... perhaps our friend hasn't heard of it,
or had intended to mention only one place and not mention the competition.
heh heh heh.

btw,
my best roast duck (goose?), was from a literal hole in the wall, in a palengke in old HK.
the place could fit perhaps six people only, had crude furniture, and had this old chinese gentleman dressed in simple white t-shirt with some holes of age, doing the swinging of the knife. i believe his partner-cashier was the wife.
one colleague liked it so much, he had two entire cooked birds wrapped to be brought home.
i do not know if our local customs agent allowed it in. this was way before the bird flue period.
akuman, i took a birdie bag, for dinner that night in the hotel.
truly, never judge a book by its cover.

Have u tried Chicken Fandian? It has this Sincerity restaurant vibe and the menu are basically the same.

On the contrary we enjoyed Jiang Nan and we have been there thrice. What I like is the mushroom soup and all their balls were delicious cheese balls, lobster balls etc..... Maybe on lean days you could do walkins in Haidilao.

lu gang.
it satisfies me, such that my yearning for an eating trip to HK is sated.
i order hot and sour soup and strawberry or mango smoothie.
my kasamas order the in-between.

Lugang is actually more of Taiwanese cuisine, not HK.

Chinese food connoisseurs, why is Hai Shin Lou so popular?

Never dined there. Ang pinaka authentic chinese resto for me now is East Ocean Palace near MOA. Next is Gloria Maris.

By the way, may 50% off sa Gloria Maris starting tomorrow ang Metrobank credit card.

I finally tried Lugang Cafe. They have unlimited dimsum promo at Ayala Manila Bay. I think it's P688 (not sure 'coz my friend paid). I love that it's order all you can and not a buffet. The food was so good! Although sa XLB, Din Tai Fung pa rin.
