Daily soup is not bad but can be improved. Pork meat and different veggies are boiled together for a long time.
Upper:
Daliang Fried Fresh Milk. This is a dish requiring good cooking skill.
Solidified milk is covered by liquefied flour power before it is fried
in oil. This dish is highly recommended to non-Chinese diners. It is a
chance for foreigners to praise how great Chinese cooking skill is. This time, the flour coat is a bit thick.
Middle:
Baked Salty Chicken is delicious and strong in chicken taste, the
chicken should be one of the best in Hong Kong, in my mind. It should be
completely cooked in the morning or the day before. Otherwise, the
chicken taste would not be so strong and tasteful.
Lower: Braised Hairy Cucumber (Hairy Gourd) is in fact a wrong choice
tonight. Blanching Chive, sliced cuttlefish, cubed hairy cucumber are
braised with oyster sauce. There is nothing special and it is not
difficult to cook this dish by yourself at home.

It
is a restaurant with more than 40 years history, and mainly serves
Hakka Guangdong food. The most famous items in Chuen Cheung Kui include
“Sliced pork with preserved vegetable”, “Baked Salty Chicken”, and
“Braised Bean curd”. Every time we dined in this restaurant, we would order the dinner combo ($158) for 2 persons. The bill is $213.
This
restaurant is highly recommended if you want to try tasteful Guangdong
Chinese food at reasonable price. But it is better to visit before 19:00
or after 21:00. Or, you have to wait for more than 1 hour. If you dine
from 17:30 and check the bill before 19:00, from Monday to Friday, there is
10% discount. From my experience, apart from the 3 to 4 signature
dishes in Chuen Cheung Kui, other dishes are not so outstanding.
