Exploring the Shau Kei Wan area, we decided to try out 一家 (English name: Yi Jia) as it had recently garnered a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Located inside a shopping center, it was rather quiet during lunch period.The interior was a bit retro with hip decor.During lunch, they have a lunch set menu. Menu is in English and Chinese. They have noodles or you can order a main with a bowl of rice. The rice sets come with an appetizer and soup. For the rice, you can upgrade to Shanghai vegetable rice for $5

During lunch, they have a lunch set menu. Menu is in English and Chinese. They have noodles or you can order a main with a bowl of rice. The rice sets come with an appetizer and soup. For the rice, you can upgrade to Shanghai vegetable rice for $5 but they had run out that day. We both decided to order two mains from the rice sets to share.
The soup of the day was a lotus root, pork and purple rice. It was extremely salty.
The first main was Deep Fried Fish and Pineapple with Sweet and Sour Sauce ($68). The sauce was a bit on the sour side. I don't mind as I do like it a bit more sour. The fish was perfectly cooked with the coating super crunchy. Not that much pineapple was found but there was plenty of capsicums.
The other main was the Braised Minced Pork with Soya ($68). The pork balls was a lot smaller than most places. However, there was a lot of softly braised vegetables. A few slices of bamboo shoots and one shitake mushroom was found. The mince pork balls was super fluffy and it was mixed with chunks of shitake mushrooms. I've never had one that mixed that in before. This was also on the salty side.
Food is a bit too salty. Service was fine but not really Michelin worthy in my opinion. Now that I write this and look back at the menu, I realize we never got our appetizer! We didn't notice we were to get one but we should have. And this was never explained to us why they didn't give this to us. Was it they forgot or they ran out? Never explained and we'll never know.
