As local as you can get - Fu Sing

Today Tuen Ng festival (Dragon Boat) and Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say we go swimming or row boat.  I say no way, too windy make my hair no good looking and the sun no good.  I no like wearing long sleeves swimming suit like Middle East girl.  What they call it, Burka?  I no like sun neither.  I no want get freckles.  Laser make my skin red for one week. 

He insist and we went reservoir to row boat.  We walk up hill and saw a big white Alphard park right outside entrance.  Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say we call police to tow car.  I say why?  They so grand. He should do same for me instead make me walk up hill. Selfish?  What selfish?  I was already angry to walk up and saw Alphard family make me more angry.  They have Philippines helper row boat when fat children sit there to eat.  I said to Sweet Sweet Boyfriend.  You like row boat, you row!

I no in good mood and Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say we leave early for dim sum in Causeway Bay and if I good, he take me Bottega in Time Square to buy new hangbag.  Nothing too exciting at Bottega this season but girls in office know it is Bottega.  

We went to Fu Sing and get table close to entry.  They no have stool for handbags and I put my Anya on chair.  Place not grand.  Reception area no pretty like IFC place.  I worry food no good but I saw big board sign by many famous people including models like Kathy Chow.  If she eat at Fu Sing, I can too. I will still be size 2.


First thing was Char Siu.  This one texture soft with big piece fat.  Like all stylist girls, I take fat out and Sweet Sweet Boyfriend took them.  Char Siu very sweet and juicy.  Best part was sauce.  People say fat char siu no good.  I say no good too but reduce damage, you no eat carb together.  All movie stars, singers and models in HK no eat carbs. I usually no eat after 3pm but now is Summer, I may go no carb like them. 


We had fried chicken wings with shrimp paste.  It like Greyhound Cafe.  Chicken wings cut in halfs.  Who come up with idea first?  This one very good. I like it more than KFC,  Very crispy skin but soft meat inside.  Taste very good.  Shrimp paste taste better than smell.  Very local food.


I say no eat too much meat but no carb. So we got crispy tofu.  It's nice texture but the taste no as good as chicken wings.  No special...err... pinch? Punch?  Kick?


We got wonton in fish broth; first no deep fried dish.  Wonton so small and only pork inside.  I say why no like Jim Chai Kee in Central?  They wonton big like a golf ball and this place no Mak's noodle with tiny wonton either.  Too much skin and so too much carb and thick when bite.


I say Sweet Sweet Boyfriend go crazy.  Deep fried again. This spring roll no come with Worcestershire sauce.   I say no no that's no alright. Then I saw honey lemon on plate.  Quite different from normal.  Filling nice and skin crispy. Interesting spring roll.


Finally har gau arrived.  The skin so different from that grand one at Cuisine Cuisine.  This one no clear see through and no stick to chopstick and breaks. More bamboo better, no? Balance diet


Meat in tofu sheet (Seen Chuk Guen) - This one is not just pork.  It has a bit of everything, shrimp, pork, mushroom, vegetable.  Very nice texture and tasty.  I no know why people no like it.  Seen Chuk Guen very good taste


Char Siu Pineapple bun.  The crust nice but it no look like pineapple??  The bun is hot when they serve.  Quite nice and soft.  No hard bottom bun


Steam Char Siu Bao. Bun fluffy and char siu not just fat but no orange sauce inside?   No like other char siu bao?   The top of bun no yellow dry spot.  I said "with no spot, how you know it's steamed?"


Last dim sum came.  Fried rice roll in XO sauce.  So full and couldn't eat.  I worry too spicy and bad for skin but it was no strong.  Sweet Sweet Boyfriend no like it too much.  Say no char on rice roll and not enough spice.


We got free dessert.  Mango and sago cream.  No as good as before.  No coconut cream.  I so disappointed.  France Foody Woman use coconut oil for hair, skin and cooking.  It so grand and must be good and now they no give me coconut cream!?


Place so local with TV on wall.  Manager come over say hello and said "All our dim sum are made here at the restaurant. Lots of other places just steam theirs at the restaurant;  their dim sum are made in central kitchen or even China".  I no know dim sum made in Central.  That's so grand to have Central dim sum.  Hmm... Fu Sing so local even dim sum made locally.  They should learn be grand.

  1. Hi ILL!!!

    The dim sum looks very very good actually! I am sure you didn't put on too much weight from it :)

    Oh - by the way just wondering if you have ever been to Orange Tree along the mid-levels escalator? - Read contrasting reviews on open rice and will appreciate your opinion if any! Thanks!!!

    1. It's been a long time since my last visit. My very honest opinion is I don't really recall anything about their food...
      What kind of food do you want to have and what's your budget?

    1. Hmm... can't really think of a place for authentic Dutch food in Hong Kong. Italian, French, even Swiss is easy in HK but Dutch is a rare one to get. Any alternatives you will consider? You looking for something experimental and exciting? Solid execution? Or fine dinning?

  3. Hi ILL,

    Well, the Boyfriend misses his Flemish food, so Dutch is the closest to Flemish that we can get here :) We're going tonight so will keep you updated!

    By the way - an article to share:

    1. Sorry sorry for being so slow in my reply. Work sucks big time. How was dinner? Was the food acceptable?

      Yes, I read about the news. It is too funny but true to the roots of the shoes. Christian did use red nail varnish of his assistant on the pair that made the shoes famous!
