Duck
Feet Wrapped with Chicken Liver & Roasted Pork is surely a
signature dish in Bauhinia Seafood Restaurant. This classic dish is not
commonly available in other Chinese restaurants. It takes time (about 20
to 30 mins) to prepare. Appearance is already very attractive. The meat wrapping duck foot is in fact duck intestine. It is
recommended to share one piece by 2 persons. Or, you will be 50% full.
Deep
Fried Crab Meat Ball @$35 is similar to the one we eat in Chinese
wedding dinner. But in a causal dinner, it of course becomes a focus in
the meal. Crab meatball is crispy on the surface; it is still succulent
and tasty inside .
Roasted Eel in Honey Sauce is an average item, but the portion is too small and not enough to us.
Fried Pork with Pineapple in Sweet & Sour Sauce is not an
outstanding item. There are many restaurants serving such dish in much
better quality. You should skip this dish in your next visit.
Steamed Shrimps were still alive about 5 minutes before.

Bauhinia
Seafood (BS) is a restaurant famous for serving classic Guangdong
cuisine, which means those dishes not commonly available in general
Guangdong restaurants in Hong Kong nowadays. BS is in a location not
accessible by MTR. Therefore if you want to try its classic Guangdong foods, extra time is needed in the travel.
BS
is a Chinese restaurant without good interior decoration. Servers are
helpful but not very professional, as they are not very familiar with
the dishes in the menu. We order a dinner set for 4 and 2 extra dishes,
the bill is $620 (average per head $104).
Overall
food taste is above average. We are delighted to try those dishes,
which should have been available many years before. Apart from those
classic Guangdong dishes, BS has no big difference from other Chinese
restaurants. If you have not yet tried such classic Guangdong foods, it is suggested to experience what should have been experienced in the past in Bauhinia Seafood.
