At that time, I didn't really explore Chinese BBQ meat so didn't realize I was having such delicious food which I took it for granted.
We had these faan hups at different location and random times and the food was always hot while the meat tasted fresh.
Often, the faanhups would be waiting for a while in the van before we ate them but the rice and meat would still be hot and there wasn't any polystyrene odour in the food.
I only made an effort to find the where they were from when I was leaving that company and found out that it was in some village in Wong Tai Sin.
My Chinese wasn't good back then so it was hard to google it.
A few years later, I got an approximate location but it was not that near the MTR hence I held back going there.
As a foodie for the past ten year, roast meats in Hong Kong whether dine in or takeaways just could not match the roast faan hups at 鳳凰燒臘飯店 Fung Wong Roasted Meat Restaurant.
After googling this shop, I found an article which confirmed that this was the shop I was looking for because he also got the source from a PA at TVB.
Quoted from Weirdjun at Blogspot
"TVB 無論在天涯海角拍戲都要番黎鳳凰村 買飯盒"
Hence true as the crew are always working at different TV Stations.
Basically, the roast pork was damn good because it isn't too sweet or salty with a nice crispy edge.
The scallion oil is also amazing and so is the salted egg.
Anyway, it was comforting that I found it, however dining in a restaurant with strangers is so different to eating out at different locations be it inside/outside from a polystyrene box with a bunch of celebs and crew.
I haven't dined at the TVB Canteen, but this hidden one at Clear Water Bay studios where the cops go for meals is damn good but not sure if it is still around.
The salted meat patty and the pan fried chicken is also recommended but I wonder if it is still around.
The service here is cocky but they deserve to be cocky!
