Hong Kong Restaurant Exploration: Zheng Chao Lou (Wan Chai)

Among Chinese cuisine, I quite like Teochew cuisine, because it is closer to the Cantonese cuisine we often eat. There are seafood in many dishes, and the cooking methods vary from cold and hot dishes, which is very unique. Today I went to [Main Tide Building] in Wan Chai. There are several strings of big red lanterns hanging at the door, which are brightly lit. They stand out in the relatively secluded Shepherd Road in Wan Chai on a holiday night. Entering the restaurant, the square layout is very spacious, mainly wooden decoration, fans, murals, lighting full of Chinese style. Plus, the overall clean and tidy brings a comfortable feeling. When eating Chinese cuisine, you must eat pickled vegetables. [Stewed goose meat] first try the pickled sauce. It has a hint of freshness and sweetness in the salty flavour. The portion of goose meat is quite large, ours is quite plump, most of the plate is fatty meat. However, I couldn't help but eat the goose skin, the oil and meat flavor plus the meat was quite tender, eating it was beautiful goose meat, which made me stop eating. Another must-order is Teochew frozen fish, which Teochew people call "fish rice", which means that fish is as important as rice and is a must-eat at every meal. We ordered [Mayou fish], the fish meat is fresh and rich, and it has a different flavor with bean sauce. In addition, the milky white jelly-like fish fat on the fish body is very special and melts in the mouth. It is quite tasty Finally, there are two hot dishes of oysters. [Shantou Fried Oyster Roast] The egg is full of flavor, you must eat it while it's hot, it will be more crispy; [Meatball Oyster Congee] Teochew congee tastes lighter than Cantonese congee, and you can drink the freshness of the oysters. The portion of two-course oysters is quite large, and they are fresh and sweet, big and affordable.
