Sai Kung Cafe

Incredibly authentic and delicious and very reasonably priced. I would’ve given 5 stars but we had a vegetarian friend with us and the only veggie savoury option of about 100 dishes was egg rolls - that’s really not great for a Bristol based restaurant. Luckily they said they could make the Mapo Tofu vegetarian but it was really disappointing.

I tried the traditional Hong Kong style dish - Braised pork belly with preserved vegetables and rice , the portion is generous, I can’t finish it on lunch time and packed, it tastes good. The brown sugar mill tea tastes plain, like sugar milk instead of tea. Service is average but the wall paintings are beautiful. Price is reasonable. See the menu. Please pay attention: 1. no card service, only accept cash or transfer money via bank account. 2. No toilet

Whilst walking to the Bristol Museum via Park Street, we spotted some Chinese pastries in the hot display so we stopped by for some snack / desserts after visiting the museum. My dad was more intrigued with the name of the cafe as my parents are from Sai Kung. You order at the counter and it's cash only. We ordered egg tarts (蛋撻), char siu pastry (叉燒酥), mango pudding (芒果布甸) and mango sago pudding (楊枝甘露). I've forgotten what's the individual price but it was £19.40 for the four items. Reasonable price. The best points were the flavours and the portion size. We enjoyed the pastries that seemed like they were just out fresh from the oven. Hot, crispy, not too sweet and plentiful of meat filling (for the char siu pastry). Same for the pudding; not too sweet and decent portion size. They were pre-made and stored in a tub in the fridge. Definitely would stop by again when we visit Bristol in the future.
