Shredded chicken in sesame sauce at the market @ 厚興瑜記手撕雞

Found out about this shop from a hardcore fans who just reviewed this place only at the Tsuen Wan branch, initially I was not going to read more about this shop but when I saw the button for other branches I hesitated clicking it because I assumed the other branches would be in the Yuen Long area.

After clicking it, I was surprised to see that there are 21 branches, not only that they have so many branches in China too.
Over half of those branches listed on OpenRice are NEWLY listed too, mostly with 3-4 reviews on it.
There are quite a few with reviews by hardcore fans who joined OR to review this place only!!

It was surprisingly that they have an English menu as well.
Went to the Wan Chai Branch and did not have to queue as the other reviews suggested, but it was early in the day and they don’t sell rice or people could buy it for lunch.
I got some plain rice from another shop to go with it so it was ok.

Anyway, it costs $42 for half a chicken, but you get the bones as well which are placed beneath the chicken meat so half a chicken is only enough for one as there are quite a few bones.
The chicken was topped with lots of sesame and the sesame flavouring was mixed evenly all over the chicken.
It was nice and tender and not dry. However just the bones and chicken feet are really fatty.
The taste was strong but not too salty which was good and I hope they will come up with other flavours as well.

Why was it sprinkled with sesame?

On my first visit I found something in my fried rice but I decided to give it a revisit.
It seems that I was not the only one to find something, ChanJan also found an ant in the drink!

This time I did not find anything extra however I was given an extra topping!

I ordered the fish shaomai which was from their steamer, as with all fish shaomai they put chili oil/sauce or soy sauce on it and the dark red sauce that is used for rice rolls if you ask for it.
Anyway, he asked me if I wanted soy sauce and chili sauce so I said Yes so I was just expecting those two, but before I could even stop him, he had already sprinkled sesame seeds on the fish shaomai.

I have never seen any other shop sprinkle sesame seeds on fish shaomai but only on rice rolls from my experience.

As the taste, the fish shaomai were not hot enough, the sauce was quite nice apart from the sesame seeds.
Although the sauce was plain soy sauce and chili, it had other sauces mixed in which I hope wasnt left over sauces from other stuff!

The price was really expensive as well, usually fish shaomai ranges from $10 to $12 but here it costs $16 not including a drink.
