To-Try HONGKONG Eats

The most extravagant yum cha I've ever partaken of at this 2 Michelin-starred restaurant located 102 storeys above ground, at The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong, no less.

The food is refined and delicate; service is top-notch – friendly but non-intrusive; and the view! Oh, the view 😍😍😍 .

We definitely over-ordered for two (we had 6 dishes) but the bill came up to just S$60 per person, which I think is pretty reasonable for the whole experience. I would certainly encourage at least one visit here for those who have never been.

Then they will add stock into the leftover and turn it into Hotpot. Over time mala lost its numbness but you can ask for extra mala paste.
Then additional ingredients for the Hotpot was inclusive. My personal favorite will be the sliced snakehead fish and sliced beef.
Cheap and GOOOOOD! 😋😋😋

In Chinese culture, we had a believe of nothing-goes-to-waste and always looking for good omen. So in the old days, the chef shaped the lard, liver and pork loin into circular shape. Then gazed with honey to achieve the golden coin appearance. .

Their roast had no trace of gamy taste. The char bite around the roast was sure a delight to eat. It costed more than normal order of roasted goose and char siew, and people were more health concerned. Resulting the dying act of this traditional roast. .
|
If you don't dare to eat liver or lard, just go for their roasted meat. No regretted. .

Opened for only 3 months, it's cheap and high quality sushi had attracted large crowd. Their stall was so small and hidden that you might just walked pass it without knowing it was a sushi place. What caught my attention was the long Q.
The light sourly sushi rice with fresh sweet uni. With the popping roe providing the savoriness to complete taste. The owner used a luke warm rice to lightly warm up the uni to enhance its flavor. Unknowingly I finished it with two bites.
Why did I order one! 😂😂😂 .

This coffee shop had been there since I could remember. Serving up fresh baked pies. You could either choose between a slice or mini whole pie. .
|
My favorite will be their chicken pie. Creamy filling with chicken and ham. The warm filling with the buttery crust reminded reminded me so much on my primary school days. 😋😋😋

In 1950s, there were hundreds of families living there (the foodie's grandfather was once stayed in one of the dorm). In year 2000, the building was empty. So in the mid 2014, the government renovated the dorms into cafes, restaurants and designer stalls. .
|
This was one of the eateries which I recommended. A Japanese style cafe with in house coffee roaster and baker. Their coffee was rather strong and bitter than expected. However, I had one of my best chestnut pie EVER. Despite of the price, each pie contained ONE whole chestnut. The combination of light savory biscuit base with soft sweet chestnut was awesome. They used the best ingredients they could get their hands (like the chestnut was import from Japanese) and hand craft every edible item. .

Buy a latte and cake. Sit on the corridor and image the police officers playing their kids. Such lovely place. .

This 50 years old "Bamboo" noodle stall which was super famous of their dried noodle. Currently, the son had taken over the stall as the second generation. To meet their demand, they had opened another branch which was bigger and air conditioned. .
|
Don't judge its taste by its look. It looked rather messy but the taste was out of this world.
The springy noodle with "poping" dried tiny shrimps resulted with very interesting texture. The strong contrast of flavors between the strong savoriness from the dried shrimps and braised beef gravy was like having a tag of war with the taste buds. I highly recommended to try their "black" omasum, wanton, braised beef brisket and tendon. No regret. .

One day, there were five friends who were sick of their white collar jobs and decided to start their cafe. This was a dream of many but their dedication of creating a family-feel cafe made them stood out from the rest. .
|
Hipster interior design and every corner was so Instagram-able. Every day they will put their personal speciality to the menu, so you might not be able to find the similar dish. Most importantly, the common dish like egg benedict was not where be found (which I like). In addition, their food was surprisingly cheap and GOOD! .
|
Everything in the cafe was self service. Some might find it inconvenient and feel that the service was unfriendly. However, after exchanging a few words with the staffs, they were the friendliest people ever! .

Hidden away from the busy streets of Central Hong Kong. We dragged our food coma bodies up the hundred of stone stairs, and finally we arrived to this cafe. Once stepped into the cafe, immediately we noticed the different. Unlike the other touristy eateries, we actually felt relaxed. .
One cup of perfect swam latte with an acidic start but a fruity finished. .
If you are looking for a place to relax and hide from the busy street, this is the place to go. .

Went to the motherland of Roasted Goose, Yuen Long district. Despite all the famous roasted meat stalls, this was the unique one. They only served roasted goose, Chinese wine chicken and char siew. As compared to other stalls, such stall offered this limited variety was very uncommon in Hong Kong. .
|
The owner insisted using 4.2kg "black" goose from Guang Zhou. Even though it was more pricy, it's meat was more tender. To achieve the crispy skin, the owner air dried for a day and clothed with vinegar and honey before roasting. One bite, it's juices raised under the skin and the fragrant just flooded my entire palate. Remember to eat it with their sour plum sauce to reduce the fattiness. Best roasted goose ever. .
|
I didn't get to try their char siew and Chinese wine chicken but from the smell, I believe they were worth a try. They also have a hidden dish - braised innards (try it if you dare). .
|
If you ever visit this place with your family or friends, ordered half a goose and couple of beer (blue girl), you will have the best afternoon ever!
Come after 12, you must prepared to Q for at least 30mins. .
