Mel, a friend from university days, was visiting Hong Kong with her husband on the last weekend of February and the couple suggested eating at Yellow Door<\/a>, a private kitchen in Central that they knew of. Dinner at this private kitchen comprised these dishes.
\nThere were a total of eight appetisers that came to the table all at once.

\nTo find it, look for this 7-Eleven at the Mid-levels escalator. It’s the small building next to the right of this 7-Eleven. It’s a three-minute walk from H&M.
\nThough Yellow Door Kitchen is mentioned in the Hong Kong edition of the Michelin guide, I wasn’t bowled over by their food. Most of the food was mediocre and nothing to rave about. The stir-fried diced chicken was way too dry and hard. The biggest disappointments were the rice noodles and the fried prawns. The noodles were too bland and I didn’t bother finishing the bowl after taking a bite. I made it a point to mention its lack of flavour to the waiter. He only apologised but didn’t bother to follow up with the complaint. The prawn batter was too soggy and thick and the prawns didn’t taste fresh. Dessert was also very uninspiring and boring. I mean, even if you wanted to serve a traditional dessert, at least attempt to put a spin on it! I wasn’t impressed by the lack of imagination.
\nOnly two dishes were good – the Shanghai stuffed duck and the smoked pork rib with honey and pu-er tea leaves. The Shanghai duck was stuffed with glutinous rice and the pork rib was very tender. There’s nothing like a delicious piece of pork ribs!
\nService was pretty good but not exceptional and the dinner cost us HKD298 each. It’s not a place I would return to, and for the same amount of money I think there are better places to go to for a meal.
