Cu Cai Guan

The fairly exotic menu at this lively and popular Cantonese eatery, complete with murals and photographs of Hong Kong pop stars and actors, proves that there’s no part of a pig that can’t be eaten. Trotters, brains, knuckles, and kidneys are all fair and rather delicious game. For the less adventurous, more benign but equally tasty dishes include riben jiemo chao niuliuli (wasabi stir-fried beef), XO jiang chao sijidou (stir-fried string beans in XO sauce), shenggua chao zhujingrou (crispy-skinned pork dipped in a spicy sauce), shuijing xiaren (stir-fried shrimp), and congyou bing (scallion pancakes). Or order from the tanks of live seafood on the first floor. This is one of those restaurants where the food is definitely not like the Cantonese food you’re used to back home — it’s better.
