Yet another old-school classic resto in Hong Kong but being old-school does not translate to quality food. It was a rather hard to find place hiding in Tai Wai and we had to take a taxi and then walk over the foot bridge to reach the so-called entrance.
Oh no, that wasn't the real enterance, you had to walk up a red-lighted "tunnel" / pathway to reach the actual entrance.
The resto has a outdoor dining area which doesn't really go well with a Chinese restaurant especially with the beach umbrella. Then again, who am I to judge, it might have been the trend 30 years ago.
Lung Wah is famous for its Pigeon so the three of us ordered all its pigeons on the menu! (1) Crispy Roasted Pigeon, (2) Braised Pigeon in Soya Bean Sauce and (3) Baked Pigeon in Rock Salt. Among the 3 kinds, I prefer the Braised Pigeon in Soya Bean Sauce for its richer flavors. The Roasted Pigeon's skin was not crisp at all as if it was roasted for quite a long while ago. The Baked Pigeon in Rock Salt was under flavored for my personal liking.

If you have a stuffed nose, you can give this Pan-fried Beef Fillet dish a try. Why you ask? I sneezed and coughed from a simple quick sniff of its
What we found to be interesting from the Pigeon Eggs with Mixed Vegetables was the eggs themselves. They were almost transparent! Crystal transparent to be exact. A simple yet interesting dish. Don't expect strong flavors, it was a simple dish.

i like Lung Wa's chicken congee + fried pigeon, their tofu fa is so silky smooth ..and most of all, it's the childhood memories with my grandma.
If you look again at the map, this place is near the Sha Tin station and not Tai Wai.
Nice photos of the food.
@Cheeky Angel: oh ... when we take the taxi to here, the taxi driver told us it was Tai Wai haha ... I really need to explore that area more :)
@Greentea00: oh we should have ordered the congee to try :(
Your taxi driver's talking rubbish. Take a look at the map and you'll see that the resto is too far north to be classed as Tai Wai now (maybe many moons ago when Sha Tin hadn't been built/ developed then it was?). Yes, there's plenty more to explore in the N.T. :)
