Located on the roadside of Sai Ying Pun in Sai Wan, Chow Kee Dim Sum is very unobtrusive, and it does not seem to be competitive with the foreign restaurants next to it, but it has the most famous Western toast in Hong Kong. Sai Ying Pun is a traditional old area in Hong Kong with a serious aging population. The living environment here is better than Kowloon, and the cost of living is lower. Although the name of Zhouji Dim Sum contains the word dim sum, it is an out-and-out tea restaurant.
Custard quicksand toast is a specialty dish of Zhou Kee, and the surface of the toast will sizzle after it is roasted. Unlike regular toast, this toast is not coated with milk honey and looks just like regular toast. When you cut it, the quicksand full of egg fragrance gushes out like opening the door to a new world, full of novelty. Traditional quicksand tastes so sweet that it is very greasy, and this custard quicksand toast can taste slightly larger pieces of salted eggs, and the saltiness control is just right, and the taste is unforgettable. If you don't like sweets, there is another sesame shrimp toast, which is covered with sesame seeds and stuffed with shrimp meat in the middle, which is refreshing and full of sesame flavor, which will definitely satisfy the taste buds of people who don't love sweets.
In addition, Zhou Kee Dim Sum introduces new limited flavors every year according to different festivals, such as strawberry flavor at Christmas, and taro and toast are also popular for daily sales. It is important to note that instead of cutting the traditional toast in four or nine directions, it is better to cut the toast diagonally into triangles, so that the quicksand does not easily flow onto the plate. If you have to cut it into small pieces, be sure to dip the quicksand on a plate before eating.
Making a difference in the same dishes in many tea restaurants is the magic weapon of Zhou Ji. Spring breeze sausage is a very common dish, which is wrapped in a layer of rice rolls. Zhou Ji stuffed the spring breeze sausage with prawns, and the first thing I felt when I bit into it was the tenderness of the rice rolls, then the crunchyness of the spring rolls, and finally the refreshing elasticity of the fresh shrimp, which was very layered.
The decoration of Zhou Kee dim sum is not superior, but the dining environment is relatively clean and comfortable. There are fewer waiters, but the service is not discounted. Since the advent of the quicksand toast, many tourists have come here, and there are many office buildings around, so there will inevitably be a long queue at every meal, so it is recommended to arrive at the store at a staggered peak.
