Hang Fa Lau; modern Hong Kong cuisine on Pak Sha Rd.

Hang Fa Lau on Pak Sha Rd is a fusion of old and post modern style Hong Kong style cuisine. Inside the restaurant is a fair amount of space, and carries both rice, noodle, baked dishes, and a variety of tantalizing desserts on it’s menu.

Décor

The air-conditioned interior is very modern, and sparsely decorated with but a few ornaments on a few pillars. The seats are fair in number, and can easily fit for companies of four per table, and the use of pillars help separate and give a sense of privacy between some of the seating. The tables, like most in Hong Kong, are still closed in together, but not beyond the boundaries of comfort.

Menu

The menu consists of a set menu for lunch or dinner, depending on which time you go, as well as a list of very tantalizing a la carte dishes available all day long. The a la carte dishes are available on a separate menu (not shown in the pictures) are saucy and abundant in choices, including curry beef, baked seafood rice, lamb chops, and other even more unique dishes.

A popular side dish is a green vegetable rice dish (although we didn’t order this) from the menu can be seen served to tables all around us. It can be clearly seen the rice dish has been cooked with a green leafy vegetable inside the rice.

Another popular dish that is ordered in this restaurant is their unique 18 grain rice, which can be ordered to replace the rice side dish in certain meals, and is flavourful, healthy, and visually appealing. The fragrant of the 18 grain rice is unique, and the crisp textures of it’s different seasonings of nuts and seeds is only complimented by the tender sweetness of the evenly dispersed raisins.

The standard Hong Kong café style drink menu also include a generous choice of sweet dessert bar style mixes, different choices of regular to sweet tea, and more.
