We were back (and tbh on multiple occasions since) at Hong Kong Star Zi Char to check out some of their other dishes.

For $20 to $30 (depending on its size), you yet a good sized fresh grouper fish. The fish is delicately steamed to perfection upon order - moist, flaky and tender. You can tell the fish is fresh because the meat is buttery sweet and there is no muddy or 'fishy' aftertaste.

I like it that HK Star uses a lighter and subtly sweet soy sauce base to accompany their steam fish. It is great over rice and alright even if you 'drink' it up by the spoonful. I find that most eateries tend to use heavier tasting soy sauces either to cover the 'fishy' odours of the fish or to make it more 'flavourful'. To be honest, I think HK Star's lighter touch is better as it allows the natural flavours of the fish to shine through instead of overpowering it.

Hk Star also serves other fishes but they are often snapped up fast. So remember, the early bird catches the fish!
