Yes, I am one of those people who sees a goose waddling around a park and thinks 'Dinner!' But then again, so are the 7 million Hong Kong locals around me.
Last week, we happened to be in the Sha Tin area, so drove over to Tai Wai for dinner (or more accurately a feast as is often the case when my family gets together) at Sun Keung Kee.
Sun Keung Kee is well-known amongst locals for its roasted goose and chicken congee. The chicken congee was quite flavoursome although the goose was a little too fatty for my liking.
No need to be alarmed if, like us, during the course of your dinner you hear a Cantonese-speaking voice booming several times over the loudspeaker system. They are merely announcing to all customers what dishes have just sold out.
The Eight Treasures Winter Melon Urn (八寶冬瓜盅) is another popular Chinese dish and is so-named for its eight signature ingredients including prawn, crab and ham. It is also unique in that it is served in a hollowed-out winter melon that has been double-steamed. Perfectly refreshing for these hot summer nights.
In terms of the other dishes we had, the white cut chicken and the singaporean fried noodles were surprisingly delicious, although the crab congee was rather bland and disappointing. I suppose that what we were hoping for (but didn't get) was actually crab roe congee. But, well, I guess that will just have to be another meal.
Sun Keung Kee is located at Shop 47 G/F Holford Garden 2 Chik Wan St, Tai Wai.
