located at Block 27 Jalan Berseh Coffeeshop. Expect long queues during peak periods, hence i always have it during my tea breaks around 3-4pm haha!

I ordered the large bowl which is $4, they uses fresh ingredients like the coconut milk, cockles and fish cakes. The soup is so good that i cleared the entire bowl xD

They are closed every Wednesday and are opened from 9:30am - 5:00pm.

Avg per pax $3.50

Laksa is a Singapore dish which includes thick rice noodles (bee hoon) in a coconut curry gravy with prawn and egg. Sometimes chicken, tau pok (beancurd puffs) or fish cake may be added.

The Beef House @ Jalan Besar

Situated at the cross junction of 217 Syed Alwi Road,(Jalan Besar)  Gar Lok Eating House. This famous Authentic Hakka Beef ball noodle store is one of the best which been around for more than 10years. Its usually packed during the peak hours and their service is really slow. (sometimes they will miss out on your orders) 

They are open on all days except Fridays.

They do sell Yong Tau Foo, however one of their highlight dish is their beef noodles (soup/dry) both are delicious. Owner of the store refer me as Obama, cause he say i looks like him.... LOL. 

This is my favourite dish,  the beef ball nicknamed the "Bouncy Beef Ping Pong Balls". This beef balls are chewy and dipping it into their signature sauce really brings out the full flavour in your mouth.

Avg price per pax : $4

Breakfast Set

So what kind of standard breakfast do you have every morning? Well for me, ever since the beginning of the 2nd year of my studies in Temasek Poly , every morning I have always been to my school's canteen for breakfast and order breakfast set without fail. Until now whenever the store auntie sees me from afar she will start preparing my breakfast how the way i wanted, like the drink (Teh C) and the peanut butter spread on my toast. 

So this is what i have every morning before classes. Includes peanut butter toast bread, teh C and 2 half boiled eggs

1) Are you a dark sauce or a pepper to go with your eggs person? 

Well i love to have lots of pepper and 3 drops of dark sauce to go with my egg, this is my "style"

Well others may like dark sauce over pepper taking for example my classmate

2) How do you like your hot morning drink be? Milo, Horlicks, tea or coffee?

I normally go for Teh Si. If you dont know what is teh means it means (tea) i've got an infographic for you;)

Kopi* is coffee.

And for the ice/cold version, just add a "peng" behind.

3) What spread do you have on your toast? most common are a combination of kaya and butter, or sugar and butter. But for me, i love peanut butter :P
