Eugene and I have been hitting up Tai Hang on the regular lately. We’ve eaten our way through most of Causeway Bay, so we usually navigate down south-east to the boroughs of Tai Hang/Tin Hau. During our last Tai Hang adventure, we went to this awesome little Dai Pai Dong that looked pretty bumpin’ with tables pouring onto the sidewalk.

We had already eaten a 50 cm hot dog at J-Dog, so we didn’t go to HAM on ordering like we normally do. We also couldn’t read any of the menu considering it was all in Chinese. We pretty much just took a look around us and ordered what other people were ordering. We also asked the lady boss what’s good and she recommended their signature dishes. I definitely want to go back though and try some of their other menu items!

Surprisingly the food was hella legit. One of their signature dishes is a mountain of minced pork topped with a huge salted duck egg yolk. This is a fairly common Chinese dish that I grew up eating, but it’s usually steamed in a dish, packed tightly and clumped together. This was the first time I’ve ever had it prepared in a stack and it was the best I’ve ever had. Another one of their hot items is the “Saliva” Chicken. Sounds delicious right? It’s actually just chicken served cold and marinated with soy sauce, sesame oil, chili oil and other Asian ingredients. It’s tender, smooth and super flavorful. Their barbecued pork scrambled eggs are supposed to be mad good too, but we were SOL and they were sold out. I’ll have to go back for another visit!
