The Nap Mong Kok

中餐

Fung Shing, once a household name in Mong Kok, was reincarnated as Eton, in a space that oozes nostalgic Chinese flair with its red carpet and dragon and phoenix relief art. The kitchen is run by mostly the same team, and the menu remains broadly similar. Expect Shun Tak classics such as sautéed mandarin fish roll with silky flesh, and angled loofah in a lightly seasoned glaze. Scrambled egg white with milk in Daliang style is also an excellent choice.

Now with a dine-in option, the shop has moved to Mong Kok. Glass noodles dressed in a secret blend of chilli vinegar are topped with shredded cucumber, coriander, peas and ground peanuts. Choose your preferred level of spiciness.

This hole-in-the-wall is always jam-packed and that's down to chef-owner Ng's cooking, not the decor or service. Cantonese stir-fries prevail, alongside a few spicy options. The must-try salt-baked Wenchang chicken is succulent, flavoursome… and tends to run out early. Live seafood is also big on the menu, eg pan-fried prawn in soy sauce or steamed eel in black bean sauce. Reservations are recommended and it's worth pre-ordering the chicken to avoid missing out.

意大利菜

With black sesame seeds ground non-stop by the two stone mills at the door, you can tell what this shop is famous for – sweet black sesame soup, ice cream, pudding… and black sesame rolls prized for their intense flavour and chewy texture.
