| Portland Cafe soft opened 10/6 and grand opened 10/29. Managed and co-owned by Albert Cheung '83 and Casam Li '78. The Portland Cafe is not your everyday local 'cha tsan teng', aside from local and western breakfast, lunch is a good mix of perfectly balanced dishes such as seafood and lobster e-noodles, hainan chicken rice, 牛坑腩飯and daily sets. Stir-fried crabs with shrimp roe, claypot fish blubber with sea turtle and seafood hotpot with premium Australian AA sliced beef is enough to make anyone's mouth water. |  |
For the burger crowd, Portland Cafe serves up freshly minced premium Australian AA beef patties to delight the "M" buffs. No turning back after this burger. Then there is also the famous pork chop burger for non-beefers.
The basics such as fried rice, stir-fried beef rice noodles have all been re-engineered. The fried rice dishes uses freshly steamed rice then wok fried to perfection where each grain of rice has the correct amount of suppleness but yet not clumping together, a recipe only the most expensive restaurants in Hong Kong manages to produce consistently. The extreme stir-fried beef rice noodles dons premium Australian beef fingers, un-marinated to hold the beef's juicy texture and taste, absolutely a must do.
Of note is that this restaurant uses Sea Salt in their cooking and NO MSG. Ever tried a plate of stir-fried instant noodles with meat and vegetable combination of your choice? Al dente?
