Malaymama - My Malaysian Love

Price: $

Cravingness: ★★★★☆

My sudden crave of Malaysian food brought me to Sheung Wan to revisit my old love, Malaymama. I could not tell Malaysian cuisine's authenticity, all I know is Malaymama is good!

BurgeRoom - Interesting Strawberries Fries

Price: $

Cravingness: ★★★☆☆

We were trying to find a spot for brunch on this sunny morning (but with a T3 storm warning), went to Coffee Alley wanting to try our luck but the line was freaking crazy! Really? Wait an hour for a cup of coffee? You must be joking. The closest restaurants near us would be Caroline Hill Road, but we found out nothing opens before 12pm, not even cafe who offers waffles. We decided to Lunch at Ramen Jo, and went to Burgeroom for a cup of coffee to wake us up.

Tsui Wah - Great Hang Over Food

Price: $

Cravingness: ★★★★☆

Tsui Wah as everyone knows it, is a local Cha Chaan Teng famous for many of its Cantonese dishes such as fish ball noodles, curry beef brisket and crispy condensed milk bun. I actually consider Tsui Wah to be partially international especially the one located at Wellington street, where it is almost a Must Go restaurant for traveler in Hong Kong. Sometimes I joke about Tsui Wah's success lies on this very branch.

[Macau] Escada - Tasty Baked Duck Rice

Price: $$

Cravingness: ★★★★★

Restaurante Escada is located at a beautiful building on the staircase of Xin Ma Lu in Macau. It offers delicious authentic Portugese cuisine in romantic settings. The restaurant is spacious with three floors to accommodate guests. Service is excellent, staff are friendly and helpful.

To be completely honest I was not in a conscious status the night I dined at Escada, so I will just state whatever I remembered.

Lang Fong Yuen - Condensed Milk Bun

Price: $

Cravingness: ★★★★★

The Lang Fong Yuen branch in Shun Tak Center is a convenient spot for travelers between Hong Kong and Macau (actually most likely people from China), I usually went for breakfast or snack if I happen to be going to Macau.

Condensed Milk Bun

I got the condensed milk bun today as I intended to lunch over at Macau but I was starving at that point. The bun was not too expensive, priced at HKD$13 (if I remember correctly). I had the bun to go, so it was delivered fresh and hot.

MAD FUN + MIRACLE - The Koala Biscuit Ball

If you have followed my instagram, you might have noticed I uploaded a photo of me holding a pretty gigantic (in relative terms) chocolate ball on a spoon. For those who have not yet followed my ig, here is what I have uploaded. (My instagram ID: foodcraverhk)

So what was this about? A while ago, there was a huge hype on a trick/magic on the koala bear biscuits which basically everyone was talking about it (or at least knew about it). The rule is simple:-

Liberty Private Works - Be Prepared to be Amazed!

Price: $$$$$

Cravingnes: ★★★★★

Liberty Private Works (LPW) is definitely a dinner that you have to try at least once in a lifetime. It is a dinning experience with delicious food, good paring wine, excellent service with brilliant night view of Hong Kong. LPW offers Prix Fixe menu with 8 courses, priced at HKD$ 890 and definitely worth every single penny. The setup of LPW is simple and direct with an open kitchen and bar seating. Chefs are experienced and each is assigned to a specific work role so there is no crazy running around and food flying across the table. Everything is made and present from scratch right in front of you eyes, with chef explaining the dish upon serving. Ambience is chill and fun at the same time. I really LOVE this place.

Choi's Kitchen - Delish Eel Clay Pot Rice

Price: $$

Cravingness: ★★★☆☆1/2

My friend is a loyal customer of Choi's Kitchen, she intended to bring us there on this Saturday night but we couldn't make a telephone reservation. We still went however to see if by chance that someone would cancel their booking. The manager recognized my friend and arranged a table for us within minutes after seeing how sincere we want to dine in there lol.

Choi's Kitchen is a Hong Kong local style restaurant located in Tai Hang. The settings was very simple with several wooden tables and stools. The place was small and uncomfortable to seat in, but the food is nice and very homey.

Zuma - Great Semi-buffet Brunch (Not the Main though)

Price: $$$$

Cravingness: ★★★☆☆

It's my best friends's birthday and we started the day with Zuma's brunch. Initially I decided to go without alcohol, but as I stepped down the spiral stairs, I was immediately offered a glass of Bellini. How evil, so I have no choice but to compromise and had their wine brunch! :P

I had never been Zuma for food, I have only been to their bar so I was kind of surprised by its nice dinning settings beneath, particularly the al fresco area. Both the indoor and outdoor furnishing are impressive, grand but relaxing setting.

Mikichi - Not Bad Spicy Ramen

Price: $

Cravingness: ★★★☆☆

Being flushed by all these ramen feeds and discussion, I could not withhold my indulgence and went to mikiichi for a spicy bowl of ramen for today's lunch.

Mikichi had a vast variety of ramen available - Hakata, Sapporo, Shoyu, Hakodate, Udon and Soba in both cold and hot broth. Given this wide range, I actually doubt if the quality would be good since most great ramen place that I have been specialised in specific kind of ramen they are great at. I know I should perhaps try their Hakata or Sapporo first, but I just crave for a bowl of spicy ramen right now.

Silly Boo - Terrible Froyo

Price: $

Cravingness: ★☆☆☆☆

I have been to Sillyboo for quite a few times but never really wrote a review on it. Froyo was actually my intiative to start my own blog, then share reviews in different platforms. Froyo race was once my big goal when the froyo stores in Hong Kong can be counted with your two hands.

Same as many froyo stores, Sillyboo has several froyo machines for original flavour and seasonal flavours. Sillyboo offers free tasting of their froyo before making your final choice. The flavours of the day that I went were Caramel, Mango and Original. I asked for a tasting of the caramel froyo and found it was crazily sweet, so I went for the safe choice, the original flavour.

The Yuu - Tamagoyaki

Price: $$

Cravingness: ★★☆☆☆

Tamagoyaki is one of my favourite Japanese food. I have tried some Tamagoyaki in Japan and they all tasted pretty nice. I usually like them fluffy, smooth, eggy and mild to stronger sweetness. Many restaurants in Hong Kong fail to make tamago in distinguishable layers which leads to very solid and dense omelete texture.

My friends said the Tamagoyaki in The Yuu is nice and brought me there today to give it a try. They ordered Tamagoyaki with cheese for me and left me with no choice. (I generally prefer traditional Tamagoyaki if possible.)

Mak Siu Kee - Great Canto Food that CANNOT be missed.

Price: $

Cravingness: ★★★★★

Mak Siu Kee Traditional Wonton Noodle (麥兆記) is a tiny little store specialised in wonton and beef brisket noodles on electric road. My family and I have always been a fan here. Their beef brisket noodles by far is my favourite in terms of flavour.

The News Room - Love the Pear Tarte Tatin (only)

Price: $$

Cravingness: ★★☆☆☆

The News Room, located at Quarry bay is the my last restaurant to try in the Press Room Group. We came here tonight to celebrate my friend's dinner and to take advantage of the 40% off on the al la carte menu every Tuesday with American Express Credit Card. The dinner was enjoyable with my lovely friends but the food offered by the Press Room Group was once again quite disappointing. Fortunately my friends still like it, if not I would feel bad about it.

Beautifood - Healthy Salad with an Asian Twist

Price: $

Cravineness: ★★★☆☆1/2

Beautifood, a salad bar opened by the Demon Chef Alvin Leung, owner of molecular cuisine Bo Innovation and MC Kitchen, is a healthy option in the city. With Chef Alvin Leung, one would expect some kind of interesting twist to Beautifood. Instead of molecular, Chef Alvin decided to infuse Chinese ingredients into the salad to challenge our taste bud and mindset as salad is western food.. Ingredients such as Chinese vinegar and shrimp paste would be used. Interesting!

[Macau] Fernando - Delicious Roasted Pig

Price: $$

Cravingness: ★★★☆☆1/2

After a tearful but fun beach play at the Black Sand Beach, we felt too hungry not to eat before heading back to Hong Kong, so we decided to dine at Restaurant Fernando before we headed home. The restaurant was almost full house at 6pm on this Sunday, so we waited a bit at the garden, played some fuseball before we got seated.

Yardbird - My Bon Chon Chicken Substitute!

Price: $$$$

Cravingness: ★★★☆☆1/2

Dining at Yardbird can sometimes be frustrating, because it is hard to get a table. Weekday is probably a better time to try Yardbird as it is definitely less crowded. So does Yardbird really live up to the hype? Actually it depends what you are looking for - Food, Drink or Vibe. Food wise, there were several dishes that impressed me. Drink wise, they have an extended drinks list and I love their whisky collection. If you are coming in a party of two, Yardbird is not in romantic settings and might be too noisy for you. While if you come in a big group who also happens love to drink, you will have a great night here.

Cafediréct - Nice Coffee from your Kitchen

Coffee culture is wide spreading in Hong Kong. Even though there are numerous commercial coffee shops like Starbucks and Pacific Coffees or homey coffee cafes and shop all over Hong Kong, there are always times we want a nice cup of coffee at home. So for people who does not have the coffee machine at home, our best option is ground coffee. I was invited to join a coffee tasting by Cafédirect, a UK coffee brand carrying the Fairtrade label, where they introduce a new range products of blended roast and ground coffee to Hong Kong.

Fatty Crab - Finger Licking Good!

Price: $$$

Cravingness: ★★★★☆

Fatty Crab, originated from United Stated is the new restaurant and bar offering South East Asian cuisine on Old Bailey Street, Central. Bringing over many spectacular dishes like Chili Crab, Fatty Duck and Pickled Tomato and Pork Belly from NYC,  along with the amazing bar offering unique and interesting cocktails list, Fatty Crab is going to be the next big hit in Hong Kong.

Inspired by Malaysian, Thai, Indonesian and Vietnamese cuisine, be prepare to have your palette spiced by the Fatty Crab's dishes. Flavourful, robust, sweet and spicy are what you will find in here. Even cocktails that I had tonight infused with ingredients such as ginger syrup, lime juice, thai basil etc. Fatty Crab is indeed an exotic dinning experience.

Carnegies - Granny Bar but Free Champagne!

Price: $

Cravingness: ★★★☆☆

Carnegies is a pub where you see old people everywhere. Alcohol is pretty cheap in here. There are different deals every night after 9pm at Carmegies and on Wednesday, it's Ladies Night with free champagne.

Mr Bing - Yummy Bing!

Price: $

Cravingness: ★★★★☆

Mr Bing is offering their original Bing for free for breakfast from Jun 3-5 to celebrate for selling 50,000 since opening. I went on the last day today for breakfast since my cat woke me up an hour earlier than normal and I was hungry. lol

For some reason I always thought Hong Kong people are crazy about free stuff, so when I was expecting a line in front of Mr. Bing, there was surprisingly none.

The Pawn - Failed me once again

Price: $$$

Cravingness: ★★☆☆☆

For those who does not know yet, there is a 40% off al la carte menu at the Pawn every Tuesday with any American Express credit card. You can also enjoy 20% off in any other nights! Many restaurants under the Press Room Group are offering this special, The Pawn is one of them. Make sure you take full advantage of this offer, which ends on August 31st, 2013.

King of Coconut - Delicious Coconut Milk!

Price: $

Cravingness: ★★★★★

I once thought the coconut drink at the King of Coconut tasted really bad and it was just a fame. I went passed The King of Coconut today and wondered what the taste is like as I forgot, so I bought two bottles to share with my friends.

Kee Tsui - Walnut Biscuit Went Wrong :(

Price: $

Cravingness:★★★☆☆

This is my one of my favourite childhood food, a chewy mochi with red bean paste. Pretty sweet to taste but is good for a snack. The mochi was slightly pan fried to give a golden brown colour, but it was rather oily.

Best Bull Hotpot - SPICY! Chicken Pot

Price: $$

Cravingness: ★★★★☆

My sister brought me to The best for spicy chicken pot before and I quite like it. The spiciness was good, the spicy aroma can make you choke and the spicy sauce can make you cry. Their chicken is very tender, juicy and is very flavourful as it absorbs the essence of the spiciness from the sauce. We had Medium spicy tonight, but if you can take spicy, I suggest you get Large Spicy!

Mazazu Crepe - Bad Hokkaido Ice-cream

Price: $

Cravingness: ★★☆☆☆

After having the Hokkaido milk ice-cream in Times square's Kasho Chaya(菓匠茶屋), I fell deepy in love with Hokkaido ice-cream. I passed by Mazazu Crepe when I went to the supermarket and Sogo and found this enormous sign promoting thei Hokkaido milk Ice-cream. I was immediately interested and went to get a cone.

Kisses - Red Velvet Cupcake

Price: $

Cravingness: ★★★☆☆

Red Velvet Cupcake is my favourite cupcakes at all times. I was pretty much spoiled by the yummy cupcakes that I had in the US.

Until now, I still don't think any cupcake shops in HK are comparable with the ones in US in terms of cupcake moistness, cream cheese taste and texture. The best I found so far is red velvet cupcakes from Cake-ka-licious.

Jenny Bakery - 4 Mix Cookies

Price: $$

Cravingness: ★★★★☆

Despite the 8 Mix, the 4 Mix is pretty nice too. The main difference between the two mix is the texture of the cookies - 4-mix are cookies with softer and fluffier texture, while 8-mix are cookies with harder texture with more buttery taste. If you like more fluffy and soft cookies, you should definitely get the 4-Mix.

Jenny Bakery - 8 Mix Cookies

Price: $$ (HKD$150 for Size M)

Cravingness: ★★★★★

There are food that are truely addictable, which one cannot stop eating one after another. Jenny Bakery's cookies is definitely the opium. I can polish half a tin in a day, I just cannot stop indulging in it.

My love in Jenny Bakery emerges since when I was still in Secondary School (What? Like 10 years ago?) My mom said when she first bought Jenny Bakery, they don't even have a popper store, just a pop up store at a Pharmacy  Well, i dont know if its true, I just know I have been having this cookies in a bear cookie tin for a long long time.
