It's our fourth visit to Disneyland Hong Kong this month. I think we should be given VIP status right about now.
Right before the meal, we all agreed to just order some simple dishes to share among the four of us. Nothing fancy or expensive. That would be the game plan tonight.
Braised mock abalone and young cabbages (素鮑片扒娃娃菜) ($148) - I'm not going to say no to starting the meal with something healthy first. This was okay although the mushroom-turn-abalone was slightly disappointing.
Sweet and sour bean curd (糖醋咕嚕豆腐) ($138) - It's getting a little warm this week so a dish with both sweet and sour flavors was right up everyone's alley. A pretty good dish to go with my steamed rice.
Crispy Cantonese chicken with condiments (脆皮一品燒雞) ($168) - Interesting description from the menu there. Did it mean the chicken was from Canton (or Guangdong) or were they referring to the cooking style as Cantonese?
Anyways, love the crispy skin. The chicken itself could have been a little more meaty but pretty tasty without question.
Pan fried minced pork lotus root cake (家鄉煎釀蓮藕餅) ($188) - The star of the evening for me but mom and others would likely dispute that decision. Not the most impressive presentation by any stretch of imagination, but the flavors and textures were both right on the money. Perfect to go with my steamed rice again.
Wok-fried de-boned short ribs with shimeji mushroom (石窩茶樹菇爆牛肋肉) ($198) - For whatever reason, this dish came a lot later than the rest. Another solid dish featuring some seriously delicious shimeji mushrooms and de-boned short ribs. Now, I think I need more steamed rice to finish this off.
For me, this came a close second right behind the previous lotus root cake.
Stewed beef noodles in clear broth (清湯牛肉麵) ($88) - A little something for my little nugget who's been mostly a spectator throughout the night. I was told both the noodle and broth were decent but didn't get the chance to try it out myself.
