Want to experience Hong Kong street food without making a trip
to Hong Kong? Queen Chow
is the place for you! Chefs Patrick Friesen and Christopher Hogarth
make regular trips to Hong Kong to absorb the essence and spirit of Hong Kong street
food. They bring locally inspired dishes to our tables in
Oueen’s Hotel in Enmore.
Queen Chow Steamed Dim Sum Platter $32 |
Xiao long bao: This dumpling is pinched together to seal the top which creates a cascade of ripples. The inside is filled with minced pork and soup. Be careful when taking your first bite as it is very hot. Personally I found the pork had a slight odor, which is a minus.
Scallop dumpling: A generous amount of prawns were used in the dumpling, topped with a slice of scallop. The dumplings are cooked perfectly, the scallops and prawns complement each other.
Jade dumpling: I think spinach was the only ingredient used in the filling, taste wise it was good but could be more interesting.
Fungi dumpling: This dumpling is filled with mixed mushrooms, a small dumpling that is packed with flavours.
Chong Qing hot and numbing chicken wings $18 |
Stir fried milk, prawns, prawn roe, tobiko, fried bread stick $24 |
Honey glazed pork spareribs $21 |
We really wanted the spareribs because the pork neck looked like typical char siu that you can get elsewhere, so we talked to a girl and told her about the mix up. She saw the pork neck and said "that's the honey glazed pork neck" and said she will take it back to the kitchen. Everyone makes mistakes, the guy could have simply apologised and taken the dish back, it wasn't even his fault the order got mixed up.
Luckily we stayed with the spareribs, the meat and fat ratio was just right. When you bite into the meat it is tender and juicy, with no impression of greasiness. A succulent dish for sure, highly recommended!
For dessert we ordered the forgotten koi fish in the frozen pond and coffee milk tea. The Chinese translation for these two dishes on the menu were both slightly off, which turned out kind of funny if you can read Chinese.
The forgotten koi fish in the frozen pond $15 |
Coffee milk tea $15 |
All the dishes were satisfying for the taste buds. We were most impressed with the desserts and it was hard to pick which one we liked better, so I voted for the coffee milk tea and Piggy voted for the forgotten koi fish in the frozen pond.
