Shui Wah Restaurant, Fa Yuen Street

We decided to have breakfast at Shui Wah restaurant today.

The locals here seem to love eating instant noodles and ham the whole day. Paired with eggs ,toast and ham as well as other combinations later in the day.

As we were not keen on the noodles we requested for a set without it.

I got this after much difficulty getting my message across to the extremely patient and helpful waiter.

Looks like an stingray omelette in flight with two small bra cones on top .

Some swift surgery to expell the contents.....ham..ham..ham...and more ham.

Aiya, I only like french ham nothing else.

Didn't I hear him say this was a Ham Sandwich ?

Don't really like this as the bread roll is too hard, the butter or margarine is not fragrant and the egg ordinary like a flat piece of fried plastic with not much flavouring while the ham tastes like what we can get back home from supermarket delis that sell the lowest priced ham cuts.

He gets something that is not on the menu. Breaded fish fillet.
Damnit. This is really tasty and nice although very thin. Didn't try the bacon nor the tartar sauce. Stole lots of this off his plate.

Till he had to call for a second plate. This time a slight variation from the first. Eggs scrambled (that look scrambled to you ?) and with a sausage instead.

Look at the fish. Split into 2. Perhaps not enough to go around yet they obliged us anyway.

Bill time . Say what ?

Tsui Wah Restaurant , Lai Yip Street

Tsui Wah and Shui Wah are 2 different restaurants although they may sound the same.

This is another famous restaurant which I tried for the first time . I loved the food here so much I ended up patronising it every day that I was here on holiday.

As with almost every good, average priced makan place here, again, we had to line up to get in.

Nobody seems to mind the scaffolding.

See ? Packed to the brim.  Full house. Amazing how the staff fits everyone in .

Look at the amount of outlets they have scattered all over Hong Kong, Macau and China.

At first I was a bit miffed that they recommended the Malaysian curry to us.

Feeling rather haughty we went ahead and ordered the beef with rice just to see why it was a bestseller here.

The beef comprised of tender meat,brisket and tendon, while the curry was different but in a good mouthwatering way.

He tried to recall and said that it reminds him of Ayam brand chicken curry.

Frankly, it's mildly hot, builds up slowly and is worth a try at least once.

The instant I sunk my teeth into this chicken, I made up my mind to come here for a daily fix. The skin is so smooth and melt in your mouth silky, it's yellow and I could taste a hint of rock salt on top.

The dips were tasty even the thick soya sauce. The sliced vegies were sweet pickles ( I have eaten something similar in Balakong before) , the rice is fluffy while they change the soup serving everyday.

Delicious !

Bowl of sui kau dumplings. Although quite gigantic and packed with ingredients this was ok only . Didn't feel inspired enough to repeat this on the other times that we came.

He fell head over heels in love with their fishball noodle soup.

And ended up eating this each time I returned for the chicken rice.

Their rich milk tea too is the best.

A lip smacking, satisfying experience just like in the cute picture.

Bill.

Worth every cent.
