Great service, but you’ll need to make reservations. This is an institution that used to be behind the Southorn Playground in Wanchai.
Highlights were the :
砵仔焗魚腸 - fragrant tangerine peel, tender fish intestines and liver, custard-like egg, so full of flavour
蝦子柚皮 - not an easy dish to make and takes a lot of time. Pomelo skin needs to be soaked for a long while to remove the bitter taste and 生記 certainly did so. The braising liquid was totally absorbed into the sponge-like pomelo skin, and the prawn roe added the brininess that many Cantonese love.
燒腩仔 - Crispy skin, meat was a good balance between fat and lean. No feeling of oiliness. Flavours were aromatic with hints of five spice, yet not overly salted.
小炒王 - a melting pot stir-fried dish of dried cuttlefish, dried prawns, cashew nuts, Chinese chives, chillies. Many places do this well but this one was elevated with so much more ooomph in flavour and smokiness.
蜆蚧牛肉煲 - never had a dish that combined the heavily fermented clams and beef. In the sizzling claypot, along with the ginger slices and spring onions, it was a true and true Cantonese dish with nostalgic Cantonese flavours from the past.
Great place to eat and will return for sure.
