I have been to a few before, and this time I visited one in Tin Hau that brings the vibe of a 70s dai pai dong hot pot 🍲 restaurant. The entrance features a neon sign and decorations that are becoming rare. Inside, there are iron mailboxes, bamboo baskets, and bamboo sieves used as decorations. Besides the unique decor, the food is also quite good. The Gok Gok Chicken Fish Maw Soup seems to be simmered for a long time. Following the server’s suggestion, start by tasting a bowl of the soup. The chicken 🐓 flavor is rich and not greasy. It comes with half a chicken and fish maw. The chicken meat is tender and not tough. The soft fish maw is full of collagen. The Beef Demon King Platter is a large plate featuring locally hand-cut fatty beef, premium Angus beef neck, beef tongue, hand-cut flank, fresh beef cubes, and black Angus chuck tender. My favorite is the premium Angus beef neck, which is tender with rich marbling. The Scottish razor clams have a crisp and bouncy texture. Following the server’s advice, put the scallops into the pot and blanch for about 2 minutes to avoid them becoming too tough. The homemade four-combo dumplings include fresh shrimp wontons, chive dumplings, coriander 🌿 dumplings, and luncheon meat dumplings. The fresh shrimp wontons contain a large, crunchy shrimp 🍤. The luncheon meat dumplings are quite unique and not commonly found. The handmade five-treasure meatballs include pork balls, fish balls with dried tangerine peel flavor, juicy and flavorful beef balls, chewy cuttlefish balls, and shrimp balls. The fresh fried beancurd skin rolls are very fluffy. The restaurant currently has a limited-time offer: complete all the steps and enjoy beer 🍻 for just $1! —— Sam But Guan 7/F, Shulin Ginza, 68 Electric Road, Tin Hau #ChickenFishMawSoup #AngusBeefNeck #HandCutFattyBeef #HomemadeDumplings #HotPot #DaiBianLu #SamButGuan
