Legendary Hong Kong

When a HK friend told me about this place where they get their HK food cravings satisfied, I am seriously intrigued. For the past year my go-​to place is Imperial Treasure Windows of HK in Somerset so I am looking forward to expanding my HK menu options here. This restaurant is actually more accurately described as a Hong Kong dining «concept» since it is 4 restaurants rolled into one — a cha charn teng (loosely a HK style diner), a dim sum place, a cantonese bbq/​roast place and a noodle and congee shop. It is also situated in this peculiar Hong Kong street inside the Jurong Point Mall. Not sure who or why someone came up with the idea of recreating a HK street complete with flashing neon light signs. To me it looks more like shenzhen with all its tackiness but it is interesting to see how Singaporeans view HK?
There was a short line when we arrived so I guess this place is quite popular? Even though there are 4 different eating space in the restaurant, you enter in the same entrance and you can order everything from any corner inside. We were seated in the diner space and the menu looks extensive. I ended up ordering the rice with stewed pork cartilage. My friend had the rice with tofu and roasted pork, which I have to say is as authentic as you can get in terms of HK local fastfood fare and I was excited that I found this dish in Singapore. Well, it turned out that food was only ok, I will give it a passing grade. The pork cartilage tasted like it was from a pot of cartilage used for cooking soup and then they just added seasoning to it coz the sauce and the meat do not blend, it also has that texture when you cook meat in broth for a long time so I was a bit disappointed. The tofu and roasted pork was better and I guess I will return for that when I have a craving. The milk tea is good and I would recommend that.
On my way up to the restaurant I saw signs of a Korean street and a Japanese street and I wonder what they are like. Reason to go back to Jurong, which is not exactly close to town but was actually a lot quicker on the MRT than you would have imagined, and Jurong Point is right next to the MRT station so do check this out if you find yourself in the west side of the island.
