Lung Fung Cafe - Meh...Microwaved food!?

Price: $
Cravingness: ★☆☆☆☆

Spam Sandwich with Scramble Egg and Caviar
Long has Lung Fung Cafe opened in Tai hang and knowing it is opened by a local comedian/ actor, I was never interested in dining there. I had heard some bad comments about the Cha Chaan Tan but I never listen unless I try it myself. Judging from the photos hanging from the windows outside the Cha Chaan Teng, even it was absolutely empty at 8.30pm on a Sunday night, we went in without concerned.

Pak Dong - "Authentic" Hainan Chicken

Price: $
Cravingness: ★☆☆☆☆

I went all the way to Amoy Plaza's Pak Dong Hainan Chicken as it claims to offer "authentic" Hainan Chicken. I checked the reviews which was quite positive and promising, yet you should never trust anyone's taste bud but yours.

Qing Hai - The BEST Duck Noodles in HK

Price: $
Cravingness: ★★★★★

Qing Hai Xiao Guan (澄海小館), a Chiu Chow restaurant located in Ap Lei Chau, is totally a hidden gem and is my new Chiu Chow favourite restaurant. I just found out I have never been to Ap Lei Chau for my entire life, not to mention finding this restaurant over there!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fu Yee Noodles - Amazing Beef Brisket!

Price: $
Cravingness: ★★★★★

Fu Yee Noodles is one of my favourite lunch spot in Kownloon Bay. They offer the BEST beef brisket dishes nearby the area. Fu Yee Noodles are always packed during the afternoon, lines appears early and everyone craves for their beef brisket dishes. 

Yat Yuet Sing - Comfort Food ♥

Price: $
Crave Level: ★★★☆☆1/2

New comfort food spot found near by my work area in Kowloon Bay! Actually it was quite far from my work place,so I have never heard of or been to the place. It is a small Chinese fast food shop in an alley in Ngau Tau Kok which could be easily missed if not paying attention.

Tak Cheong Noodle 德昌魚蛋粉 - My Favourite Fish Ball Bowl

★★★★★
$

It is always me who have the desire to seek and try nice food, but for my parents, all they want might just be a simple yet delicious meal. Tak Cheong Noodles is one of those simple but nice little restaurant that my family and I like alot. Tin Hau actually has a lot of those restaurants, we usually dine there twice a week for quickie but nice dinners.

Wing's Catering | Just a BBQ-alike Chicken


I had been longing to dine in Wing's Catering for long, and finally I had my chance tonight. Wing's Catering was just right next to Mackie Kitchen on Caroline Hill Road, which I was excited to find out upon my last visit to Mackie Kitchen.

There wasn't much people dinning on a Monday evening, lots of tables were vacant. The waiters were having their dinner at the customer's table (isn't most staffs usually eat in the kitchen?) and the waiter gave me a weird look when I entered the restaurant. The elder waitress was very friendly and eagerly introduced their dinner sets to us, so we took that without much thoughts.

Harbour Kitchen - Chicken Pie with Golden Brown Crust



My friend hosted a gelato booth in the food exo in the HKCEC last week, so we paid her a visit and walked around the expo at the same time. We went to the Harbour Kitchen at the HKCEC for tea before walking around.


There was a great flow of people flushing in and out of the expo at 2pm, so there was a short queue in front of the restaurant. Upon arriving the restaurant, I immediately spotted the pastry window display and had my time in choosing between Pineapple Bun and Chicken Pie.....Chicken Pie won at last.


The Chicken Pie had the perfect look - golden brown crust. I hold no resistance in golden brown pastry, they are simply a work of art. The pie crust was slightly sweet in taste and was quite light on the palette. The chicken cream filling wasn't that tasteful as I thought it would be. I haven't had Chicken Pie for a while so I could not make any comparison. I need to try the famous one in golden fung and several other Chaa Chan Tengs before I could draw any valid conclusion.

Golden Castle - Fried Pork with Flat Noodles


Fashion buy month came and there is no time to waste, my colleagues and I walked in any restaurant that had immediate available seats for a quickie lunch. We passed by this restaurant whose waiter stood at the door shouting "Seats available" in the restaurant.

五谷香粥店 - Ulmost Inexpensive Congee

Getting sick from the abrupt change of weather, I took leave from work and decided to hibernate under my blanket for the whole day.

Before I went for a doctor, I want to cure my hunger first. I wanted a bowl of congee and the only restaurant that springs to mind had closed down for quite a while already. The next area which will still offer congee should be in Jardine's Street and here I found a big word of Congee on a restaurant's bill board.


Hokkaido Dairy Farm Milk Restaurant - Scramble Egg Sandwich


Having heard of Hokkaido Dairy Farm's fame, today I finally had the chance to dine in here. There was quite a lot of people queuing at the restaurant when we arrived at lunch, but the wait was only around 10 minutes before we got our seats.

宏發燒臘 -| Mediocre Roasties at Attractive Price

Having much work to do at office, I decided to eat take away for lunch today. Speaking of take away food, I immediately thought of this roasts take away store that I passed by several times a week. When I arrive the restaurant, there was a few people queuing for the lunch boxes. A lunch box with 2 roasties cost only $20 which was quite a bargain.


Tai Hing Roast - The Best Dish

If you ask me what is the best dish in Tai Hing, I will carry no doubt and shout 'Baked rice with BBQ pork and peach in honey sauce'. It is simply too delicious that I could recall its flavour vividly on my palate whenever I think of the dish.


Du Lac Bleu | Quickie at CWB

I recently found out it is pretty difficult to find a restaurant that you have never visited before and at reasonable price. We remembered there is a Cha Chaan Teng that does pot rice in Jardine's Street and went straight down to fill our stomach.


The restaurant was packed on a Sunday evening, the waitress directed us to the second floor where more seats are available. The restaurant on the second floor where interior was simple and seemingly less nicely furnished. Tables and chairs were simple wooden chair. There were several fans hanged on the high wall and producing breezy winds. Heaps of picture sticked on wall showing their significant dishes in the restaurants.

Yuen Kee | The Best Beef Brisket By Far

Beef Brisket noodle bowl is such a normal dish in Hong Kong that I do not hold any particular expectation on them. Yet I do notice the quality really does differ a lot from restaurants to restaurants. I am no expert in food, but I do believe the beef brisket tasted best when there are small amounts of fat attached to it, so it better be not to lean.


Tai Hing | Tiny Branch Nice Roasties

Working late tonight,  starved to the max, I ended up dining in Tai Hing for a quick dinner. The branch was tiny here as they only offered roasted dishes here. I was a bit disappointed since I was planning to have baked barbecue pork dish, anyway the most important thing now was to fill my stomach.
