陈添记 is tucked into an old house with the entrance down a side alley - rustic and atmospheric. It’s a cool way to experience traditional food in a setting that feels untouched by time. Don’t get me wrong, the place was kept clean despite the old-school vibe. We came to try the traditional fish skin. The texture and taste are somewhat like jellyfish, served with peanuts. I liked it, but my family wasn’t into it. Glad I tried the dish though - it’s one of those unique local specialties you should experience at least once.

Interesting dish. Fish skin is thicker and slightly harder akin to eating seaweed. Not heavy in taste, goes better with peanuts for salty mix. Nice place tucked along a lane.

More a snack than a meal sorts of place. Average tasting congee and chee Cheong fun. Cold tossed fish skin salad was pleasant. Salty hits of soy sauce pairs really well with congee.

This is an old and famous shop serving blanched fish skin in soy marinate and cilantro as its best known speciality. There is also congee, rice rolls, pig trotter and an interesting selection of drinks as well. The setup is your most basic but fish skin is no longer commonly found in Hong Kong and this specialty of Chen Tian Ji really is nostalgic for me. And it is a high priority visit item for me.

Great place for a feed. It is close to the pedestrian shopping zone. Food quality is still good as 20 years ago. Although quantity had been reduced. Simple menu, meal for 2 shall involve 2 bowls of congee, 1 rice noodle roll and 1 fish skin. It shall be a good combination!
