Chiu Cuisine on Hennessy Road in Wan Chai offers a range of signature dishes from Chiu Chow in a bright and comfortable environment, and at prices that won’t set you back much. Of course, you can order expensive dishes.
The menu is simple but lists everything you would expectat a place specialising in the cuisine of Chiu Chow – a source of heavenly food at the eastern end of China’s Guangdong province.
The goose meat was soft and juicy, flavoured with delicious salty brine that also had a touch of sweetness. The garlic dipping sauce added a hint of sourness that balanced the fat in the goose skin. The bean sprouts underneath the goose meat and the noodles were refreshing, and went well with the meat.
The meat portion was modest, but it can be a nice lunch choice supplemented by a dish of boiled vegetables such as choi sum or gai lan (HK$10).
The waitresses were friendly and happy to introduce the cuisine to us. There’s no service charge.
