A long established dessert restaurant, Yuen Kee Desserts seems like it’s been around as long as Hong Kong has had neon signs. Assorted Bean Soup is their speciality.

Antique cashier machine, check. Tiled walls, check. Dumbwaiter, check. Close proximity to touristy Temple Street, check. Fabulously old-school, they still have spittoons installed for your spitting convenience. The star of the show here is the baked pork chop rice with a rich tomato sauce, slightly burned on the edges, and served in an adorable metal container.

Spicy Mama is located on the quieter end of Temple Street, away from the throngs of tourists, dai pai dongs and flea market stalls that give the street such fame. But its feisty little storefront, with bright yellow panels and glowing red characters, shouts for attention all the same. (The place is pretty hard to miss.)
From the fast and friendly grub in Kowloon City to the clattering kitchens of Causeway Bay, Hong Kong-style Thai food is best when it’s dirt-cheap. So for Thai Beef Seafood restaurant (located on the “brothel” end of Jordan’s Temple Street), charging noticeably more than these famous Thai areas is pretty hard to justify, no matter how good the food is. Particularly seeing as the restaurant is equipped with two screens showing TVB dramas, plus blasting aircon and tiny stools.
