Description

There's a reason this minuscule Hong Kong-style restaurant installed stainless steel tables: to avoid scorch marks from its specialty, "stone bowl steamed rice," which comes in oven-hot bowls. There's not much to it-white rice topped with pork and salted fish or shrimp curry-but the bowl toasts the edges of the rice, and that's enough to pack the room. Homestyle HK also serves small eats like congee, boiled or steamed dumplings, 7-Up with salted lemons, and toast with condensed milk. You can't eat much finer for $5 than the soup noodles with curry fish balls and bok choy.
