小雨天

I remember visiting this place the first time it was not in Kwai Fong, but the original store in central; it was not until I was about to watch a show in Kwai Tsing Theater last year have I been to this branch in Kwai Chung Plaza.
An interesting sight it is for plazas as such; other than the preassigned shops, there are also shelves and racks in the open area where people walk. Not only for vendors selling clothes and stuffs, even restaurants will set up tables and chairs in the open area.
And actually they could definitely use these extra seats as the store is normally fully packed during mealtime. Truth be told, this joint is pretty much like all the other cha chaan teng that serves up various dishes including rice and noodles. Rice sticks and rice in clay pots are two of their specialties if memory serves me right.
Instead of writing on the rice sticks, i think the rice dishes are more worth mentioning, not least they really taste good. To me, every good rice dish has to have a tasty sauce in order to make it good; for this shop, their signature braised chicken wings with mushroom and pork short ribs are so well cooked that the mushrooms are like sponges that absorbs all the flavors of the sauce and when you bite into the mushroom, it literally squirts; whereas the short ribs, they are totally cooked through and the meat just fall off the bones. The best part is the cartilage that turned translucent and imbued with the colors of the soy sauce. Needless to say, the brewing liquid amongst the fluffy rice would make the best possible rice dish; but what makes the rice dish even more special is that they would add pickled vegetables on top of the rice. The slightly tang greens add a sharp note to the rich an mellow sauce, cutting through it and makes the taste buds more alert. (Don’t challenge me, at least that’s how i felt).
There you go a down to earth shop selling exceptional stews, that when serve on rice makes it even better. There is seriously a legit reason for them to set up tables out in the aisle…
