Best rated place for Chinese roast @ 興燒臘飯店 Joy Hing Roasted Meat

For me, I eat mostly western food, so have not made an effort to try it, until recently I saw pictures of chicken feet and beancurd skin.

The beancurd was already a sign saying it will taste good, because Beancurd is tasteless on his own, hence the sauce to the chicken feet must be rich, or else no point to have it in the dish.

I ordered a takeout, because it’s a bit too hectic to eat there, so many people, and you must eat fast. Even for ordering I needed a proper Chinese person with a boisterous voice to order, so I guess this place is really catered for native mother tongues and people who know what they want or they’ll just end up holding the queue.
Even the chinese cutlery I have difficulty, especially those chinese spoons and tacky chopsticks, the spoons are so not ergonomic for me to use.

Anyway back to the gourmet chicken feet, I think take-out is much better, it has more sauce than dine in. It had enough to soak the rice, giving the rice a rich sauce with a slight sticky gelatinous texture from the chicken tendons.
The beancurds in it was also soft, full of flavour and braised long enough.
The chicken feet was not as soft as I wanted, not the usual chicken feet from the dimsum places, also its size is slightly smaller than the normal ones.

The roast pork was ok, i.e. you get what you ask for, lean or not so lean, and the choice was more impressive than the normal roast shop. They offer ducks liver, baby pork legs.
The ginger sping onion sauce was chopped finely and not too salty.

For that price and standard including a drink, no wonder its been there for more than 10 years and so many people queue up for it.

Dim Sum @ 稻香

Hardly go for dim-sum in the morning, especially the noisy environment and having to wait for tables.

Today ordered: spare ribs and chicken feet with rice, mini scallops cheung fun, prawn dumplings, chiu chow dumplings, fake sharks fin soup and ducks feet with fruit peel.

The rice in the pot of ribs n feet were nice and hard, went well with the soya sauce.
The cheung fun was a higher proportion of rice roll pastry than scallops and courgettes, but because the scallops were mini, it was expected.

The chiu chow dumplings were moist and sweet due to the white carrots.

The Prawn dumplings were ok.

The sharks fin soup was good, but the pork spolt it, thats why I usually prefer vegetarian ones, because if the pork isnt fresh it will taste off.

I felt that the red vinegar should only be used with real sharks fin soup rather than the fake ones, because it dosnt go well together, especially when there is shiitake mushrooms presents, the vinegar will make it taste funny.
