Tak Kee Chiu Chou Restaurant

This eatery, which started out as a hawker stall in the 1990s, has retained its casual vibe. The second-generation owner shops for groceries daily and sometimes helps with kitchen chores. Grey mullet is steamed and served chilled with the original Puning bean paste dip. It can also be steamed with dried plums or salted lemon and served hot. For parties of four or more, consider pre-ordering steamed eel in lotus leaf at least two days ahead.
