Hong Kong's modern Chinese cuisine scene is full of surprises, with many restaurants boasting trendy decor and innovative dishes. This time, we visited "Zi Gei Yan" (translated as "Our People"), a popular Chinese restaurant located in Tsuen Wan Plaza. Their signature dishes are both playful and delicious, making it a perfect spot for dining with friends 😊
Ambiance: The restaurant features modern decor, ideal for Instagram-worthy photos. The seating is spacious, making it suitable for gatherings with friends or family meals. The staff are patient and provide detailed explanations of the dishes.
Signature Dishes 🧑🍳
🌟 Goldfish Swimming (Shrimp Dumpling Soup)
Shrimp dumplings shaped like goldfish are both adorable and appetizing. The translucent skin encases bouncy, sweet shrimp filling. The flavorful soup base adds a unique touch, offering both visual and taste enjoyment.
🌟 Fresh Lychee Balls (Shrimp and Cheese)
A creative fusion dish where lychee encases shrimp and cheese. The crispy exterior contrasts with the gooey cheese and succulent shrimp inside, delivering a delightful surprise.
🌟 Mapo Tofu Xiao Long Bao
A creative combination of xiao long bao and mapo tofu. The dumplings are tender, with a spicy and flavorful broth inside that isn't overly greasy. A must-try for those who can't decide what to order.
🌟 Crispy Fried Pigeon
Freshly fried pigeon with crispy skin and tender meat. The rich aroma of the oil permeates the meat, making each bite juicy and flavorful. Pairing it with salt and pepper enhances the taste even further.
Sour Pickled Fish
Highly recommended! The fish is thick, boneless, and paired with pickled vegetables and potato starch, creating a tangy and appetizing dish. Perfect for hot weather, as it's refreshing and satisfying.
Tips 💁🏻♀️
During peak hours (especially dinner and holidays), it's advisable to make a reservation in advance. Some innovative dishes are available in limited quantities daily, so order early to ensure you get your favorites.
