Today I went to Tsim Sha Tsui. I walked along Nathan Road and turned right at Grandville Road, crossing the road via escalator. Then I found my destination, City ChiuChow Restaurant. I promised to get a meal for my sister and unfortunately she does not like seafood that much, while most of the places on my list was mainly about seafood. Then I found a place where we could have a lunch meal that is affordable and not too heavy. So here it is.
The place is quite big, using the whole second floor. We arrived almost right after the restaurant opened, around eleven. They brought us the English menu and among the award winning specials there was the one I wanted to try: Honey Flavoured Smoked Duck Breast.
As you are seated, they bring you a hand towel, tea, red pepper oil and pickeled veggie. They do not charge you for the tea unlike some other restaurants but they charge you a little for other stuff served on the table.
Smoked duck cooked with mango, Culinary Awards 2003(Duck/Goose Division) . I guess lots of tourists take pictures, since the server lady courteously waited as I took out the camera.
So how was it? I am not a big fan of sweet meat but this was pretty good. My sister commented she likes it with a little bit of red pepper oil served on the side. It is only 98HKD(Half portion is available for 68HKD), coming upto be about 125HKD(16USD) for two. Perhaps some people may think this is not enough for two, but for a light lunch meal this was very nice.
