Susan Jung

Tasty Kitchen
Times Tower, 391-407 Jaffe Road, Wan Chai
Tel: 2868 4266
Open: 11am-11pm

Cuisine: Chiu Chow
Price: about HK$300 without drinks or the service charge
Ambience: very noisy because of a private party in the other room.
Recommended dishes: steamed dried abalone with minced pork meat (HK$98 for an order of six, but we asked for a half order, HK$50) was a nice, modern presentation of gee yuk beng (steamed minced pork cake). Pan-seared egg omelette with baby oysters (HK$88) was hot and crisp, with a sufficient amount of plump small oysters. The peppery pig stomach and salted cabbage soup (off-menu, HK$98) was a good dish for a cool evening. Sautéed kale with fried fish (HK$88) was excellent: the vegetable was sweet and the fish gave the dish fragrance. We also liked the fried Chiu Chow noodles with sugar and vinegar (HK$98). Most restaurants pan-fry it on only one side, but here, both sides were crisp.

Pros: the director was the nicest, most accommodating person we've met. We asked for well-known Chiu Chow dishes that were not on the menu, composed our own lo sui (master sauce) plate, and asked for a half portion of one dish. To each request, he'd say he'd try, then came through.
Cons: the lo sui platter (HK$200) was a mixed bag: while the goose intestines were nice and crunchy and the goose meat was succulent, the liver was overcooked, and the bean curd and goose egg hadn't absorbed the sauce.
What else? Tasty Kitchen replaces Ryuichi at this location.
