I didn't hesitate to choose a restaurant in Hong Kong for the New Year's Eve dinner. I directly ordered Good Wine and Good Cai. I like its quality, environment, taste, ingredients, and service. I didn't consider other restaurants at all. They confirmed with me in advance on WhatsApp what dishes I must eat, and also sent me a wine list. I emphasized that the three dishes of ginseng, fish maw, and pig's trotter must be served. The special stomach-warming soup, a small bowl, with two small seasonal dishes, immediately opened the taste buds. The first dish is the fortune ball, which is actually a fried meat ball. The meat sauce is mixed with seaweed and decorated with two strands of green onions. The fried meat ball is delicious and not greasy, but the taste is just average and not so eye-catching. The second dish is the signature crispy ginseng, one of the protagonists. The fried ginseng has a thin layer of unusually crispy on the outside, and the ginseng inside has changed from the crispness of the past to a dense taste. It may be that I have never eaten ginseng cooked this way in other places. Every time I come here, I have to sigh. The third dish is baked fish maw, which is thick and rich, made with top-quality ingredients, and cooked in the simplest way. The baked soup is extremely thick, and the fish maw is sticky. Every bite is full of collagen. After the two main dishes, the green olive conch soup is served. The conch slices in the soup are also large and thick, and paired with green olives, it is delicious but not greasy. I drink it up quickly. The fifth dish is crispy Spanish pork knuckle, which is also a dish I love very much. The skin is crispy and the meat inside is dense. I don’t know how it is made, and some bones are already soft. My lips are always sticky when eating this dish. It’s so happy. The sixth dish is fragrant wolfberry leaves, paired with some mushrooms. The method is simple and original. The main dish is the signature hot and sour noodles. There are no other toppings except some chopped green onions. The sour taste is in place, but the spiciness is still a little lacking. In addition, the flat machine noodles have lost that kind of strength. I have been to Haojiuhaocai several times and always feel that the staple food of noodles is average compared to other dishes. Finally, there is the dessert, brown sugar cake with pistachio peach gum, pistachio mousse soaked in peach gum, sweet but not greasy, slightly cold, seemingly bland, but it is endless aftertaste. The only dissatisfaction tonight is that after opening a bottle of good red wine that I need to decant, they directly poured it into the wine glass. This action scared me, but fortunately the manager greeted us and chatted with us later that night. The enthusiastic attitude made me think that the service here is still okay. I have eaten at Haojiuhaocai many times. The dishes have not changed much, but I will miss these original flavors after a while. The shape and arrangement of each dish are mainly simple, and the ingredients are good, needless to say, the taste is mainly to restore the original taste of the food, without so many unreal fancy. The environment is even more loved. Tonight is New Year's Eve. I didn't sit in a private room, but the whole restaurant was still very quiet. The quality of diners at each table is also very high. It is really very comfortable to eat. I've always liked it here, and I continue to recommend it.
Although the overall structure is the same as the one I had in Guangzhou two years ago, the taste is more refined, the environment is very good, the private room is large and comfortable, it deserves the name of the rich canteen, thumbs up
This business Chinese restaurant serves smuggled dishes. There is no ordering system and no set prices. Lunch is $1,000 per person. There are six courses from appetizer to dessert. The dishes are light and small, without any fancy presentation. The taste focuses on the original flavor of the ingredients. After finishing the entire menu, you should think about what to have for afternoon tea. The restaurant has a noble design and a spacious environment suitable for doing business. Even David Beckham has come here for dinner. Appetizers - two small seasonal dishes of stomach-warming soup Nothing special, the two small appetizers are just ordinary pickled vegetables and sweet pumpkin soup. Appetizer - Fried fish maw with egg white The egg white is mixed with the fish maw and chopped into small pieces, which is thin and fragrant. The main dish - stewed conch with green olives Coming to the third dish, I finally felt a little relieved. The snail heads are rich and soft. The soup is sweet and not greasy. Supporting role - Crispy pork knuckle This dish shows real skill. The pork knuckle is stewed in a pressure cooker until it is soft. The high temperature forces out all the oil, and the rest is full of collagen. And after soaking in the broth for a day and a night, it absorbs all the essence and has a rich taste. Roast the pork skin just before eating to make it crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Worth a praise! Main dish - Fried rice with preserved radish Fried in broth, the rice grains are distinct and moist, but the aroma of preserved radish is not palatable. The portion was too small, and even as the last dish before dessert, I still didn’t feel full. Desserts—Strawberry milk mousse/ Pan-fried water chestnut cake The pan-fried water chestnut cake is of average restaurant quality. It was a bit out of place to end a Chinese restaurant meal with strawberry milk mousse. The texture of the milk mousse was like melted ice cream and the taste was sweet, which was a bit disappointing.
The dishes are exquisite and small, and I feel that they are only enough to taste them. The amount of staple food is very mini. The menu is not known until the day. The environment is a plus, but it is located in a business building, which is more suitable for business people to discuss business. There are no people other than business people dining here. I guess my presence is an accident. Lunch is 1000 Hong Kong dollars + service charge 15[%].
My best friend strongly recommended: You will like this restaurant as soon as you see its name. Indeed. Those who know me well. I have never been there, but it is said to be a masterpiece of a master. My friend said that one person spent nearly 3,000 yuan on it, but in the end, he was not full. The grass that was about to break through the ground was sprayed with herbicide in seconds.
