'Salted Chicken in Chiu Chow Style' is quite similar to the one we eat at home.
White
Pepper, Pig Stomach and Preserved Vegetable in Soup is one of the
signature items in Nam Kee. It is highly recommended and will keep you
warm in winter.
Fried Fish Meat Noodle is a bit oily. 4 pieces of shrimp (medium size) are delicious and fresh enough.
Leaf Mustard in Chiu Chow Style is also a bit oily. It is suggested to order other green vegetables.

Salted
Chicken is quite similar to the chicken we eat at home, and in fact not
salty. Comparatively, the chicken in Chuen Cheung Kui is very much
better. "Fried Fish Meat Noodle" and "Leaf Mustard in Chiu Chow Style"
are a bit oily . For health sake, about 50% each remains on the plate.
"White
Pepper, Pig Stomach and Preserved Vegetable in Soup" is the one we like
very much. Besides pig stomach, there is also pig intestine. The taste
is really "just-made". In the beginning, it seems that MSG has been
added. Later we found that there should be no MSG, as we do not feel
thirsty thereafter. The waiter said they have added a lot of pig bones
to make the soup . Since the soup is too delicious in our sense, we
request for another bowl (the portion of one bowl is equal to 4 small
bowls). The waiter said it is $40 if we request another bowl. But
finally, they do not charge that $40 in the bill, should have forgotten ,
or it is a bonus to us. Besides the soup is delicious, the white pepper
is good to health, particularly it would keep you warm or expel your
cold in winter. Because of this White Pepper soup, we would visit Nam
Kee again in winter. If you always feel cold in winter, this soup is
highly recommended .
