Holt's Cafe: Divine Char Siu Rice with Excellent Reputation

This divine bowl of char siu rice is located inside the rosewood at Holt's Cafe, a classic Western-style restaurant layout with black and white walls and velvet red booth seating, simple and elegant decor. Unexpectedly, it offers a variety of tea restaurant delicacies and handmade Cantonese dishes, such as soy sauce king fried noodles, dry-fried beef ho fun, wonton noodles, sweet and sour pork, shrimp toast, and more, as well as plenty of Western food. This fusion menu is like the cultural blend of East and West that formed Hong Kong's local characteristics a century ago. 🌟Bread Basket The bread basket contains two types of bread: a pointed sourdough Baguette and a soft, long bread roll. With a bit of butter and the heat of the bread, it quickly melts into the loaf. 🌟Hong Kong-style Milk Tea & Yuenyeung Incorporating cocktail techniques, there are large square milk tea ice cubes in the glass, and then milk tea or yuenyeung is poured from the glass bottle, as if you're handcrafting a drink yourself, full of ritual. The first sip is fragrant and smooth, the tea is golden in color, without any graininess, and there's a sweet aftertaste on the tongue. 🌟Golden Mushroom and Conpoy Seafood Soup Cantonese people love to start with a bowl of soup, and this soup gives a sense of shark's fin soup. The golden mushrooms and conpoy create a chewy texture in the mouth, slightly salty with a fresh and moisturizing taste. 🌟Hot and Sour Seafood Soup A classic Sichuan appetizer soup, thickened to the right consistency with a hint of numbing spice. Although the flavor is strong, it's not muddy, and it's super rich in ingredients, with seafood and shrimp in every bite. 🌟Sesame Shrimp Toast The outer layer is fried to a crispy delight, with a high proportion of shrimp meat. The bouncy shrimp races in the mouth, and it's also a large portion that's very satisfying. 🌟Crispy Fried Wontons Fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a thin and fragrant skin, filled with fresh and bouncy shrimp meat. The crunch when bitten is a direct hit to the climax in the head, and the sweet and sour sauce adds more layers of flavor. 🌟Divine Char Siu Rice Finally, the highlight of the show, the city's most prestigious char siu rice, made with Spanish Iberico pork, Japanese organic fried eggs, rice from Yamagata Prefecture, and ancient secret soy sauce. The char siu sauce secret recipe includes the strongest soy sauce fermented for a long time. The fat and lean ratio of the char siu is just right, with the fat hidden in the tender meat, no burden at all when eaten. Open the half-cooked fried egg, mix it with the well-colored scallion oil rice underneath, and eat it in big bites for a great enjoyment. 🌟Baked Tomato Spanish Iberico Pork Chop Rice Using firm and evenly sweet Spanish Iberico pork, first coated in flour and fried to a golden crisp, then placed on top of golden fried rice, topped with fresh tomato sauce baked until all the flavors penetrate the rice, and finally crowned with a sunny-side-up egg to create a legend. 🌟Silky Steamed Milk & Mango Pudding The dessert after the meal is made with substantial ingredients and rich flavors, with sweet mango pieces and a strong milk taste, a perfect full stop.
