Carrot dumplings @ Star of Canton

Tried the fried prawn wrapped in beancurd skin, it was rather nice, the beancurd skin was light and crispy, fried with clean oil, so no complaint about it.

However the new carrot dumpling looked a bit different from the product shot, it didnt have the flakey skin, but had the dumpling skin, also the fillings inside was not clean and had some sand in it.
It was filled with julienne carrot and white carrot.

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.

Lamb hot pot @ 太興燒味餐廳

As usual, their lamb hotpots are good, rich beancurd sauce with pieces of water chestnuts, mushrooms, dried beancurd and lamb.
There was also a separate plate of lettuce to put in too.

The lamb was quite tender, but a knife and fork was needed, as chopsticks were useless.

The beancurd sauce that was provided was good also, but slightly too sweet.

Shrimp roe beancurd roll @ 陳意齋

Finally found this shop and bought their famous beancurd rolls with shrimp roe.

It was slightly different to how I imagined it to be.
I thought the beancurd roll would be soft, but it turned out to be quite chewy and hard.

While I was eating it, I didnt see much prawn roe until I got to the end.

When I was halfway through it, there was so much prawn roe rolled in the centre, shame I didnt take a picture.
The prawn roe basically tasted like the dried ones sprinkled on noodles and very fishy too.
