I have recently spent quite a large amount of money medically and am quite depressed. I have therefore decided to spend my hard earned money to entertain myself rather than sending them the doctor's way. Today I have treated myself a lovely caviar lunch in order to please myself. Here's the menu. My main course was Lobster with Risotto. In fact Caviar House and Prunier has a retail shop at Pacific Place, but they have a small restaurant attached to it. They have only four 4-person tables, but I want the fifth one which is towards the entrance of the shop so I can see more products and peop ..read more

If you're a meat lover, then you would love my lunch today - Grilled Chicken Fillet, Bacon, Cumberland Sausage with rice and vegetables. The lunch set includes a coffee/tea/soft drink (free to refill). Soup is free, but only when supply is available. Wanchai Stadium is a sports bar in Lockhart Road.  I live around this area, so it's easy for me to do lunch at the bars.  In fact most of the bars in Wanchai are just like any ordinary restaurants and serve lunch sets during lunch hour. As they are bars in the evening, the restaurants usually have bar tables and high chairs. For Wanchai ..read more

I went to my grand niece's 100-day dinner last Saturday. Traditional Chinese usually hold celebration dinner when the baby is a month old.  Nowadays the younger generation fancy for 100-day or 2-month or 3-month dinner.  Well I like the 100-day idea as the baby will be strong enough to meet friends and relatives. Red Eggs with Sour Ginger This starter is unique for new born babies' celebration dinner. Chinese usually distribute red eggs to friends, relatives or even neighbors to announce the arrival of their new born family members.  But I don't know why sour ginger is always ..read more

Fried rice could be one of the most popular Chinese/Cantonese cuisine in Hong Kong, locals and expacts alike. The ingredients for fried rice could be very flexible and as creative as possible. Let me introduce a few of the most popular ones. Yangzhou Fried Rice should be on top of the popular list. When we think of fried rice, Yangzhou Fried Rice comes to our minds. The main ingredients are prawns, char siu, eggs and most likely something green.  Price range could be below HK$50 up to over HK$100, depending on the kind of restaurant you go. If you go to Chinese restaurants within 5-star ..read more

Most Cantonese in Hong Kong love siu mei, I am just one of them. Siu mei is an important part of Cantonese cuisine. We have them at high profile banquets, mid range one-person sets, a la carte, down to casual restaurants, supermarkets and even take-away meal boxes. Siu mei shops are easily found in Hong Kong. The one below is a typical siu mei take-away shop. You can see a wide selection of poultry like chicken, goose, duck and pork, char siu and a lot many others. Price list is usually displayed at the entrance. Among all siu mei, the BBQ whole piglet is the most expensive. If a banquet st ..read more

2019 Chinese New Year is just over. Today is the 10th of January in Chinese calendar. It's time to summarize my eating history over the festival. On day 5 of CNY, nine of us went to cinema at Time Square and had dinner after. As I said in my last post, I love siu mei, so do many of us. So we had three in a row - roasted pork (char siu), goose and chicken. I must say siu mei is widely available in Hong Kong, but good quality ones are rare, especially char siu. The one here served on hot plate is one of the best among what I have ever had.  Noodle and Rice are always our favorites ..read more

Here are my top 10 Chinese foods. It is a difficult list. Because there are so many yummy Chinese foods that I love.  Let me introduce them one by one. 1. Fried Rice - Yeung Chow Style 揚州炒飯 This is not only my favorite. I am sure it is one of the top sellers among Hong Kong restaurants.  Interesting thing is, if you go to Yeung Chow and ask for a Yeung Chow Fried Rice, nobody knows about it. If you say fried rice with prawns and cha siu, then the waiters will know, but they call it Hong Kong Fried Rice.  2. Fried Beef Noodle 乾炒牛河 Another top seller in Hong Kong. If you ask a ..read more

After 10 years of writing this Hong Kong Food Blog, I have decided to shift the blog focus a little. If you love this blog, I am sure you love Chinese food as well.  Beginning 2019, I am going to talk more about Chinese food – anything that I know about them, including any interesting facts if possible. So you will get to know Chinese foods better and love them more.

I am glad that I live here and have chances to taste the C ..read more

Haven't update this blog for some time, but I'm back now.  After the crazy year-end eating in 2018, life seemed to have gone back to normal. Well! It becomes crazy again when I took my sister for her birthday lunch last week. My aim was to have Peking Duck, but the lunch set menu looked very attractive. So we decided to give our stomach a challenge - set lunch + half Peking Duck. There are many Peking Garden around in Hong Kong. But only the one at Star House has half a Peking Duck available. Others has to order for a full duck. Even so, a full duck here is cheaper than the Peking Garden ..read more

I have decided to go on a 3D2N local tour to Tin Shui Wai / Tuen Mun which is at the northern part of New Territory.  As I live in Wanchai, it takes 1-2 hours to the destination, so I consider this as a local trip.  I stayed at the Harbour Plaza Resort at Tin Shui Wai.  The room is very spacious - 409 sq ft. with very good open view. The cost is only HK$720+10% per night including breakfast, which is actually a very good deal. After checking in to the hotel, we went on a visit to the T Park at Nim Wan Road, Tuen Mun. It is a sustainable sludge incineration plant featuring ..read more
