Since my last visit, this place has been given a REAL British facelift it deserves!!
There's no excuse to miss it now because it's the most outstanding restaurant at the cooked food market!!
Lovely Royal Mail post box.
[Pretending to post a letter]
Fish Collection times aka Opening Times!!
Glamourous red phone box with mirrored glass panes.
A touch of royalty!
Typical UK brick walls and cloudy blue skies.
K's British Restaurant is located in Mui Wo's cooked food market which is by the sea with great seaviews depending on where you are sitting.
Shoals of fish on the sea blue wall.
This paragraph is quoted from Prestige magazine which was ABSOLUTELY spot on:
Lovers of fish and chips in Hong Kong had much to mourn about when the last purveyor of the pukka item in Town, the chippy closed a year ago or so.
Illuminated cloudy blue skies.
Overall the new look is good, but it was slightly dim for dining.
Thankfully, K's British Restaurant is here to the rescue!!!
This new STAR is going to bring tourism to Mui Wo or send expats moving there!
The traffic and accessibility is much better than Sai Kung.
Well at least I am tempted.....
THIS PLACE IS TRULY BRITISH AND THIS IS MY FOURTH VISIT!!
PLEASE CARRY ON READING IF YOUR AN EXPAT BECAUSE YOU WON'T APPRECIATE THESE PERFECT CHIPPIE CHIPS IF UR NOT ENGLISH BECAUSE THE HONGKIE STYLE CHIPS ARE BURNT!
THERE IS ALSO HEINZ KETCHUP AND MALT VINEGAR ON THE TABLES.

Cod and chips:
OMG! The battered cod and chips were just OMG!
The cod was succulent and flakey with a uniform batter and the chips were sensational!
This is how a model chip should be, it was fat, with a shiny surface and when you bite into it, the inside of the chip was silky just like molten starchy lava.
Basically the texture of the starchy lava was like velvety thick cream with a slighty chewy soft chip skin.
Eating it piping hot when it is just served tastes the best, if you leave it for a while, the chips get a little bit firmer.
You could smell the gorgeous spud smell just like baked potatoes when it was just served.

Pollock and chips:
Pollock is another fish similar to cod, it is used in fish fingers and fish burgers.
The fried pollock was also to die for, it was different to the cod because the texture of this fish is much softer and silkier and melts in your mouth!

Tea:
Since my last visit, you can now choose between breakfast tea and Earl Grey.
The tea was served in a Chinese tea pot and the cups they used were those thick rimmed tea cups that you get in chaa chan tengs.
You will notice a difference if your used to thin rimmed cups.
Somehow they reminded me of the cups at BHS and Littlewood's cafeteria except the shape of the cup was different.
But anyway, it was British tea so it was the perfect quencher to go with fish and chips.

Apple pie with REAL Bird's eye custard:
I was elated to see custard on the menu.
Custard is so simple to make and I don't know why places don't have REAL custard.
Normally I have custard with pudding or on its own, but here it is served with fresh apple pie which is made by them.
It was quite nice but I prefer sour apples.

Anyway, I am now hooked on their food and I wish they would open another branch in Central.
Ok, there is HOOKED on Caine Road, but they don't serve these chips and if the ferry was cheaper, I would be here more often!
