HK (D1) - 大家乐 (Dai Kah Lok)

大家乐 (Dai Kah Lok) is a chain restaurant populated in HK. Whenever you walk to, you can see their signboard. In other words, they are quite similar to McDonald in Malaysia but they don't sell burger only. Instead, they have much more choices to choose from. Rice, mee, western food and even small steamboat pot.

Well, this is very first meal i have in HK once i have checked out from HKIA and settle with my hotel room. It was starving at that time as already pass my dinner time so we give this a try as strongly recommend by my HK colleague. ^.^

When i walked into this Restaurant located at Jordan, i as shocked as the place is full of crowd even though already pass 8.30pm. We need share table with other customers as we hardly get an empty table.

One set of steamboat pot for two. As estimated, HK meal portion
is much huge compare to Malaysia. So this portion is already
enough for two hungry person. Can you see the stove? It is pretty
small to heat up the pot but it manage to boil the soup in short time.
