Every
time I visit Keung Kee, I would try Glutinous rice, which is the most
delicious item in Keung Kee and is also one of the several most
delicious glutinous rice I ever tried in Hong Kong. For each bowl of
rice, there must be a piece of mushroom, some dry shrimps and some
sliced preserved Chinese sausage. You may request an extra piece of
Chinese sausage or liver sausage at $5 each. The rice is served to us in
the optimal status; it is fully cooked but not too sticky. In addition
to the soy sauce, this results in a bowl of non-resistible glutinous
rice . One thing to speak ill of Keung Kee is that the rice is sometimes
a bit oily, and this is understandable and should be accepted.
Besides,
you may also try “braised fried pigskin and radish in brown sauce” .
Fried pigskin is a typical Chinese food. You may also request fried fish
ball in sauce. However, there is no need to try dessert and fried
noodle, the quality is below average. You may try if you do not
believe.
Next time, if you want to try typical local Chinese food and you are in Wanchai at night, Keung Kee is a good choice.
