Sun Kwong 新光潮州菜館 @ Hong Kong (2026)

An old school Teochew (Chiuchow) restaurant in Hong Kong, Sun Kwong was one of my favourite late night supper place, when I used to go for supper. Now it’s Princess favourite too.

Sun Kwong is located along Lockhart Road at the Wanchai side of Goose Neck Bridge 鵝頸橋 (which is what the local calls 堅拿道天橋). Right outside the shop, you can see the delicious cooked food hanging in the shop window, typical of a Hong Kong-style Teochew restaurant.

As per tradition, the Teochew dinner would always start with kungfu tea, which is a concentrated cup of Iron Buddha tea 铁观音. My dad used to brew such strong tea in the morning to go with his bakkuteh. I don’t know why Teochew restaurant in Hong Kong starts with this tea, but I guessed only old Teochews appreciate such strong brews.

滷鵝、滷鵝腸 Braised goose and intestines

Traditional Teochew restaurants usually have two kitchens – one at the back that focused on all the cooking and one in front that featured the cooked items like fish “rice” 魚飯 and braised food 滷味. We started with some cooked food – 滷鵝、滷鵝腸 braised goose and intestines. The intestines were blanched in the braise a la minute. The goose breast was sliced and warmed up with the same braise. Eaten with the vinegar garlic dip 蒜泥醋.

蠔仔碎肉粥 Oyster and minced pork congee

蠔仔碎肉粥 Oyster and minced pork boiled rice – my favourite congee made up of fresh oysters, minced pork, dried sole fish and boiled with rice. I have not been able to find the same style in Singapore.

韭菜豬紅 Pig’s blood curd with chives

韭菜豬紅 Pig’s blood jelly with chives – pig’s blood jelly is no longer available in Singapore because there is no more abattoir and slaughtering of poultry and livestocks. Even in Hong Kong, they were no longer made locally and were always under a lot of doubt because of their origin. I always eat this whenever I have the chance, either here or in Bangkok. It was cooked with a slightly mala taste and served on a bed of green chives. The chives were just to add bulk.

红烧乳鸽 Crispy roasted pigeon

Hong Kong pigeons are usually bigger than what I could get in most places. Here, it was almost the size of a spring chicken. 红烧乳鸽 Crispy roasted pigeon required two steps of preparation, first the bird was braised and then deep fried. Very juicy and tender, but crispy on the outside. Served with keropok (prawn crackers).

螺頭燉雞腳湯 Conch and Chicken Feet Soup

This next dish is not exactly a Teochew dish. The Cantonese are really good at making double boiled soup. 螺頭燉雞腳湯 Conch and Chicken Feet Soup tasted more like a Cantonese version of the soup than the Teochew version that would usually include 橄欖 green olives and 石斛 dendrobium (orchid stem).

And with another round of kungfu tea, we ended the “simple” yet satisfying dinner. The service was excellent, the food was good. Price not really cheap but still a good bargain given the quality and quantity.
