I was seeing off a relative to Hong Kong and disgruntled that I couldn’t join the trip, and decided to reward myself with a little taste of Hong Kong at Chee Kei.
I picked the shrimp dumpling and beef brisket noodle combo and since I was at the airport, it was no surprise that the portions served for $15 was considerably smaller than what I will expect in HK.
Nevertheless, when I started to chow down, the taste of the springy noodles, the tenderness of the beef, and the burst of flavors from the shrimp dumpling were just as good as what I will expect in HK. OMG!
That should last my cravings till my next planned trip to HK. 😋

Being in a family that makes Shanghai Dumplings as a family past time, I was rather intrigued with this idea of an eatery showcasing Dumplings with interesting flavors (like Momo curry, fried Pierogi, smoked duck,etc)
Unfortunately, I had a heavy meal prior hanging out with my bestie and decided to keep it light and savor their original instead of going all out with their other offerings.
Sad to say, the dumplings are pretty average and a tad too salty.
The saving grace was the iced Longan Osmanthus Pu-Erh that was refreshing and washed away the saltiness of the dumplings.
Will I ever go back? Maybe to try out the other dumplings but not the original...
