Tucked away in one corner of
the middle lane in Khan Market, Mr Choy claims to offer cuisine inspired from
Hong Kong. Although Hong Kong has a staggering variety of restaurants and
cuisines, what you will find in this tiny restaurant is a choice of dim sums, small
plates, bento boxes and a few types of noodles.
For those who are familiar with the area, this all-day dining has opened where The Kitchen used to be. While there have been no structural changes in the space, the current restaurant wears a bright, young look and the food is served in an equally fun way. The various dips and sauces come in test tubes, noodles are served in jars and finally one has to dig deep into a tin box for the cheque. While the serving ‘apparatus’ is not entirely user-friendly it does add to the quirky feel of the place.
Coming back to the food,
there’s a limited albeit interesting range of vegetarian and non-vegetarian
dimsums with most baskets offering four pieces each. If you prefer an
assortment there’s even a Dimsum Snack Box
with six pieces of dimsums of your choice. We start with the Cha Siu Bao,
Xo Scallop and Prawn Dumpling
and Chicken
Cheung Fun. While I am generally not a fan of baos I quite like this one
since it’s not too doughy and like one of my friends would put it: the ratio of
bao to pork is good! The scallop and prawn dumpling comes with a flavourful
filling of the prawn with xo sauce, topped with a thin slice of scallop that is
further topped with dried shrimp. And the cheung fun is as good as any I’ve
had.

Then we go for the Peking Duck Rolls with hoisin vinaigrette and the Non Vegetarian Bento Box. Although a
friend who had been here before recommends the duck rolls, they don’t quite
live up to my expectation. The wrap is chewy and I can’t really taste the
Peking duck amidst the medley of vegetables. The Bento box is quite good. It
includes bekti with black bean sauce, butterfly crumb prawn and steamed pork
belly with honey sauce. The prawns are spot on, in that they are perfectly crisp
and non-greasy. I particularly like the spicy mayo that’s drizzled on top. The
fish and the pork belly are both ok – not spectacular but nothing wrong with
them either. All three come on a bed of thin crisps made of
cabbage/onion/potato that add an interesting texture.

Among
the meals in a bowl there’s a choice of Filipino and Chinese style noodles,
Indo-Malaysian flat noodles and the Japanese style soup noodles or Ramen. We go
for Mr. Choy Special or the Filipino
& Chinese style rice and flour noodles with black bean sauce. The thin
noodles are flavourful and a fitting end to our meal.
Desserts
include Sesame Balls, Chilled Mango
Pudding and Custard Bao. While I
am tempted to try the custard bao I already have my heart set on one of my
favourite dessert places nearby. They don't have a liquor licence yet but there's a choice of refreshing mocktails, tea and coffee.
So would
I go back to Mr. Choy? Yes, definitely. Ideal for a
quick Asian meal the menu
offers enough choice to make repeat visits interesting and delectable.
