[2025 Hong Kong Restaurant] Travel Guide for Hing Kee Restaurant (Updated May)

Hing Kee Claypot Rice, also known as “Bo Jai Fan” (煲仔飯) in Cantonese, is a beloved local dish that warms hearts. Bo Jai Fan translates to “rice in a small claypot.” Hing Kee is a renowned restaurant with six branches around Temple Street in Hong Kong. They understand that waiting in long queues isn’t ideal, so they offer a street-vibe dining experience. Hing Kee insists on using charcoal fire for that authentic smoky aroma. Their menu boasts over 70 options, priced between $50 and $100. We tried the Claypot Rice with Eel. The intense smoky aroma makes this dish extra comforting. A hit among foreigners, don’t forget to mix it with dark soy sauce on the table. Dig deep for the crispy layer of rice at the bottom—it’s a sign of quality claypot rice! Bonus Dish: Deep-Fried Oyster Omelette (煎蠔餅). Hing Kee’s oyster omelette is crusty and crunchy on the outside, soft and tender inside. The oysters add sweetness, and dipping it in fish sauce bursts with flavors. Enjoy the warmth and flavors of Hing Kee Claypot Rice! #foodies #hongkongtravelguide

#2月好地方2025 Hing Kee Claypot Rice is a famous local food restaurant in Hong Kong, famous for its traditional charcoal stove claypot rice. Founded in Temple Street, Hing Kee attracts countless diners with its fragrant and crispy clay pot rice. The store uses high-quality ingredients such as chicken, cured meat, spare ribs, etc., paired with secret soy sauce, so that every bite of rice is full of rich flavor. In addition to clay pot rice, the store also serves authentic Hong Kong-style delicacies such as soup and stir-fry. Whether local residents or tourists, they will come here to taste this unique Hong Kong flavor! Well worth a try!

Located near Yau Ma Tei MTR station, Hing Kee Claypot Rice not only has a wide variety of dishes but also affordable prices. The claypot rice is cooked in a charcoal stove, so it is quite popular among locals and tourists. No wonder the restaurant was still packed when we visited at around 11pm, and the seats near the third storefront were still full. We ordered a clay pot rice with Chinese sausage and chicken 🍗. It was our first time eating clay pot rice and I thought it was very special. When the clay pot rice is served, the waiter will bring it to the table in a clay pot and leave the lid on the pot to let the heat stay in the pot. Customers have to be careful of the burns when they open the lid. I like to keep the lid on for a little longer so that the bottom of the rice can become crusty. After opening the lid of the pot, add the clay pot rice soy sauce or fish sauce placed on the table. You can adjust the saltiness yourself. The clerk said that you don’t need to add too much fish sauce, just a little bit to enhance the flavor. Then stir it and you can enjoy the food. The chicken is very tender, which contrasts with the Chinese sausage. It is very delicious when paired with the salty and fragrant rice. The green onions on the clay pot rice also have a finishing touch, making people unable to stop eating one bite after another. In addition, the portion is also very large, and the overall meal is very filling. It is recommended that two girls order one portion!

Every year there is a time when I think of clay pot rice! Although the clay pot rice I ate most often in the past winter was takeout from fast food chains, I still want to try the authentic one! @hingkeehk Claypot rice with eel oil and duck $120 Hing Kee Oyster Pancake $50 (small) $95 (large) I really wanted to eat white eel clay pot rice, and I chose fried duck spleen, which I don’t have many opportunities to eat at home, so this combination of clay pot rice came about! In fact, the ingredients here are so varied that you can find almost any combination you want to eat. The clay pot rice takes time to make but it is served faster than you think! The first thing to do is of course to open the lid, pour a layer of sweet soy sauce and then cook for three minutes to allow the rice to form a crispy crust! The amount of ingredients is not small, the white eel is plump and rich in fish oil but not too fishy, ​​and it is cut thickly without too many fish bones, so it is very delicious! The duck is lean and there is not much oil, which is a pity to squeeze out. The saltiness is moderate. If it had more oil and was eaten with rice, it would be a perfect match! The rice is dry enough, and the happiest thing is to be lucky enough to create golden rice crust! The duck is still a bit salty even though I didn’t add too much soy sauce, but it’s just enough to create the flavor! Another popular dish that rivals the waiting time for making clay pot rice is the fried oyster cake. Almost every customer will order it. A large portion is ordered for many people to share; a small portion is also enough for a small group of people. Although it is a small portion, it still comes with two large portions! The oyster cake is fried in the upper half, which makes it golden and crispy. The batter is not too thick, and the oysters are fresh and large in size. However, the egg flavor is lacking and the oysters are small in quantity. It tastes a bit oily, which is a bit of a pity. This store has been open in Yau Ma Tei for many years, and there are 5 branches in just one short street! Although there are so many stores that you shouldn't have to worry about not having a seat, there are still long queues during dinner time. Most of them are tourists from different places. This is because the store has received a lot of media coverage and many YouTubers have visited to film over the years, making it popular among foreign tourists! At one of the branches I visited that night, the ratio of local to out-of-town customers was about 3:7! As for whether it is really delicious, it depends on personal opinion. The location is super convenient. People like me who want to eat occasionally but don't want to go through too much trouble and just want to satisfy their cravings will choose this place #Yau Ma Tei #Yau Ma Tei Food #Hong Kong Food #Hong Kong Check-in #Hong Kong Specialties #Hong Kong Food Map #Claypot Rice #Oyster Cake #White Eel #Oil Duck #Scorched Rice #Oyster Cake #Raw Oysters #Soy Sauce #Sausage #Preserved Meat

#WinHong Kongticket I want to go to Hong Kong to eat Hong Kong restaurants, watch the night view, and go to Disneyland! 【Hing Kee Claypot Rice】 The beef at Hing Kee Claypot Rice is so delicious! The meat is very tender and the marinade is very flavorful. Paired with the unique steam of claypot rice and the crispy texture of crispy rice, it’s a perfect combination. We arrived at about 7pm, and there was already a long line of people. The queue was orderly. The store will arrange seats as soon as there are vacancies, and the table turnover rate is very fast. After ordering the meal, I waited for a while. The clay pot rice was freshly made one by one in a clay pot on the stove outside. After the claypot rice arrived, we followed the example of the locals next door and added the seasonings on the table, then closed the lid and waited for the sauce to blend with the rice and the temperature to rise, allowing the bottom layer to form crispy rice. After opening the lid, the beef sauce permeates the rice grains, making every bite full of rich flavor. Moreover, the portion of the meat slices is generous, making it very satisfying. The entire meal was seasoned just right without being overly greasy or salty, making it enjoyable to eat. #兴记 Claypot Rice #Hong Kong local food #Yau Ma Tei #粿巴

#WinHongKongTickets You can’t miss the clay pot rice at Temple Street. There are 5 shops in a row of Xingji Restaurant. There are so many flavors of clay pot rice that people with choice paralysis really don’t know where to start. In addition to clay pot rice, there are many dishes to choose from. Xingji’s clay pot rice is made using traditional methods. Raw rice and ingredients are placed in a clay pot and grilled over charcoal fire, allowing the rice to be evenly heated and adding to its aroma. Because they are made one by one, you need to wait for some time after placing the order. Seeing that most of the customers around us ordered fried oyster pancakes, we followed suit and ordered one. Oysters are what we call oysters, but they are completely different from oyster omelette. The batter with oysters is fried crispy and tastes delicious, but it is recommended to eat it as soon as possible after it is served, as it will become oily after cooling down. In addition to Xing Ji, Four Seasons Clay Pot Rice is also very famous in Temple Street. I have put Four Seasons Clay Pot Rice on my wish list and will definitely try it next time I go to Temple Street. #HongKongTravel #HongKongFood #HongKongFoodRecommendations #YauMaTeiFood #TempleStreetFood #TempleStreet #ClaypotRice #HingKeeClaypotRice
