Review: Sing Kee Seafood Restaurant - a genuine surprise
New branch of Chinese restaurant chain surprises with its authentic cuisine
We were scepticalwhen we visited Sing Kee Seafood Restaurant on Lyndhurst Terrace because it belongs to a group known more for its collaborations with chef Harlan Goldstein than for its Chinese cuisine.
But our meal there was a very pleasurable surprise.
It was quiet on our visit — probably because this branch of the restaurant is still quite new.
Fried bean curd with spicy salt (HK$98) was sprinkled with sesame seeds and had a thin crust and soft, wobbly interior. We would have preferred the bean curd to be cut into smaller pieces (rather than thick slices), which would have given the dish a higher ratio of the crust.
Home-style lotus root patties (HK$128) were composed of nicely seasoned, roughly chopped minced pork with a crunchy texture from the lotus root. The chef's special salty chicken (HK$210 for half) was a classic dish done very well — the meat was so flavourful it didn't need the dipping sauce.
