Tsui Wah Restaurant 翠華餐廳 has come a long way having first started in 1967. Today, this cha chaan teng has expanded with over 17 outlets in Hong Kong and has even ventured into Shanghai and Macau.
We were on our way to Yung Kee when we spotted Tsui Wah Restaurant located directly opposite Yung Kee Building. At Yung Kee, we had to take a queue number and were told to come back 1 hour later. As we were hungry, we decided to visit Tsui Wah Restaurant and shared 2 items before going back to Yung Kee.
There was no queue at Tsui Wah Restaurant. We were directed to the second level, where there was more sitting capacity. We noticed that even the second level was full. Luckily, a big group left just as we came in.
Level 2 filled to the brim |
Look at how nicely decorated the restaurant is.
As we were in a rush and did not want to order too much, we decided to just order the two recommended dishes that was 'popping' out of the menu.The two dishes were the Fish Balls & Fish Cakes with Rice Noodle in Fish Soup and Prawn Balls with Stirring Noodle in XO Sauce.
Fish Balls & Fish Cakes with Rice Noodle in Fish Soup |
The Fish Balls & Fish Cakes with Rice Noodle in Fish Soup cost HK$29 (S$4.83). A healthy dish and the rice noodle is actually kway teow. The fish soup was fragrant and flavourful. Moreover, there was no fishy taste.
Prawn Balls with Stirring Noodle in XO Sauce |
The Prawn Balls with Stirring Noodle in XO Sauce is priced at HK$45 (S$7.50). The noodle was QQ, but a tad too dry. The bonus was that the prawns were big, firm and very fresh! Delicious!

Despite the crowd, the service here was prompt and efficient. Overall, a good meal that achieved our aim of going somewhere with good and fast food without compromising our queue at Yung Kee and yet help fill our stomach with some food.
