Mott 32 - Best Cod Fish On Earth!

Price: $$$$

Cravingness: ★★★★★

Mott 32, an exciting Chinese Restaurant newly opened at central, is the talk of the town lately. I would never ever expect such a great hype on any Chinese restaurant. The grand opening night of Mott 32's was truly grand and magnificent. The entrance was red carpeted all the way to the restaurant, celebrities, skinny models with flashy outfit and smart looking guys were everywhere at the night of the opening.

Mott 32 is the new venture at the gourmet family Maximal Concepts, which also owns restaurants such as Blue Butcher, Brickhouse and Fish and Meat. I am a big fan of the group myself. Given the background, the food quality at Mott 32 is much guaranteed. I was invited over for a tasting at Mott 32 tonight, so let me show you what's good in there.

Yet you can easily spot Salon Number 10 from its crazily cool entrance.

Whenever I go to Macau, I opt for Portuguese because the food is authentic there. This time I went to a new tapas restaurant called Casa de Tapas in Taipa, Macau.

Grandma's Dessert - The Taste of Local Dessert Soup

Price: $

Cravingness: ★★★★★

I know Chinese Dessert Soup is not everyone's cup of tea, many of my friends do actually prefer western desserts more. With chain dessert shops all around the corner, it might be convenient to dine at those places, but I never found myself truly contended with the taste those chain shops offer. There are certain tastes that you feel contented with and feels right and homey. To fish for those tastes, you really have to go to the local shops for authentic tasted Chinese dessert soup. Grandma's Dessert is among one of them.

Kung Lee - Delicious Sugar Cane Cake

Price: $

Cravingness: ★★★★★

Even if you are not fond of or do not believe in the benefits in drinking Chinese herbal tea, you will not resist a cup of sweet sugar cane juice. Among hundreds of herbal tea shops in Hong Kong, Kung Lee has to be the most famous herbal tea shop in Hong Kong.  Having a slight advantage in geographical means, i.e. their shops in the most hectic street in soho and Wan Chai, they sell thousands of sugar cane juice and other herbal tea per day. Same as eggettes, you can claim you have been to Hong Kong if you did not try a cup of this goddess sugar cane juice.

Despite the sugar cane juice, I really love Kung Lee's Sugar Cane Cake. The cake tastes like glutinous cake with its chewiness. The cake was only mildly sweet with a mild sugar cane taste. This sugar cane cake is a light dessert, which you can take it anytime of the day, even before dinner!

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.

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.
