Chef Sam "Tiger" Chung is "simply marvelous." So is his abalone.
Sam "Tiger" Chung doesn't just make deep-fried chili-salt abalone at his Sai Kung restaurant Loaf On. He babies it to life.
So, yeah, he can be gentle, but they don't call him "Tiger" for nothing. Because it's so easy to turn the expensive seafood into rubber, this is a dish that few chefs dare attempt.
Scrubbed, steamed, then dusted with flour ground from seven different grains, the abalone is finally fried for not more than 30 seconds before being seasoned in chili and salt.
With Chung's deft touch, the result is a firm abalone that practically massages your teeth. Food critic Michael Lam calls it "simply marvelous."
Other Loaf On favorites include deep-fried squid and salt and pepper tofu.
