Sichuan Food i Sleepy Backwater Pui O?!?
Last night I had eight people from Lantau over to my Sichuan Function Room on the roof of my gaff, Lo Uk Tsuen Country Club (羅屋村俱樂部). Great success! I made dumplings, gong bao chicken (公保雞)cucumbers in spicy sauce and garlic, fish fragrant aubergines (魚香茄子)and dry-fried potato slivers with chillies and spring onions (乾煸土豆絲).
The roof looked particularly splendid that afternoon, I must say, bathed in an intriguing light that soon turned to sub-tropical darkness.
From the kitchen I could hear screams of laughter in French, Italian,(Sicilian) English and Swiss. Which is also French. This is the first Sichuan meal I’ve cooked where everything was devoured down to the last grain of rice.
Oh no, hadn’t I cooked enough? But they were beside themselves with joy, it seemed.
Come to Lo Uk Tsuen Country Club for your big or small celebration! Minimum eight people, maximum 50. Come on, do you really know more than 50 people in Hong Kong? All right, 60 then, but then I can’t guarantee matching glasses…
