Gao gei 🙂

Curry Beef Brisket Noodles!

I ordered the thicker noodles, the “e-min” (might have spelt it wrongly) .. But it resembled mee pok in Singapore.. well kinda one of the closest I could get and it went really really well 🙂

Cooled down

I will super miss this!!!! Super love it I will miss this super much! But I do hear that the queue get quite long .. I was quite lucky to be able to go at odd in between hours .. so .. and maybe because I was alone, so it was easier to get a place to sit 🙂

one of my favourite beef brisket noodles … 🙂 ahhaaha ..  Why didn’t I go to this place earlier .. mannn -_-

坤記煲仔小菜

This place was introduced to me by my taiwanese boss, who brought me there, together with another colleague to get to know another friend’s friend that worked in Goldman Sachs.  That dinner was quite .. formal, so it wasnt convenient for me to keep taking pictures of what i ate.

Thankfully my brother, who came to Hong Kong on exchange managed to find a place at Sheung Wan, and , co incidentally, he stayed so near this place!! literally parallel to this place! I super love it! but sadly between the 2 of us, what we can order is quite limited..

Ko lo yoke (Sweet and Sour Pork)

Pork Bone Soup

Lup Cheong Chicken Claypot rice

If only there were more of us .. but the clay pot rice is a real classic! I loveed the sauce that comes with it!
The soup was just awesome! its pepper based and the stomach inside was washed quite thoroughly! – doesn’t have the smell.. The soup base is just awesome!
The sweet and sour pork was still crispy even when drizzled with sauce!!!
Super must come back to this place no matter what!!

and on the way home, guess which tvb celebrity i saw!!

Chen Hao!

He looks so much slimmer real life 🙂

BBQ (Third Street)

I was supposed to meet my ‘hk dad’ for dinner.
I stupidly took a tram BUT forgot to bring my wallet ..
the tram driver was kind enough to let me off..
I took to the last stop and called my brother to rescue me (fortunately hes around to help me)
and thankfully so he joined us for dinner as well (although he was grumbling he had alot of work to clear and blamed me thoroughly)

 

Baked Prawn

Bamboo Clams

Lambs

Stir fried Squid with beansprouts

Fish Cake with mini surprise inside

 

Its two shops located opposite each other .. kinda yakitori style stuff as well but very yummy!
Something different from the normal

I didn’t manage to capture the bulk of what we also ordered – it got eaten up too fast too furious
But i will return here for the mini surprise fish cake thingy! and the Foie Gras!

Sun King Yuen Curry Restaurant 新景園咖喱小廚

My brother is in Hong Kong for exchange!! Good thing hes around! can always trust him for good food hunts :p
so hes putting up in my place until he manages to find a place to live in …

he found this curry pork chop rice that is super duper yummilicious!! we have been eating everyday for lunch! especially when we are all lazy to cook or even to have to push each other to go and ta bao for the other (ok it always ends up to be me)

ta dam!!!!

I think its amazing how the portions in Hong Kong is always so BIG!  and yet the people here are like either super skinny or super duper skinny.Look at this pork chop! its can cover the whole rice portion!!!

Curry Sauce!!

the curry sauce is a little too oily for me BUT , when you just combine it together.. you just can’t stop eating it! like really can’t stop putting it in your mouth! and amazingly!! WE FINISHED IT ALL!!!!

to take away is cheaper, but this is a definite hit. I could eat this almost everyday!!!

Tak Hing Restaurant 德興酒家

So we are back to try, as previously mentioned, my colleague is on his quest to eat this all you can eat steamboat!
I am quite excited as this will be my first hong kong style of steam boat!

The practice here is that, you kind of make your own dipping sauce for the steam boat! such a huge array to choose from!!
