The abundant varieties of Cantonese cuisine can sometimes prove overwhelming for those with indecisiveness, but missing out on a classic dish such as the Steamed Pork Patty would be an unfortunate oversight. It's a versatile dish that can combine with different ingredients like dried squid, preserved vegetables, or salted egg yolk. It’s said that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, and to truly master this piece of culinary art, we invite you to Man Sing Bing Sutt (民聲冰室) located in Tai Hang. Their signature rendition, Steamed Pork Patty with Salted Egg Yolk (鹹蛋蒸肉餅), is truly a gastronomic marvel.
An eye-catching orange signboard hung above the doorways of the 50-year-old restaurant will lead you to an even more eye-catching dish, in which the patty is cone-shaped and topped with a golden yolk, instead of being the regular round and flat one. Drizzled with their secret sauce, the tower of meat looks extra mouthwatering with its shiny and pinkish-brown exterior as the fat seeps through, which makes it tender and moist. Trust us, you'll find yourself reaching for more rice to savor every bit of it!
Next on the list of Man Sing Bing Sutt's specialities is the steamed egg with crab roe. Crafted with a whole crab, this dish offers an egg steamed to perfection, absorbing the sweet, rich aroma of the crab roe. After enjoying the pork patty, switching to a spoonful of the steamed egg paired with white rice offers a balanced culinary experience: A relatively flavorful meat patty, complemented by the light, refreshing steamed egg leaves a craving for more.
Man Sing Bing Sutt is a bustling haven for food lovers and also offers an outdoor seating area for those preferring to dine alfresco. Choosing quieter times is recommended for a relaxed experience, without having to endure a long wait. Lunchtime can be an ideal option for those mindful of their budget, considering the substantial price difference between lunch and dinner offerings. Man Sing Bing Sutt awaits to take all visitors on an unforgettable gastronomic journey - a feast for the senses.
