Overview: Tucked away in the bustling hawkers' streets of Central, this modest eatery has become my regular pit-stop for heartwarming soup dishes.
The Good:
Authentic Flavors: Each dish, meticulously made-to-order, exudes freshness and arrives piping hot at your table. The flavors are genuine, with a notable absence of excessive MSG.
Winter Delight: Nothing beats the warmth of their soup on a cold winter day. On a recent visit during a chilly, wet day, the hot soup proved to be a soothing balm for the soul, warming me from the inside out.
Affordability: The pricing is a standout feature. For instance, the savory pig's organs soup complemented with rice is a steal at just HK$50.
The Not-so-good:
Summer Visits: While the winter experience is delightful, the sweltering Hong Kong summers make the hot soup less appealing.
Cleanliness Concerns: The street environment leans towards the unkempt side, which might be off-putting for some. While the dishes are a culinary delight, the surroundings could do with a bit of sprucing up.
Service: As is common in many hawkers' stalls, don't walk in expecting service with a smile or any service, for that matter. The focus here is on quick, tasty meals, not the dining experience.
Special Mention: The mixed pig’s organs combined with fish balls & vegetables is a delightful concoction – flavorful yet not overpowering, striking a delicate balance.
Conclusion: If you're seeking an authentic taste of Hong Kong's street food and don't mind the no-frills environment, this eatery is worth a visit. For those who prioritize ambiance, it might be a bit of a stretch. But for the food, especially during the winter, it's a definite thumbs up!
