Lo Hey HK Seafood Menu
Lo Hey HK Seafood offers a variety of dishes from their signature menu, including Lo Hey Tossed Chicken Salad ($22.80), Traditional Soya Sauce Duck ($30 for half, $58 for whole), and Lo Hey Sweet and Sour Pork ($16.80).
In addition to these classic offerings, they feature a selection of fresh seafood, such as lobster, crab, and prawns, prepared using different preparation methods.
Highlights include Steamed Australian Lobster with Sake & Superior Soy Sauce (market price), Salt-Baked Crab (market price), and Stir-Fried Salt & Pepper Live Prawns ($30 for 300g).
LO HEY Tossed Chicken Salad
The Lo Hey Tossed Chicken Salad ($22.80) is an interesting spin on the classic lo hei, featuring a tangy, Thai-style vinaigrette which is a lighter alternative to the traditionally sweeter version.
The dish combined tender poached chicken with crisp vegetables like carrot and cucumber, making it a refreshing and appetizing starter.
Hami Melon Sea Conch Chicken Soup
The Hami Melon Sea Conch Chicken Soup ($58) was a hearty dish featuring ingredients like scallops, pork ribs, and dried sea conch.
Everything was simmered for over eight hours, and the ingredients brought out a natural sweetness, resulting in a rich, flavourful broth.
The generous portion was suitable for more than four people. Making it an excellent choice for a warm and satisfying start to the meal.
Deep Fried Soon Hock with Soy Sauce
The Deep-Fried Soon Hock with Soy Sauce ($10/100g) featured a perfectly crispy skin, while the meat remained tender and firm.
The soon-hock fish was meaty with its slightly sweet flavour, pairing well with the rich and savoury soy sauce.
Wok Fried Chicken Thigh with Ginger Oil
The Wok-Fried Chicken Thigh with Ginger Oil ($16.80) offered a fragrant aroma of ginger, thanks to the topping of thinly sliced crispy ginger.
The chicken was fried to a crispy golden brown, though it might feel slightly greasy for some. While the ginger helped balance the richness, this dish didn’t stand out as much compared to others.
Braised Lobster with Vermicelli
The Braised Lobster with Vermicelli ($16.80/100g) was well-executed, with the vermicelli having a satisfying texture that wasn’t too soggy. The dish had a wetter consistency, with a subtle wok hei flavour that gave it a smokey flavour.
The lobster was meaty, with a tender texture that complemented the dish well. The lobster legs also offered a surprising amount of meat, which was juicy and flavorful, adding to the overall richness of the dish.
Sizzling French Beans with Shrimp
The Sizzling French Beans with Shrimp ($16.80) offered a satisfying crispness from the fresh French beans. The minced pork was well-flavoured, adding a savoury depth to the dish. The dried shrimp provided a punch of umami, enhancing the overall flavour profile.
This dish, with its rich and savoury taste, definitely pairs well with a bowl of rice to balance out the boldness of the flavours.
‘Typhoon Shelter’ Stir-Fried Crab
The Typhoon Shelter Stir-Fried Crab ($9.80/100g) was covered in a mountain of crispy garlic and black beans.
The crab was meaty, juicy and sweet; while the fragrant fried garlic bits added a satisfying crunch and aromatic flavour which perfectly complemented the tender crab meat.
