In the countryside, it is already very good to enjoy chicken congee and fried noodle. But there is no need to try its noodle, it is horrible.
Congee base is not bad and chicken is fresh enough. This to a certain extent can be noticed from the skin colour and oil.
This is half bird. We are gifted to enjoy Hakka steamed chicken in the Northern District.
They are very busy to serve hikers.
They should have prepared the congee early in the morning.
She is chopping the chicken for us.

We go hiking to Lai Chi Wo several times, but it is the first time for us to have lunch here in Yau Kee. In fact, in the vicinity, there is no other food server. What you need to do is either to bring your own food pack or to dine here. Yau Kee serves vegetable, fried noodle, Hakka braised pork, Hakka braised mushroom, Hakka steamed chicken, chicken congee, sweet potato sweet soup and tofu custard.
Since the number of hikers is not easily anticipated, Yau Kee has not prepared all the above food items in large amount recently. Therefore some items may be out of stock at the time of your visit. We originally should not be able to enjoy the chicken congee. But because a friend who can communicate in Hakka language with the PIC and his mother, we finally can get this bowl of chicken congee.
Food quality is average, it is already very good to eat congee and steamed chicken. But the fried noodle is not very good in taste and texture, or simply horrible. This can be noticed from its appearance. Chicken and chicken congee should be the best available choices.
Besides, order in advance for some special items or Poon Choi (Pun Choi, Big Bowl Fest, 盤菜) is welcome.
