Eating Out: Aladdin’s Mess Hong Kong

I love the name of the restaurant and it’s my friends’ favourite spot for a quick Indian food fix. We (over) ordered the usual: butter chicken, garlic naan, roti prata, lamb briyani, tandoori chicken and a palak paneer.

It’s a simple hole in the wall in Causeway Bay and you climb up some greasy stairs to get to the second floor.

I have to admit I have had better at Golden Peacock and lovingly home made meals by my Indian friend S, but Aladdin’s Mess works for a quick fix.

Service is brisk and you get your food quickly, so I imagine it’s a great lunch spot for those working in the vicinity. I’m definitely heading back if I’m in the area.

Yum! These dishes seem truly palatable, Juliana! I wouldn’t hesitate to visit this place when I go to Hong Kong!

Hello!

Hi, I am Juliana Loh, also endearingly known to friends as J-Loh. I am a well-fed and watered not-so-sterile Singaporean married to a chef (Head chef of a three Michelin- starred restaurant, no less).

Chicken Scrawlings is my blog about food, travel and life: celebrating victories in the trials and tribulations of life, marriage and work. In 2017, I survived cancer. I'm making the best of every day and living it on behalf of many dear friends gone too soon.

I am a seasoned, well-travelled freelance journalist covering stories about travel, food, culture, luxury hospitality and design.

I contribute regularly to Travel + Leisure, Hong Kong Tatler, SCMP, Singapore's National broadsheet The Straits Times, D+A and Prestige magazine.

I am also on regional panels for F&B awards, lists and guides, as well as trend networks: WGSN and Trendwatching.

I live and work in Singapore ~~Treviso, Beijing,~~ Hong Kong ~~Macao.~~

Sometimes, you'll also see Smudge, my Beijing rescue tuxedo cat, who decided to get off the streets for the nomadic cat-pat life. In 2018, we welcomed Gaja, a Maine Coon to the family. In September 2020, I became a Mama bear to Baby G.
