| - Such an awesome place, I cannot say enough good things about this great restaurant. Once upon a time in Hong Kong, there were many places like this....And I do mean a long time ago like in the 70's/80's. My wife made a funny comment tonight about Maple Yip. As an artist, she tends to be very sensitive beyond the 5 senses. Her comment was: I always feel a sense of well being after dining here, such a rare wonderful feeling. As for me, based on my years of eating out at many places, I can tell you a place like Maple Yip is 1 out of 100. (I have eaten at over 1000 eateries and I can only count within 8 places that are similar)
For the true value oriented Foodie, here is my suggestion: Go for the fresh catch/seasonal of day special like live shrimp, fish, shellfish, etc. Compliment it w/ a veggie dish plus a rice or noodle dish. You can't beat it, your taste buds and digestive body will thank you!!!
Almost forgot, specific recommendations:
1. E Mein (noodle) w/ Eggplant. Best E Mein ever for me!!
2. Dry Stir Fry Sticky Rice with cured meat. One of the best ever.
3. Duck w/ plum, very ducky/gamey in a good way.
4. Bok Choy/Gai Choy, both good in various versions.
5. Live Fish, Scallops, Vanc Crab, all excellent well executed.
