Heard about Lau Hing Kee which is apparently known for their sheng jian bao (生煎包) amongst other things. While they don't claim or hint to be the best ones around, their rendition was pretty nice tasting. There's a few branches of their shop and we found ourselves in the one at Mongkok (Shop D, G/F, Wah Fat Mansion, 1M-1T Tung Choi Street, Mong Kok, Hong Kong).
What's memorable here was that soya bean milk is bottomless for anyone eating here.
These were the sheng jian bao. Many people describe the well done renditions to be juicy but what metrics can one have for juiciness?
Ours were this juicy. 😬
There's vegetable rice with hairy crab roe sauce.
What one can expect is a heavy thalassic umami from the crab meat and roe laden sauce which reminded me of dried shrimps/hae bee/虾米. Loads of oil richness and crabbiness in there so the vinegar helps.
