In the midst of the Temple Street market in Jordan is this outdoor seafood restaurant that is popular with the tourists.
The seafood is layed out for you to chose, it comes out quickly and tastes as fresh as you can get.
I saw rabbit fish on the menu and had to have it given rabbit is the animal for the coming lunar new year. The fish was steamed in soya and soya sauce. The flesh was clean, white, subtle taste ready for the soy to add flavour.
Water spinach was cooked in garlic, with a touch of fermented tofu, not over powering the vegetable, but just enough to balance with the crunchy water spinach stalks, most of the flavour was found in the leaves which absorbed most of the tofu flavouring.
It was all washed down beautifully with a large bottle of Tsingtao local beer. Beers in Asia are weaker than Australia and works well as a thirst quencher in the tropical heat. This Sydney food blog was very satisfied.
The meal came to HK$138, around A$22.

I have always been curious about that spinach dish. I tried fermented tofu once and hated it but perhaps if you just have a little mixed in, like gorgonzola in a pasta sauce, it works. Yum!
ReplyDeleteIt can be overpowering, but done just right here, Lauren
ReplyDeletemiss HK's awesome street food. Have you tried the Oyster pancake?
ReplyDeleteAlso gotta try the "Sashimi" Geoduck at Sai Gong or other Seafood restaurant. They are the freshest seafood ever. When I mean "Sashimi" they actually give you a pot of clear hot soup so you can leave the slices in there for 5 secs to get the best taste out.
Happy trip!
What great tips KLui, will have to try to geoduck sounds interesting
