Hong Kong Frugal Bites: Crispy Garlic Chicken @ Happy Valley Cooked Food Centre

Miss Normality has joined me in my adventures to find good hawker food around the city. This time, we went to her ‘hood. There were only 2 Chinese restaurants to pick from and they auntie wait staff were so overwhelmingly aggressive, it got stressful. We hastily sat down at the nearest table—you choose either the pink or red table clothed tables (well plastic), each belonging to the rivalry restaurant. Menus are in English with beautiful glossy photos… which for me serves as a warning sign of its authenticity. Yet, my colleague LY who also lives in the valley says the cooked food centre is pretty good.

The food was good, but not at the level of fabulous hawker food I was expecting. This garlic chicken dish however was really good—not to greasy, tender and not fatty chicken, the crushed fried garlic adding a delicious layer of crunch and flavour. We should gather a larger group of friends the next time so we can order lots more.
