New Baccarat Seafood Restaurant
And here's the nosh at New Baccarat Seafood Restaurant in Cheung Chau. You have to turn left as you exit from the ferry terminal and walk right to the end of the street.
I'm not a fan of squid in general, but this deep-fried squid was really yummy. The batter was crisp and tasty, and the squid was really fresh.
The yellow Chinese chives (韮皇) with prawns was stir-fried and was very light compared to the other dishes. This isn't to say it wasn't delicious. One could taste the freshness in the prawns.
The steamed scallops with garlic and vermicelli was another favourite. I don't think one can go very far wrong with scallops, garlic and vermicelli prepared in this manner. I only wished the scallops had been bigger!
But ooh, I think the crab with vermicelli was the best dish of all. The rich, buttery broth that the vermicelli was soaked in was lipsmackingly good. The crabs were sweet and fresh and complemented the broth so well.
And after that meal, I just about sent my cholesterol levels shooting skyhigh!
