mmm-yoso!!! is a blog about food and where you have found yourself stopping to spend some time reading on this lovely October day. It's a day when Cathy is writing while Kirk is keeping busy, elsewhere.
Kirk had been here initially in January and returned again a few weeks later with a different experience. The Mister and I decided to try Taste of Hong Kong and see what we thought.
Decades ago, this location was the first restaurant where The Mister and I had Dim Sum (carts and all). The area at the front door had a window counter display case of roast ducks and roast pork; we would stop here for some roasted treats to take home if not going to Woo Chee Chong down the street.
Fried squid appetizer ($8.99). This came out last and was freshly fried to a nice, light crunch, not oily and was an excellent version, with garlic and peppers. This could have been my meal, but we shared.
House Special Pan Fried Rice Noodle ($17.95). Beef, pork, chicken, vegetables, egg, rice noodles all stir fried with a smoky wok hey comfort flavor. A nice plate that we enjoyed.
Combination Platter-Choice of Two roasted meats from the window display at the back of the eating area ($19.95). Roast duck and roast pork belly. Juicy, fatty, crisp skin with moist, flavorful, meaty goodness. Enough left over for a nice dinner.
Prices are in line with other Cantonese style restaurants. Quality is great. Service is excellent. We will try again.
