Havent had chicken pot for ages so decided to have it again with local friends.
The restaurant was located in a food alley near the MTR station.

While I dined there, the environment was lively and it was interesting watching the locals and listening to their conversations.

We had some appetizers to begin with.
The golden eggs were divine with creamy molten yolk in the middle and the egg white was golden yellow jelly.

The spices were not too spicy which meant I could enjoy these preserved eggs.
I loved the molten yolk and it was hard to not eat them all.

The pork slices were better than anticipated because they were leaner than the usual ones.

Anyway, had the $148 chicken pot which had half a chicken in it.

After it was cooked, we started on the chicken which was tender and tasty.
I really liked their Chongqing chicken pot recipe because it had all the spices and flavours without being too salty.
During the meal, we had the home made prune drink which had a smoky taste and it was not too sweet.
After all the chicken was finished, we had the pot filled with chicken soup and it was hotpot time.
Here were the items we put in our hotpot.

Fried beancurd skin rolls
vegetables
potato noodles
bamboo piths
beef
tofu
Mixed meatballs

The potato noodles were great because they had a lovely elastic texture and absorbed the delicious flavourful broth.

After a tiring day, celebrity chef suggested to dine here because the fish broth is MSG free and the rice in broth was healthy and filling.
Here was the food we had:

Fishcurd and soft pork bone risotto:
0 讚好

The soft pork bone risotto was amazing because the rice was really tasty and flavoured by the gelatinous pork bones.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

If you're dining alone and feel like having a feast, they have a royal banquet dinner for one so you can feast yourself!

Royal banquet dinner:

There are four main choices:
-Fishcurd, scallop and chicken in fish soup
-Meat and vegetable dumpling, mushrooms in fish soup
-Prawns, soft pork bones with rice noodles.
-Cod, vegetarian abalone with rice noodles.

After choosing the mains, you get to choose one of the following:

魚腐 Fried fish curd with clam sauce:

Shunde style deep fried milk 順德心軟鮮奶:

鎮江排骨 Zhenjiang spare ribs:

酒燒雞翼 chicken wings glazed with wine:

Personally I liked the fried milk because it was crispy with delicious milk curd in the middle and the chicken wings.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

For some people, dining alone is definitely not an option, so they also have the big bowl feast (poon choi) which you can order in advance to eat at home and it is available every day of the year!!!!

The highlight of the big bowl feast is that it comes with fish broth which you put in like a hotpot.

Poon choi:

With all the new items, I can't wait to try the other items.

Previously tried the buffet before and the food was amazing but booking a table is extremely difficult because this place is seriously popular!!
Now they do afternoon buffets at $298 per adult so I tried reserving a table.
Saturdays were quite full so I ended up going on a Sunday.

When I got there, I was greeted with a Cupcake tower:

They also have a noodle station where you pick your noodles and toppings and have it ready at your table by giving them the table number keyring as shown below.

After all that I was full and started on desserts.

Lemon and lime sorbet

The Kaya toast was amazing, it was fluffy and crispy with a delicious kaya paste on top.

Definitely coming here again!!
