Lunch at Lung King Heen

I was excited to finally eat at Lung King Heen. It's one of the best Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong. From their website:

The birth of a candy bar

Somebody out there had a lot of time on their hands and created this cute story about candies.

Sunday Feast at Grissini

We had lunch at my favorite Italian restaurant in Hong Kong, Grissini at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Wan Chai. As soon as you enter the restaurant you can smell the aroma of freshly baked grissini or breadsticks made on site.

Gyu Jin Shabu Shabu & Sukiyaki

We walked around iSQUARE and checked out all the restaurants that were already opened. As soon as we peeked in this restaurant we knew we wanted to try it out. The next night we went back and had dinner in Gyu Jin Shabu Shabu & Sukiyaki without fully understanding what we were up against.

Nolan's Cheddar

This a brilliant commercial! I just love it. You have to watch the entire thing.

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka at iSQUARE

We were thrilled to see that the new mall near where we live was finally opened. The site used to be the Hyatt Regency Hotel and after years of construction it is now iSQUARE, a 31-storey high shopping mall. It has an approximately 600,000 square feet (56,000 m2) retail space area for shopping and entertainment. (Wikepedia). It's also home to the second IMAX theater in Hong Kong as well as UA cinemas.

PAL food and the new 777-300 aircraft

I may be the only one but I just love the food of Philippine Airlines. I don't think it's only because I was in business class. Although that does tip the scales a bit. The food they serve has improved tremendously over the past few years.

Some of our favorite restaurants in Hong Kong

Whenever we go to Hong Kong these are the restaurants we have to eat at. I have featured these 3 places numerous times before so I'm just combining them in one entry. These are the places we ate in the first day we arrived in Hong Kong after Macao.

Cafe de Coral

After lunch at Bambu at the Venetian Hotel Macao, we took the ferry back to Hong Kong. We wanted to have a light dinner after the heavy buffet from lunch. We decided on Cafe de Coral where the food is cheap and good. I already featured Cafe de Coral before but the nice thing about this chain is they keep changing their menu every season. Last December these were their specials.

Lunch Buffet at Bambu, The Venetian Macao

Our room at The Venetian Macao came with either free breakfast or lunch. Naturally we chose lunch. We were told that lunch was at Bambu which had a huge buffet set-up. After taking all these pictures my arm was sore and I lost my appetite. There was just too much food to choose from.

Dinner at 456 Modern Shanghai Cuisine

We had dinner at a restaurant in St. Mark's Square at The Venetian Macao. 456 Modern Shanghai Cuisine has 30 years of experience under its belt. It shows in the excellent food and service.

Portugese Lunch at The Venetian Macao

After seeing all the dizzying choices at the food court, I decided to have the local specialty of Macao which is Portugese food.

Food Court at The Venetian Macao

Last month I went to Hong Kong for our annual Christmas vacation. We went to Macao for a one night stay at The Venetian hotel. It was my second time to stay there.
We went to Macao via New Ferry hydrofoil which we rode from Tsim Tsa Tsui ferry terminal.

Inarizushi

I love sushi but not so much the raw stuff. I can remember the first time I tried inarizushi. One bite and I was in love. I really liked the beancurd skin but I don't usually eat all the rice inside. It's a good thing I saw inarizushi with different fillings in a Japanese restaurant in Hong Kong and it gave me the idea to make my own version of stuffed inarizushi.

California Summer Rolls

One day I happened to see a picture of this dish on a friend's facebook page. I thought it looked good and easy to do. These are the results of my experiment.
