What's this salad of gray lumps in white dressing?

Seasoned Advice Asked on December 23, 2020

I can identify the green lettuce at the bottom, but not the physical matter under the red maraschino cherry. I happened upon this on Open Rice for a popular Western cuisine restaurant in Central, Hong Kong.

  1. What are the gray lumps?

  2. What white dressing is this?

One Answer

This is potato salad, cubes of cooked (boiled) potato in a dressing of mayonnaise. If you are looking to replicate this, the typical cha chaan teng (茶餐廳) style potato salad might have some sweetened condensed milk, something like a 4:1 ratio of mayonnaise to condensed milk. Also, the garnish appears to be half of a cherry tomato, rather than a maraschino cherry.
