Spicy Egg Plant
辣味茄子 is cooked with preserved bean paste, which can fully bring out the
taste of egg plant. It is contained in a long narrow white plate, and
eggplant is displayed in the form of 5 balls, this would enhance your
appetite a lot. Originally, it should be a common item in other
restaurants, but in Xi Yan it becomes an outstanding item in our meal.
Cha
Siu (Roasted Pork) in Red Bean Curd Sauce 南乳叉燒. Appearance is not very
alluring and is quite like Japanese Cha Siu. The taste is above average,
and we accept this new species of Cha Siu.
Pork Dumplings with Red Chili Oil 紅油抄手 is an average item only.
Cold
Tofu 秘制凍豆腐 $38 comes with tofu in low temperature and toppings of pork
floss 豬肉鬆 and small dried shrimp. Together with the special sauce, it is
changed from a tofu to a cold dish of delicacy.
Lychee Ice-cream in Osmanthus Wine 酒釀荔枝雪糕 $36
Custard
Glutinous Rice Dumplings in Ginger soup 薑湯漏黃湯丸 $28 is claimed to be
representative in its desserts. Inside the dumplings, the content comes
with white gourd 冬瓜, peanut and salted duck egg. Salted duck egg is in
very small portion that we really do not notice. If we have not asked
for the content, we really cannot guess there is salted duck egg.

A
friend has suggested that Xi Yan is a restaurant serving delicious
foods. We try to create something to happen near Admiralty and of course
we have booked in advance. Xi Yan Sweets is a restaurant of modern
design; it gives you an eye-catching impression of bright red color.
We
are allotted to a table at the corner and near the street; it is really
a good table, enabling us to see the street view and passers-by. But
the first feeling towards Xi Yan is not good; the layout (in terms of
alignment of tables and spacing) is like Fairwood Fast Food
www.fairwood.com.hk. It gives me a poor feeling before the start of this
meal. Besides, sound absorption ability of walls is very poor. When the
restaurant is about 50% full, it becomes very disgusting and noisy.
We
order 4 dishes and 2 desserts, the bill is $268 (average per head
$134). Bear in mind, the food portion of all dishes in Xi Yan is only 60
to 80% of those in other restaurants. In order words, the dishes here
are about 20% to 40% higher in price (this is our rough estimation
only).
