Pak Loh Chiu Chow Restaurant (Times Square) — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

I usually only eat that Pak LOk Times Square which is a top notch Chiuchow place. I know because I am also Chiuchow who grew up eating homemade Chiuchow food. This is the closest to lovingly made Chiuchow food that you can get. Judy the manager (Judy 姐) at Time Square branch is the most knowledgable and helpful as she will recommend what’s seasonal.
