One should try Pestigio (or something like that) for the 無骨海南雞飯 on 普通道 at 西貢 immediately before 滿記 from Kowloon.

But my favoite there is the 龍躉魚頭湯米 and Laksa。

Haha..thanks for the suggestion.
I will go Sai Kung swim tomorrow. So I may take a look at this one.

Mind you this place is not cheap on Sat. & Sun.  But I think it's worth it.  You pay a little more but it's in a nice & quiet environment.

Hehe.  I might run into you tomorrow.  If you see an old man dining alone, that's probably me ah.

This place might be difficult to find.  It's on Moon Kee's side, about 20 yards towards Kowloon.

I went there yesterday afternoon. I was so tired after swam & played w/ my dog.
This place provided a quite, pleasant and warm feeling. The woman is friendly.
About the food. The chicken rice is fresh & delicious. To my surprise, the chicken soup w/ an abalone is fantastic!

I think it worth the price for both rice & soup, around $140.

Besides, I ordered a fresh fruit salad consisted of fresh green apple, lychee, mango, cherries & shrimp. Not big dish that i found not enough after i finished it. All fresh ingredients and the woman would asked your favor before making it. This is around $100 something.

In short, this is quite a relaxing place for coffee & cake. You would find it comfortable sitting in there listening to music...but the price is comparable to hotel, not cheap!

I went there at 1:30 pm yesterday.  You probably came after I left.

I tossed around the idea of having my favorite 龍躉魚頭湯米 but since I responded to the Hainan Chicken Rice topic here, I thought I should do some due diligence.   At $128, it's not cheap, but some hotel charges $165 (Sheraton), Mandarin probably well closer to $200, and without the abalone.  In fact, Kat once showed me a big abalone that they use as soup base on top of the small abalone that comes with the soup.

I usually come on weekdays during which the Hainan Chicken Rice is around $68 or something (without the abalone of course) and the 龍躉魚頭湯米 is $78.

As expensive as it may sound in terms of %, in absolute $ terms, it's only some $50 - $70 bucks more and you get good food, friendly service and nice enviornment in return.  By comparison, their chicken portion is probably 50% more than that in 勝利小廚。

Did you leave the dog outside?  I think this place is good for dog owners during autumn when you can dine outdoor.

By the way, I very seldom tried the dessert as I think they are too expensive ($40).

Thanks for suggesting this place. I do agree that the chicken rice + soup is worth trying. Can tell the woman did put a lot of effort in it, you may see from the plate, rice bucket, the spoon & soup bowl.... Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of it. Maybe next time.

For the rice noodle, is there a 龍躉魚頭 in it?
I dont mind the fish soup, but i hate seeing the head in my bowl!! So ugly and disgusting...

I intened to take away the rice because sitting outside is hot. I cant even eat there. I asked the woman whether or not I could bring along my dog in the restaurant. She said OK. So we sat and dine in.

I like dessert very much. So I may try sometime.

Ha...you willing to pay $130 for rice but not $40 for a dessert.
I think there should be some good things if they charge you for that $$.

Hey, don't be ridiculous.  For $78 (I only ate this dish during weekday), you won't get a 龍躉 head.  If you are lucky, you just get a little bones here and there.  I guarantee you won't see it in your bowl.

Yeah, you are right.  $40 for a nice dessert is reasonable, relative to a $27 dessert I had at Moon Kee afterwards.  After all, I spent an hour on traffic, $22 on parking, and a long walk from the car park, sweating like hell.

I definitely will have a full meal next time.

You should park in the public carpark close to the restaurant. You go up the slope and will soon find it. Not far, but not many spaces. If you are lucky, you will find one. Try next time...

That car park will be full on a Sunday.   Even on weekdays, I have to be there before 12:30 to find a space.  Very often, I need to park at the Lorry car space.  To play safe, I parked at 翠塘花園。

I am going there tomorrow for lunch, and I will order one without fish bones/head.

It should not be long from that garden. But rather hot walking from there. I am lucky sometime that could park in the carpark up the slope.
If not, I will go direct to the goverment complex. You know that place? There is a library...and the carpark is opened to public (not sure if on weekdays, you need to check). Mind you, the parking space is dame small....you can hardly park if your car is big.

Are you talking about the one where the entrance is next to the Indian restaurant?  I parked there several times but the space is just too small to my liking.  Distance wise, it's not closer to Prestigio than 翠塘花園 where I can go via a shortcut.  The space up the slope is perfect but there's little chance on Sunday.

We changed our mind for today's lunch.  We went to Lardo's at Hang Hau.  This place is the best kept secret ar.

The Hang Hau mini bus (from Choi Hung) terminus is right in front of the restaurant.

What's so good?  I guess it's the ingredients and in fact they also owns a deli at the back of the restaurants, selling high quality deli at reasonable (but not cheap) prices and they are supplier to many 5-star hotels.

I frist walked past this small restaurant 5 years ago and looked at the menu outside.  Oh my God!!  Their prices were expensive considering the decor (I would call them barely comfortable), the neighbourhood....  Not until my friends referred them to me, and I found it very delicious.  And this place is always full, especially during weekends.  Even today when I called at 12:20 for lunch and they said they were full.  My friend this year tried to book a table for NY Eve dinner and they said they had a fixed menu including drinks, and it cost $998.  And it didn't matter, because they were fully booked.  Would you believe a humble restaurant in Hang Hau charges that kind of money and it could be fully booked?

Set lunch Mon - Fri is $65, otherwise, a la carte menu.  Starter around $98 and main $120 - $200 or thereabout.  I might be wrong.  Some people might find it not worth it if you take into account the decor and the location.

The owner is Danish and he won some medals or something.
