Taste of Hong Kong (Cathy’s visits)

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.

IMG_0624 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.
IMG_0637 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.
IMG_0637 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.
IMG_0637 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.  
IMG_0637 Prices are in line with other Cantonese style restaurants.  Quality is great.  Service is excellent.  We will try again.

  1. It was a lot of food, Kat; we did have plenty left over for dinner that night. Quality.
    The duck here is quite good, Soo. Oh, but the roast pork…it’s difficult to decide!

  2. Wow — Woo Chee Chong — haven’t thought of that place in like forever. I used to go there daily to pick up fried rice for lunch when I worked in the area. Quite a few different restaurants have been in the Taste of Hong Kong space — my wife and I ate there years ago, back in the dim sum days you mentioned. Hope this latest version sticks.

  3. I was giddy when reading your comment, Peter; you understood my comments without links! Daily stops at WCC made perfect sense back then-there was parking, it was inexpensive and so very good/fresh. Taste of Hong Kong has been good so far.. so bright inside compared to when it was Dim Sum.
    There’s something about the duck here, ST; it’s really good.
