We've been eating at China Fortune off and on since it was established. My wife has already appreciated it more than I, but I have always been amused by the angry little girl who was the have of the operation. When Hong Kong Island opened some years ago we stopped going to China Fortune.
This weekend, with the Lobster Festival clogging up the city, we figured we'd drop in on China Fortune.
The angry yelling little girl has grown up into a sullen, angry young woman. The big difference is that the food had improved significantly. I've been trying to score a tofu version of Crispy Orange Beef since about 2001 and last night is the first time anyone's done it justice. The Tofu With Mixed Vegetables was also awfully good, and my wife has long felt that China Fortune makes the best Crab Rangoon in the area.
We've found that most any Chinese restaurant will provide tofu analogues of Chinese (and Chinese-American) favorites like General Tso Tofu but they have a tendency to end up with a disappointing texture.
Arriving at China Fortune yesterday evening we found the handwritten menu-board on the wall was almost totally devoted to tofu-based entrees, which proved indicative of a new interest in cooking good tofu options.
I am very grateful, and I will be back soon.
Staff are not overly friendly but the food is good and reasonably priced
Excellent General Tao's tofu and streamed vegetables! The tofu was crispy with a mildly spicy sauce and all was piping hot. Delicious! They close at 8p and at 7:15 they started spraying down tables with a cleaner that I didn't enjoy smelling but the food was excellent.
Good value. I have visited a dozen times now and each time the food was excellent. I like the beef and mushrooms.
