tuesday, september 28, 2004this post is filed under Cuisine - Chinese, Location - Hong Kong海都海鲜酒家 - Victoria CityWe didn't leave Harbour City very much during our trip to Hong Kong. There's a lot of places to eat in there... Here is some dim sum from 海都海鲜酒家 (Victoria City Seafood Restaurant).  crispy pork roast goose fried chicken knees thousand year egg steamed shrimp dumplings pan fried rice noodles with xo sauceWe ended up eating not just dim sum dishes I guess. The meats were good... crispy pork was the usual. Roasted goose was as always superior to roast duck. We actually cut it pretty close - this was I think our last chance to eat goose because there were again goose importing troubles. Later in the week, there was no goose to be found anywhere. The chicken knees probably scare a lot of people. They're crunchy, cartilage-y, and very tasty (hey, it's fried after all). Even more scary to many people is the thousand year egg. These are preserved duck eggs, and I guess people consider them an acquired taste. I love them. I probably haven't had a good thousand year egg for like a year, so I welcomed these with great pleasure. You can see the gooeyness in the picture... Simply delicious. The shrimp dumplings were of expected HK dim sum quality - big, plump, juicy shrimp, and nicely textured wrapping. Fried rice noodles with XO sauce is one of my favorite dim sum dishes, and this one was great. Soft, silky, and not stuck together.  steamed pork dumplings with crab roe congee with crabmeat and roeIt was crab season so they had a lot of different crab specials available. We went for the crab roe xiao long bao, which were delicious. They were much more rich than your typical xiao long bao. The roe adds a creamy clog-your-arteries deliciousness. That said, the dumplings themselves weren't quite as well done as at Crystal Jade. The congee was HUGE... They gave us a giant bowl (you know, like when you get soup for a table of 10+ at a Chinese meal) to split among just 4 people (me, Dad, Geoff, Tiff). This was subdivided into 4 also huge bowls (pictured - they're bigger than the picture shows). Congee was great but we were all pretty full and unable to finish even half. Except for my dad. Comments
