Lo Hey HK Restaurant celebrates its first anniversary with a brand-new Cantonese Sizzling Claypot Series, featuring over 20 cook-to-order claypot dishes inspired by the high-heat claypot cooking technique popularised in Guangzhou’s dai pai dong (open-air food stalls) in the 1940s.
What sets the series apart is Lo Hey’s seven chef-curated sauces, developed to reflect the savoury and aromatic profiles central to Cantonese cooking, including Classic Claypot Sauce, Pepper Beef Sauce, Ginger Scallion Sauce, “Zhe Zhe” Sauce, Fruity Sauce, Chilli Crab Sauce and Shiso Leaf Sauce.

Stepping into Lo Hey, the dedication to its Hong Kong theme is immediately striking. It’s retro interior channels the nostalgia of 1980s and 90s Hong Kong, with vintage movie posters on the walls, a mock theatre entrance, and a recreated Kowloon-style tea stall.

Signature Hairy Crab Roe Noodles
Before diving into the claypot dishes, we had the Signature Hairy Crab Roe Noodles ($22.80), made with the flesh and roe of three crabs tossed through springy Hangzhou-Shanghai noodles. The mixing is done tableside — a satisfying ritual that lets the golden roe sauce coat every strand.
The flavour is delicate rather than briny, making it accessible even for those who shy away from bold seafood flavours. Accompanying sides of pickled cucumber and marinated black fungus cut through the richness nicely, and a splash of black vinegar or Hua Tiao Wine rounds it out beautifully if you fancy a little more complexity.
Lo Hey’s Claypot Series
Starting off with the Claypot Black Pepper Angus Beef Slices ($24.80), the claypot dishes arrived sizzling hot, the unique fragrances of each dish permeating the air. The beef slices were perfectly velveted and coated with the Pepper Beef Sauce, with the black pepper providing a hint of spiciness without overpowering the palette. It was a classic dish done well.
Another of our favourites was the Claypot Squid with Shiso Leaf ($18.80). The squid was cooked to perfection — firm enough to have real bite without turning rubbery, which speaks to the precision of the high-heat claypot technique. The shiso leaf sauce, flecked with chilli and green bell pepper, brought a bright, herbaceous lift to the fresh squid.
The Claypot Lemongrass Prawn Balls ($22.80) would appeal greatly to seafood lovers. The prawns were plump and snappy, with a natural sweetness that came through clearly. Thinly sliced lemongrass, chunky garlic and onion added layers of fragrance that lifted the dish without masking the quality of the prawns.
The Salted Egg Japanese Pumpkin in Claypot ($12.80) is an easy crowd pleaser. The sweet Japanese pumpkin slices were deep fried to a light crisp, then generously coated in a dry-style salted egg sauce that clings without being cloying. Rich, savoury, and well-balanced — this one disappeared quickly.
Spice-lovers can look forward to the Claypot Pork Belly with Pickled Chillies ($16.80) — be ready for an aromatic hit the moment this one lands on the table! The thinly sliced pork belly was tender and well-rendered, and the generous amount of pickled and fresh red chillies sliced through the fat with a sharp, tangy heat.
The other claypot dishes we sampled were the Sizzling Chicken Claypot with Ginger ($16.80), and the Tai O Shrimp Paste Choy Sum ($14.80). We also tried the nourishing Double Boiled Coconut Chicken Soup ($14.80), which came in a coconut fruit, filled with the refreshing soup, chicken, herbs, and sweet red dates.
Final Thoughts
Lo Hey HK Restaurant’s first anniversary is well-earned. The Cantonese Sizzling Claypot Series is a cohesive concept executed with genuine care and the cook-to-order format means every dish arrives fresh and piping hot.
The Claypot Squid with Shiso Leaf and the Claypot Black Pepper Angus Beef Slices were personal favourites, though the Salted Egg Japanese Pumpkin deserves a special mention for being the unanimous crowd-pleaser of the table.
