Food & Dining: Chopsticks Kee

Lunch-getters await their seats
Image from Locky's English Playground

The Central lunch adventure with my wife took us to Chopsticks Kee, yet another restaurant with a lot of history like Wah Fung but in a Macau sense. This shop is located right opposite Wah Fung, attracts its customers with its famously cheap cart noodles and maybe the numerous magazines' recommendations as well, as you can see from the "wallpaper" outside the shop.

Sauces, magazines and menus

We got in in about 5 mins of waiting, which was quite quick if you only have 2 people. Those who have 4 or 6 had to wait a long long time. Why?

Kitchen took up 50% of the space, the rest is the aisle and tables

Because the shop is narrow and small, so much that the customers have sit along both sides of the the aisle.

And because of the smallness of this place, if a waitress sees you with nothing on the table, they will ask you if you have finished your food, which was the case right after we sat down. And if they realised you haven't ordered, they will push you to do so. The moment you have finished your food, they will immediately collect the bowls and ask you to pay, leaving you sorry to stay at the table any longer.

Well, you can't complain about that, with all those hungry Centralians waiting for their bites. Don't forget, this is Central, the word "cheap" is almost extinct.

Even more magazines recommendations (and Cantonese jokes) under the table glass
Image from Locky's English Playground

Maybe this is the reason why the restaurant get so many recommendations from the media too. Hm... can you sense why I suddenly say that?

Curry fishball, chicken wings, fish tofu, flat noodles in satay soup with iced lemon Ribena. $35
Image from Locky's English Playground

Here's why. First, my wife ordered curry fish balls, chicken wings, fish tofu with flat noodles in satay soup with iced lemon Ribena, and one of the fish balls was ancient!!!! You can actually see which one from the photo above. That's scary!!! It looks rotten. Okay, fine, you can choose not to eat it, but... okay, okay. Fine! My wife kind of like it.

Beef slices, iceberg lettuce, crunchy tofu skin roll, flat noodles in curry soup with iced lemon Ribena. $35
Image from Locky's English Playground

But not me. I ordered beef slices, iceberg lettuce, crunchy tofu skin roll in flat noodles with curry soup, ended up the curry soup was in fact curry vomit-looking sauce. The fact that it was still tasteless after mixing with the soup made the whole thing even more disappointing. Everything else tasted isolated, nothing seems to match. Nothing in the bowl resonates with one another. It is like a group of 5 fresh musical instrument learners each playing their own practice song simultaneously on the same stage.

Was it because I have made some wrong food choices or was it just me? After my wife couldn't finish her "tasty" noodles, I tried hers and it was still tasteless.

Pork chop bun (soft bread). $14
Image from Locky's English Playground

In order to for me to not feel so disappointment, and also for the fact that I will not be coming back again, we ordered a pork chop bun as the last hope. And guess what?

Image from Locky's English Playground

It's a very small piece of soda water-soaked pork, meaning pink and tasteless, with lots of mustard in it. Instantly, that $30 pork chop bun from Macau's Tai Lei Loi Kee becomes "cheap". You don't remember? Show you here again.

$30 Pork Chop bun
Image from Locky's English Playground

Can you see the size of that pork chop and the deliciousness of it?

You may say, "$35 a bowl of noodles with drink, $14 a pork chop bun, what do you expect?"
True, the food was edible, but after eating, I felt that those expensive food I've had in Central actually worth their price! And that's just sad! Very sad!

My wife actually kept apologising to me after taking me to this place. Of course, I wasn't actually angry and it was not her fault either.

As for the score, it is lowest on the English Playground ever. Sorry about that. "that" refers to the "food I had" though.

Event: Iron Man 3 Hot Toys "Suit Up At Hysan Place"

Mk 8 at the entrance
Image from Locky's English Playground

Some say I am a fan of Iron Man, I'm not. I'm just a fan of Robert Downey Jr.. Then again, Iron Man is probably the only super hero movie I like. Superman, Spiderman, Thor, Hulk, Captain America, Batman, all failed to attract me, but the constantly changing and upgrading of suits, suits me! At the end of the day, I am a person who likes to upgrade myself as well as the software and hardware I own.

Those who likes Iron Man can now go to Hysan Place at Causeway Bay to see both toy-size and 1:1 Iron Man suits till May 12.

Talking about Iron Man suits, when I first saw the costume done by Adam Savage of Mythbusters, I thought it was an incredible job done.

But when I saw this one below, I could immediately tell the difference.

Mk I
Image from Locky's English Playground

But the one Adam made was a costume and he could actually wear it, but this one is for display, so they are not exactly the same.

Mk 2
Image from Locky's English Playground

Mk 2, hm... did it even show up in the movie? Oh yes, it did, but just a small part, when he was flying around in his own house.

Mk 3
Image from Locky's English Playground

And the trailer reminds me that Mk 2 is essentially the same as Mk 3 without the paint.

Mk 4
Image from Locky's English Playground

Mk 5
Image from Locky's English Playground

Mk 6
Image from Locky's English Playground

Mk 4, 5 and 6 appeared in the Iron Man 2. That I never realised.

Mk 7
Image from Locky's English Playground

And of course, Mk 7 was in The Avengers.

All exhibits are hand-made collectible figurines done by local Hong Kong figure-loving company Hot Toys. Despite the company name, these are really more than toys. 

Mk 2
Image from Locky's English Playground

That's because, all these exhibits have movable parts and the suits are made from hundreds of separate pieces assembled together, so while we are taking photos, we can also pay special attentions to the details.

And Tony Stark definitely looks very Robert Downey Jr.-like.

There are also some concept figures on higher floor, so don't miss them because we are too distracted by the large ones on the ground floor.

There isn't much to learn about English here, but it is definitely a great event to warm your cameras up. I will return with my Canon 7D next time, after I have recovered from my flu.

Food & Dining: Wah Fung Since 1941

Stony yet historical Pottinger Street, what's that on the floor?
Image from Locky's English Playground

Some of you might be thinking that Locky's English Playground is turning into a food blog. Well, of course not, it's just that these days I get a couple of half-day off and so I went to have lunch with my wife. Since she works in Central and I know very little about the food there, it is a great chance for me to share my view.

View Larger Map

I must say, Centralians are very lucky to have so many eateries around them, unlike other neighbour districts like Admiralty or Wan Chai. 

Lots of choices, look at the geese!
Image from Locky's English Playground

This time, I come to Wah Fung, a Chinese roast expert since 1941. Yes, it is like Tai Hing, they both sell roasted food, but there are a lot more choices of food here and Wah Fung is not a chain restaurant, just one shop.

Cha-siu-licious!!!!!
Image from Locky's English Playground

Just by looking at the roasted geese, Cha Siu, spare ribs, chicken and squabs and I can tell that you are  already suffering from excessive mouth-watering syndrome.

Menu on the walls with English, no problem for English speakers
Image from Locky's English Playground

An interesting way of promoting their yummy signature dishes is to turn the photos from the menu into wallpaper and stick them outside the shop. Hey, who wouldn't want to try after seeing these fabulous-looking food? But wait, how many times have you tried food that looks good on photos but disgusting on plates? Will this restaurant be yet another addition to the all-show-and-no-go list? Let's see!

Image from Locky's English Playground

There is always a long queue of people during lunch hours, so you must try to avoid the crowd, but if you are going there with a handful of friends, you shouldn't have to wait for too long before getting your table. My wife and I waited for about 5 minutes and we were in.

Image from Locky's English Playground

When the number was called, we were shown our table and was asked to sit next to each other instead of opposite to each other to maximum the efficiency of customer flow, and almost immediately a waiter came to ask us what we wanted to eat. We haven't decided yet, quite obviously as I was still taking photos, and so we asked him to come back later.

Historic photos as menu front cover
Image from Locky's English Playground

The menu was pretty, with all those old photos of the restaurant tiled on the front cover, reminding you that the restaurant has a very good history and their food quality is not to be doubted if they managed to survive in the central business district of Hong Kong.

Pricey food, but only consider as average price in Central
Image from Locky's English Playground

Looking at the price of the food, my Wah Fung survival theory was confirmed -- this is how they manage to survive. Second thought, the food is not really too pricey, as lunches in Central crosses the $100 mark easily, so this place is actually just average price by the Central's standard, plus, they don't charge 10% service charge before 6pm, which is reasonable enough.

soya sauce chicken with spare ribs and rice he fen in soup
Image from Locky's English Playground

After awhile, the food came. My wife ordered the set with lemon tea, soya sauce chicken with spare ribs and rice he fen in soup.

hot milk tea, Cha Siu and roasted pork rice
Image from Locky's English Playground

As for me, I ordered hot milk tea, Cha Siu and roasted pork rice, both I think are $52 exact, which is about the price Tai Hing used to charge a year ago.

Another shot showing the roasted pork and Cha Siu, yellow mustard on a small dish
Image from Locky's English Playground

The taste? Soya sauce chicken was good, the breast was a big tough like most of the restaurants in Hong Kong, can't say it is special in any way. Cha Siu was partly tough, partly tender and partly fat, I dare say that this is the most common part of Cha Siu a thoughtful restaurant will offer if you don't give special request for the lean-ness of meat. The spare ribs and the roasted pork were amazing!!! Tender lean meat, crispy skin, rich but thin layer of lard in between! You'll say "Oh my god!" even if you are an atheist.

Chefs chatting with each other
Image from Locky's English Playground

Interestingly, the chef at the Siu Mei counter are not too busy, and most of the other diners are not enjoying Siu Mei. I wonder if they think the siu mei is actually below their standard, or that they have had siu mei too many times and they all decided to switch to other more homely dishes all on the same day. What I can say is, it was a great dining experience and I hope I can be back for more!

Food: The Search For Great Curry -- Part 3 @ CoCo Ichibanya

Japanese curry pork chop rice with omelette @ CoCo Ichibanya
Image from Locky's English Playground

Japanese curry is a completely different story. It's sweet and only slightly spicy, so spice-lovers like me, Japanese curry shouldn't be my cup of tea, only that it is, surprisingly! I guess that's because sweetness gives people a sense of security and safety by nature, and so when it is mixed with supposedly "aggressive" curry, it feels like mum's cooking.

From another angle, lots of curry
Image from Locky's English Playground

I do cook Japanese curry sometimes, but when I feel tired or lazy, I will pay a visit to Curry House CoCo Ichibanya @ Tai Koo. There are a number of dishes available, but my favourite is still this Japanese curry pork chop with omelette.

Red pickled turnip added
Image from Locky's English Playground

The super smooth and thin omelette might disappoint some diners for its lack of buttery taste, I suppose it's because they didn't use butter, but I like to tell myself that it's not oily so it's healthy to eat. The portion is also enough for a average Asian man, and that's crucial when it comes to a meal that is meant to recharge your energy after a full day's work.

White pork meat with air spaces
Image from Locky's English Playground

I must admit, it is not the best pork chop I've tried, actually, it is not even close to the best (have I mentioned which is the best pork chop I've tried?), but it is already much better than those soda powder-marinated pork chop served in most Hong Kong cha chaan teng. At least, it tastes like pork and it is not tough or overly tender. Also, it's just HK$70 + 10%, shouldn't expect too much.

This is no pepper, it is really spice powder
Image from Locky's English Playground

Overall, it is a great choice for curry! If only they can be more generous with the beef in the curry beef dish then I can have an alternative when I go there next time.

Here's my final scores for this curry dish.
