Vbest Tea House, Soho Central, Hong Kong

Vbest Tea House was a last minute suggestion by SF; we were tired and wanted dinner nearby..
They serve delicious smoked duck there, was SF's reply

The restaurant was rather quiet, it's located at the less crowded area off Soho. SF said it's crowded during lunch hour as it's quite near the central business district..

Decided to have some soup first...

Fish broth with bak choy and sliced pork (HKD55). The soup was simply divine; it was smooth, from hours of boiling I presume. The fish broth was a comfort to drink, the sweetness from the pork slices and veg complemented the savoury soup perfectly.

Their homemade pork wantans (HKD55)

This was an average dish. The skin was way too thick and pork filling, sparse. Can skip this.

The Mah Poh tau foo (HKD68)

Vbest's version was infused with mah lat spicy szechuan pepper corns; every mouthful earns us a numb tongue for few seconds. The smooth tau foo neutralizes it fairly quickly though. A slightly piquant dish, might not be everyone's cup of tea.

The highly anticipated Smoked Duck (HKD85)..

Such a pretty sight! The wait was definitely worth it; every slice of the duck was absolutely delectable! The luscious duck meat was beautifully marinated; tender meat , a sliver of melting fat in between the crisp, aromatic skin sent me straight to seventh heaven. Bliss.

Stir fried snow peas with ear wood fungus (HKD55)..

The vegetables was extremely fresh and sweet; and it was full of wok hei. Very tasty indeed!

Vbest Tea House is located at 17 Elgin Street, Soho, Central, Hong Kong.
