Ambience: Warm & cozy lighting with friendly staff. My humble opinion:
It was my first time here & I was lost as to how to place order...
There were some self-order food lists & a pencil on the table.
But I couldn't find the list of Special Hotplate Sets that I wanted to order.
So, I raised my hand & a service staff came almost immediately.
I ordered a 海陆空 Hotplate Set Meal which included garlic bread, soup & a drink.
The Hot Ginger Cola (young ginger boiled in Cola & served hot) came first.
This is a very interesting way of drinking Cola & is found uniquely in Hong Kong.
It was believed to be able to cure flu instantaneously.
Well, at least it worked for me la...
Then came the 海陆空 Hotplate, I was unable to decide what meat to eat, so I ordered this set.
It was a well deserved wait...
It consisted of 1 piece each of Fish Fillet, Pork Chop & Chicken Chop.
- the Fish Fillet was fresh & literally melted on my tongue...
- the Pork Chop was nicely marinated & tenderized to perfection...mmm...
- the Chicken Chop was slightly salty but was oh-so-juicy!
- the potato wedges was crispy outside & moist inside...
I especially liked the big halved tomato, it's so firm & juicy...
Verdict:
Bill: $19.90 for this set meal...
What a steal...!
Note: Most Chinese restaurants serve the drinks first (e.g. Chinese Tea...) for their guests to enjoy throughout their meal.
It is best to notify the service staff in advance (when placing your order) if you preferred your hot drink last.
Repeat visits guaranteed from me!
PS:
I really missed Hong Kong...especially the food!!!
We would always reserve 1 meal at Tsui Wah Restaurant for their super-value, yummy Hot Plate Meals...regardless of our busy itinerary.
I dared say, Hong Kong Kim Gary Restaurant had made equal par in terms of taste, service & efficiency with them.
Kudos to the team!
