Hong Kong Harbour - Family Dinner Edition

On the Chinese menu, there's a small area in the corner that has a family menu of six dishes for $43. Yeah, you heard me, for $43 friggin bucks. And the shit comes with a Junk load of white rice (or steamed rice as the crackers like to call it)... Especially handy, when you're in the mood for 2000 of the same thing. This family menu can easily feed 6 gwai-lo's. No problem, ok, USA? Is it super authentic because it's in Chinese? Fuck no. It's like a slutty Chinese girl that can't speak Chinese but who cares... If she tastes like she have bathe this morning, then I'm going downtown on this bitch. There's other larger family menus for a few bucks more but shit, bro, how much food can you eat fat boy?

Some kind of Minced Meat Egg White Drop Cornstarch Thickened Soup. This cauldron of crap was quite comforting. I had 2 bowls of it.

Bowl of Fish Balls and Extruded Tofu. Let's face it, that Roman column shaped tofu turd is funny looking but that shit done tastes guud! Fish balls are always a hoot in one's oral cavity, I like to store them in my cheeks like a chipmunk. Don't worry it's just not all extruded minced tempeh, there's napa cabbage underneath that underpants mess.

Salt & Pepper Shrimp. I don't understand why chicks can give head but not eat them... They're in your mouth already (that's half the battle) might as well just finished them off. In this case, it's alright to use teeth. These creastures are great when freshly fried but as leftovers the morning after... It's like you're wishing you brought your travel toothbrush. They just ain't as fwesh... No one wants to take that walk of shame.

Sweet & Sour Fried Ribs. If you're asking where is that nuclear red sweet & sour sauce? You should be water boarded or made to do community service at Panda Express. This is the semi-real Chinese style. These ribs were a tad chewy and rubbery but the sauce hides it quite nicely like the BBQ joints that drowns their prized smoked meats in their HFCS jizzlobber sauce. This dish had more bones than meat but still edible.

Some kind of Green Grass Thinger. I usually become a vegetarian around the 4th or 5th course during a meal. Makes me appreciate the upcoming dishes even more.

Chinese Style Fried Chicken. The final dish had to be none other than my favorite... Pollo Frito Chino. Yes, that's how they spelled it on the menu. Maybe. Crispy skin, semi tender inside (a tad dry) but it didn't matter, shit was like crack... Crackling good. Came with some sauce that I don't think it should have came with. Tasted like the water from a can of tuna mixed with drippings from a toilet tank. I ain't dunking my cheekan in that shit. But you can if you wish, you filthy animal. Edd-deee, why you treet me like annee-maal?

For $43, you can't beat this if you're in the mood to stuff your face with a good amount of food that's better than average. They have better dishes on the regular menu but when you're drunk and high as a motherfucker and don't want to think too hard, just point your fat finger to this treasure trove of booze and drug soaking goodness to the skinny waiter with the mouthful of marbles and you're on you way to heaven. Bless his heart.
