Wineshark HK Restaurant Review - Shing Kee

This noodle shop is located in San Po Kong, in an relatively old neighborhood bordering the industrial estates. A very family-style place with a few tables in an open setting, with some plastic curtain now serving as screen to keep the air-con, we came with the expectation of tasting some traditional noodle.

To start I ordered a Pork Meatball with Flat Rice Noodle, while Ivy went for the Beef Offal with Rice Noodle. The Pork Meatball is quite nice, very bouncy and chewy, with the soup having a fair amount of white pepper to make it a bit spicy. On the beef offal, Ivy said the quality was so-so but I saw there were quite a range of different parts.

We also ordered a Blanched Choi Sum without oil and oyster sauce. The veggie is blanched at the right timing to make it crunchy yet soft enough to swallow easily.

Then we ordered the next round which included a Fish Ball for me, and their signature Beef Ball for Ivy. Frankly the fish ball was also only so-so. It is again bouncy but not special at all. For the beef ball, Ivy found them having some 'sand' inside and they were nowhere bouncy as one would expect. Quite a disappointment considering this is their famous offering.

The total bill was $123 which was very reasonably priced, and considering the location and clientele probably it would not be a surprise, but considering I drive all the way after work to have this it would be simply not worth the effort.

My overall rating is 33/100.
