Pearl River Deli, Hong Kong

This is the last of the Hainan Chicken Chronicles - Pearl River Deli. The Pearl River Delta is area of China in the Guangdong Province encompassing the major cities of Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong, among others. I used to live and work in Shenzhen and Hong Kong awhile ago, so I am quite familiar with the area. The province of Hainan is also nearby as well. Hainan Chicken rice is a popular dish that is offered in Cantonese restaurants. I remember first seeing it, before frequenting savoy, at Hong Kong style cafes - like ABC cafe in the early 90’s. Anyways, PRD’s offering offer large cuts of boneless chicken with flavored rice and sauces. I wish I remembered to ask for all dark meat. Heck I’m not sure they had a all dark meat offering. The rice was spiced and flavored right. The sauce were good, more spicy than others. I also had a chasu egg pineapple bun sandwich. Chasu is Cantonese bbq pork and the pineapple bun is a “pineapple” looking crusted sweet bread. This was a nice little sandwich combination with the sweet and salty. . . . . . . . 🐔

Traditional Hong Kong style breakfast, Hong Kong

Traditional Hong Kong style breakfast. With the rice porridge, pineapple buns, macaroni spam in soup, rice noodle with dried shrimp, and the dry noodles. Reminiscent of my short time in Hong Kong years ago. You can see the western British influence with these dishes. I love the rice porridge with thousand year old egg and pork (which I didn’t get this time). The pineapple buns with the hard butter is also a favorite. Check out my next post of the tea coffee with the condensed milk. Too bad for breakfast they open at 9am. They should open earlier. . . . . . . . . macaronisoup
