Restaurant Review: Shung Hing Chiu Chow Restaurant 尚興潮州飯店

I met up with a few ex-coworkers from STAR to try a Chiu Chow restaurant in Sheung Wang. It's right on 29 Queen's Road West, one of the main streets running along Hong Kong island so it's hard to miss.

The food there was excellent and very reasonably priced (came out to be about HK$200 per person).

The meal started with tea poured into small teacups, peanuts and pickled vegetables. Once we ordered, the dishes came pouring out swiftly. Here's some of the stuff we ordered:

  • 潮州鹵水鵝 Duck meat with duck liver and intestines (鵝珍肝+ 鵝腸), tofu, and squid 墨魚 - Meat was juicy and flavorful.
  • 凍蟹 - Cold crab - the crab was fresh and its meat was nice and sweet
  • Winter melon soup
  • 糖醋麵 - Sugar Vinegar Noodles
  • 芋蓉鴨 - Taro with duck - my favorite dish! Taro was made crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
  • 蠔餅 - oyster and seafood pancake
  • A couple of vegetable dishes
  • Sugar-coated Taro dessert
  • 清心綠豆爽 - Heart of Green Bean dessert soup so it's actually yellow colored. This was compliments of the house.



Everything was delicious and must-haves in my book.

The atmosphere here is boisterous so don't expect to be able to have intimate conversations. But it's part of the fun in eating at a local Hong Kong restaurant.
