Their first branch in Hong Kong is conveniently located in the Lee Theatre Plaza in the heart of Causeway Bay. At least two more branches are already in the works in Diamond Hill and Tsuen Wan.
A little complimentary snack helped to set the tone.
I won't say vegetarian is my favorite cuisine but it's always good to have a meatless meal every now and then. This stir-fried kailan with bean curd skin was a great vegetarian dish that goes so well with rice (6/10).
Okay, so much for my promise of a meatless meal. How could we resist this deep fried duck with yam. It was deep fried to perfection but the layer of yam was a little thicker than expected (5/10).
Next up was Putien sweet and sour pork with lychee. The pork meat was deep fried to a lovely golden brown outside but tender and moist inside. Perfect balance of sweetness and sourness, not bad (6/10).
But the best dish of the night belongs to this Putien cabbage rice. I particularly liked the fact that they have added some oysters into the mix (6.5/10).
Putien rice cake was our lone dessert of the night and probably a dish we could all do without. A classic Putianese snack made with glutinous rice, milled rice powder and fillings of crushed peanuts and soy flour.
Too bad it doesn't have the agreed spongy texture (4/10).
A special round of applause for those responsible for this colorful and informative food menu. Very good job!
