Laura and I saw this place from the escalator and thought that it looked like a good traditional Chinese restaurant. I was a little worried that it was going to be 'generic', but then again, I wanted to eat from the street vendors. But then again, I think I want my colon intact for the rest of the trip.
After seeing this in the window, I decided that this place was a hidden jem, and a must-try for us. So, in we went!
As Laura is posing with this glass of beer, what you don't see in this photo is that we are freezing our butts off! To go from 100% humidity at 85 degrees F, to 30% humidity at 75 degrees F, I almost died of hypothermia. Being drenched in sweat and humidty, that's a dangerous thing... Anyhow, I did my best to stay warm until the food arrived...
On the left we have Fried Noodles with Chives, the right, Kale with garlic and chili, and in front, we have Mapo Tofu. To put it quite simply, this was the best tasting Chinese food I have EVER eaten. The flavors were well blended, all ingredients fresh, and the kicker?? The Mapo Tofu had large tasty morsels of pork and baby shrimp strewn about. I'm telling you, I'm a foodie, and this was heaven!!! Anytime we come to Hong Kong, this is at the top of our list. Fo shiz...

The one drawback to this restaurant is the toilet... I guess here, we're all squatters... Oh, and if you didn't bring tp, then you're out of luck...
