Review – Hing Kee Restaurant (避風塘興記), Hong Kong


Garlic lovers rejoice! Just make sure you don’t kill anyone with your breath afterwards. This evolved from those restaurants on the sampans in the Causeway Bay typhoon shelter in the 70s and 80s. Most have gone and only a handful have moved onshore and this is our favorite. Signature dish is the Fried Crab with Garlic (金沙炒蟹) and we mean garlic. Boy this is serious business…definitely no vampires here ;-) Order a bowl of plain congee and add a heap of garlic…WOW.

Side note: After dinner, for dessert, head downstairs and turn left for a street-side stall selling mini-eggs (雞蛋仔).

– 15/20 (16/20 after the mini-eggs)
