秋冬有兩樣美食既美食---羊腩煲 及煲仔飯
羊腩煲好難搵到一間好食
最近發現近在咫尺既跑馬地街市銖記既羊腩煲勁正
跑馬地街市夜晚只有兩檔開門，一出lift，兩黨即有職員大叫x記幾位！有d認得既熟客，問都唔洗問就直接帶位。我地就係銖既常客。
有次介紹朋友去幫趁銖記，最後反由朋友極力推介佢地既羊腩煲。一試！果然正野！
There are two great local winter food that i love so much ---- Mutton Clay pot and clay pot rice.
For mutton clay pot, you can find it every where, but it's very hard to find a good one.
Recently, we found a very good one right in our neighborhood --- Happy Valley Wet market, which is as good as home made!
At dinner service, there are only two restaurants opened in the wet market. When you take the lift to the 2nd floor, staff from both restaurant will be there welcoming you. When they see their regulars, they won't even ask. They will just take you to their tables. All tables are color - coded into red and white plastic table cloth for recognition! FUN!
I have been going there for dinner very often, but have never even thought about trying their mutton clay pot. first it's very seasonal, it's only available in winter. Second, we have just never thought about it. One night, after having a drink with a friend, i recommended her to go to the wet market for cheap, but good local food. She texted me the next day telling me the mutton clay pot was fantastic! That rang my bell! I tried it and it was truly amazing!
羊腩煲味夠濃，煲既汁又夠杰，唔會太稀了了， 半腩又入美，唔穌，又夠多。支竹、馬蹄食極都仲有，腐乳任加。仲附送生菜一碟，勁正！2個女仔叫一個煲兩份食，夠哂！
One common problem i found in all the other mutton clay pot ($288) i tried before, the sauce was very watery.. hence, the flavor is not strong enough. This one, the sauce is nicely reduced to a thick sauce, the taste is not salty at all, but strong enough. The mutton is so tender that melt in your mouth. Another important ingredient is dry tofu skin, it absorbed all the flavor from the sauce, it was just so yum. It also comes with a little plate with fermented tofu dip. We dip the mutton in it before we eat. The fermented tofu does have a strong distinctive flavor. Some westerners like it, some westerners hate it... Be prepared! You can always ask for more if you finish it.
We also dunk the Chinese lettuce in the pot and eat it like a hot pot. In some restaurant, you have to order it as a side. For some others, like Gi Kee here, it includes a plate of lettuce. Like the dry tofu skin, the lettuce absorbed the sauce when you cook it in the pot. The difference is, lettuce ddoesn't take long to cook. You dunk a piece of lettuce in the pot, after 10 seconds, the lettuce will be in your mouth!
One pot is big enough for 2 ladies to share with some rice. If you come in with a group of people, one is probably still enough with other dishes. You can always ask the staff to make it a bigger portion just in case (half a portion bigger, or double portion). the price will be adjusted.
當然人係貪心，仲要叫多隻蒜蓉粉絲蒸大蟶子（$38一隻，最少叫2隻。次次都係咁好食！
Although one mutton clay pot is enough, as a greedy foodie, we ordered a delicious steamed razer clam ($38 each, min x 2) The razer clam is huge and steamed with a lot of garlic and spring onion and vermicelli and some soy sauce. It is a must eat item for me every time i come here.
