。Kwan Kee — The most classic local beef balls & pork knuckles。
來到粉嶺聯和墟覓食,總是會想起三家餐廳,群記牛肉圓豬手便是其中一家。小時候家父常帶我們來食,以前在周末下午總是摸門釘,假日不開市,而且豬手一賣光便收舖,這是從前的群記。現在第一輪豬手賣完,等兩小時便再有新鮮出爐。又多了一個到訪的理由。
In Luen Wo Hui, there are 3 restaurants that would come up to my mind every time when I am here. Kwan Kee is no doubt one of them. Dad sometimes brought us here when my brother and I were young. If we came on Saturday afternoon, we usually found that the restaurant closed, so as Sunday and Public Holiday. They closed once the pork knuckles were sold out. It was Kwan Kee in the old days. Nowadays, you only need to wait for 2 hours for a new round of pork knuckles if sold out.
豬手麵當然是必選之列,豬手煮得軟硬適中,豬手皮很好彈性,食起來一點肥膩也沒有,而是啖啖肉的美味。我這天點的是豬手米粉,米粉剛好清爽,更突出豬手的原味。
Pork knuckles noodles was a must-order. The knuckles were cooked perfect texture – skin was crunchy and meat was soft. Not even a bit of greasiness, but freshness. I ordered the rice noodles this days as it would bring out the original freshness of the knuckles.
來這裡,其實第一個上菜的,不是油菜,而是一碟辣醬。這碟讓人愛不釋手的辣醬,輕輕的麻辣感覺,而且辣油相當香,用豬手點上,不但提升了豬手的鮮甜,更讓人不禁食多了。
The very first dish served was actually the nice chili sauce. The sauce that you will fall in love with. Taste slightly spicy and smell so nice. You won’t be able to resist it.
再來,介紹一下兄長食的牛腩河。其實來這裡的人,很少會點上麵餅,河粉或米粉才是較受歡迎之選。而牛腩煮得很入味,牛筋彈牙,想多食一口又一口,甚至把湯喝了。
The beef noodles was something that you may also try. People usually order rice noodles here and the beef was cooked so well and juicy. You may not want to stop drinking the soup. 😉
這間經典中的經典,在這個舊區裡一直維持著,堅撐著,不少舊店已經搬遷了,改頭轉面了,希望這家可以一直留守下去。
This restaurant is really one of its kind. Living and creating its own history in Luen Wo Hui. Lots of the old restaurants have been moved or renovated in the same area. Hope it will stay as the same and carry on its journey.
