華昌小厨 Wah Cheong Restaurant Taikooshing HK

The Chinese title means bistro in English but I don't think it's just a bistro as it offers a wide selection of Cantonese dishes from BBQ, stir fried/steamed/stewed dishes to hot sizzling casserole. Tried their BBQ pork and it's at average. The golden/silver egg soaked with veggie and the soup of the day are pretty nice. The last one is the deep fried garoupa filet in five preserved veggie sweet sour sauce 五柳班塊 is impressive. I haven't tried a proper "five preserved veggie sweet sour sauce. This sauce often reminds me that time I was asked by my grand ma to go to a restaurant for deep frying a big garoupa and dressed in this sauce (caught by her cousin and it was so big that I need to carry it with my wide open arms - about 2.5 feet long that not a household wok can take.). At that time I was reminded to specify strongly it has to be in this sauce. This sauce is not like the common sweet and sour sauce as it has the nice mix of pickled ginger, cucumber, baby onion, gourd and scallion and this sauce mix is perfect to go with deep fried fish. Very warm to see this long time old friend.
