Unique Chiu Chow delights

As I was crossing the road I spotted this obviously Chinese restaurant with a name Nine Kee so I took a closer look out of curiosity.

The stuff displayed at the window was the usual stuff ie duck and cold mullet.
 Then I spotted this fried fish that looked like canned dace fish so I decided to go in and try it.
Found out that the fish was Cutlass fish which is a fish that looks like a long flat eel.
I've actually tried it before at a wet market restaurant that was a gem but closed down during renovation.
It was in soup form with radish and black pepper and it was just amazing but I doubt anyone has heard of because it is a fishermans soup drank by fishermans and their families.
Started off with the Chiuchow fried noodles (chiujauchauminseen) which is a must as not many places serve it.
A must try if you go during the day as it costs HKD96 at night.
The strands of noodles are super thin and it is tossed with spring onions, purple onions and pork.


It was nice and not too salty but the pork wasn't that fresh and there was a slight oil taste from the wok but still acceptable.
Next was the Cutlassfish (ngadaaiyu) which was chewy and crispy.
It was refried so it was hot.
The saltiness of this fish would go well with beer but I ordered plain congee which also went well.

The only complaint was that it was cut into pieces so the bone structure is damaged.
Will be back because the octopus tentacles looked good!
Overall good but a bit pricey!
