東寶小館 Tung Bo Restaurant

I've been hearing a lot about Tung Bo but never got around to trying it until a couple weeks ago. It is located above the North Point wet market and is famous for its yummy food, boisterous atmosphere, and its beer drinking bowls. Tung Bo is a type of "dai pai dong" restaurant which is very traditional of Hong Kong and a great thing about Tung Bo is that it is located indoors so we did not have to sweat it out outside which would happen at many other dai pai dongs since many are located outdoors. Another plus of Tung Bo is that they allowed us to play music from our ipods which only furthermore intensified the loud and bustling atmosphere. I was doing a pretty good job taking photos of each dish but unfortunately got a bit too drunk and went off doing other things. Hopefully I will be able to document it in a more complete manner on my next visit! Also... I don't really know the actual names of all the dishes so will just be winging it. Overall, the dinner was super fun and the food was very enjoyable. Definitely a great place to go with a bunch of friends for a rowdy night - but watch out for the escalators when you leave!

Raw shrimp with garlic
Mmmm this was delicious. The shrimp was very fresh and sweet with the thin slice of garlic being a great bust of flavor. I felt that perhaps the slice of garlic could be slightly smaller because it was a bit powerful but overall it was a great dish! A tangy and spicy sauce was also provided which definitely whetted our appetites. 

The infamous beer bowls
The words 戰鬥碗 means "battle bowl" which turns a plain bowl into a great drinking game where you can be obnoxious and challenge your friends to finish their beer quickly :) Apart from beer, they also serve a very yummy shot mixture that we drank like water. 

The bottle of the bowl means "victory", indicating that you win after you finish all the alcohol in the bowl. I definitely felt a bit too victorious then fell on the escalators. Whoops. 

Liver sausage with broccoli
I actually did not get to try this because I was busy eating something else. 

Clams in lotus leaf
This dish was very fragrant and the clams were sweet and well flavored. 

Dancing around with the lobsters before they were in our bellies

Crispy skinned chicken (sorry -_-)
The chicken was very tender and the skin was crispy and not too fatty. I don't remember what was the stuff sprinkled on top but I do know that this dish was good. As you can see this dinner was a bit blurry. Apologies. 

Reservations are definitely a must because this place is very popular and has a very loyal following. Am definitely looking forward to my next visit and I promise the review will be much more comprehensive!
