I am very lucky that I have some good friends in Hong Kong with whom I always share a meal or two when I am visiting. During my trip in June 2019 they took me to a traditional Hong Kong eatery in Wan Chai. It is one of those restaurant that is as large as a private dining room. On a Friday night it was packed. It must be a very popular place. Its English name is “Your restaurant”.
The visit
Dishes started to arrive pretty quickly. The first was a vegetable soup.
The main attraction of the evening was a garlic chicken served with tofu. The tofu was very tasty, almost as much as the chicken. In the picture above you can see the dish before the waiter poured the garlic dressing (see picture on top of the page).
Clams.
I particularly enjoyed this deep fried whitebait.
Glazed pork.
More chicken meat in soy sauce.
Some greens.
At the end everyone praised the house puddings. I had a coconut pudding, while the most popular around the table was the whisky pudding.
The check
It was 980 HKD for a huge feast. In the end we paid around 160 HKD per person (20 USD). Relly good value for money.

Update September 2019: I have been informed by friends that the restaurant closed down. The owner just had it enough. Old Hong Kong disappearing.
