Oyster omlette @ Ma Thai

Finally there is some real Asian cuisine in Hang Hau, a suburb part of the Hong Kong offering Malaysian/Thai food.

Originally wanted to try their Laksa and Buk Ku Teh, but I gathered I could try these later as a quick dinner in the future.

There is a wide yet limited range on the menu, a wide selection, but not all available, most probably due to the location, the people in the suburbs will probably choose the basic and ordinary dishes known to them, rather than adventuring on specialised dishes.

Anyway we ordered the dinner for two, which includes a starter platter, soup, choice of 2 mains courses with rice or roti.

Our choices were as follows:
Starter platter
Soup
Scrambled egg with baby oysters
Hainanese chicken
2 x Rices

Some of the staff were quite efficient and ready to explain their dishes and some were just doing their job.

Anyway first to arrive was the Scrambled egg with oysters, very fragrant, and lots of oysters in it. There was a dish of chilli sauce accompanying it too, which went well together, and tasted like the Big elephant brand chilli sauce.

I scoffed the egg with rice as I was hungry, but the order of the dishes arriving was a bit messed up, after stuffing myself with that, I was a little bit full.
I would have preferred to have the appetiser first, which would be more appetising, but the order of the dishes arriving were:
Scrambled eggs with oysters, soup, rice, starter platter and then the chicken.

The soup was placed on top of those artificial heaters, and it was scary, because the little burner kept making crackling and exploding noises, so I sat well away from it.
There were two choices of soup, Tom Yum and Seafood, so I got the seafood, which tasted strong of seaweed.

The starter platter contained thai style chicken feet, crispy roll, prawn cake, and fish cake.
The chicken feet were quite spicy, the prawn cake tasted ok, and the fish cake, I never like due to the herbs in it.

The Hainanese chicken was slightly dry, and the sauces were not as good as other places.

As well as our table, it seemed the scrambled egg with oysters was a popular pick, they were serving many tables with this dish.

But for two people, it was a bit too much, or it may have been just right, if the order of food arrived accordingly. It included a dessert too, which tasted of coconut, and a chewy texture like the chinese desserts. All that food for $202.
