We are back at Chinatown food complex to try another stall of the steam Song fish head as promised the last round. Two weeks ago, we tried the steam fish head from HK Mong Kok Kui Ji kitchen.
This time, we decided to go for the stall just by the escalator entrance which has won several culinary awards, Huan Xi Canton cuisine.
The complex wasn't as crowded on a Sat. There are ample seats around today and we managed to get a seat just right in front of the stall. We ordered the steam song fish head with cai poh, fried nai bai and king pork ribs.
The food was served within 10 mins. The fish portion was bigger than the previous round and gravy much thicker. The cai poh was very fragrantly fried with pork lard but it still failed to cover the mud taste of the fish.
It was rather strong in mud taste, especially near the stomach area. We had to eat it with lots of cai poh to mask out the taste a little.
The fried nai bai on the other hand was very good. Fried with garlic and wolfberries, it's a dish good enough to go with rice.
The king pork ribs was well done as well. Lean fried pork ribs with sweet and sour sauce. Portion was generous. The meat was tender and juicy.
In terms of fish, HK Mong Kok Kui Ji kitchen definitely surpass that of Huan Xi Canton cuisine. But the vegetable and other dishes from Huan Xi are better.
Two down and many more stalls to go. We will be back to compare the rest.
