Put Chai Go (Hong Kong)

we arranged to meet Eva for the Tim Hou Wan.

while walking over, we shall this stall selling Put Chai Go...



to think that previous trips i specially went over to Wellington (The Central area) to look for this. But in terms of taste, the one at Wellington area is better.

Tang Yuen 溏苑 (Hong Kong)

after showing us where tim hou wan is, we went for desserts at Tang Yuen...

Shop 1, G/F, Paradise Square, 3 Kwong Wa Street, Mong Kok



there was a short queue outside but we managed to get seats pretty fast, maybe coz it was already quite late. one thing i noticed about hong kong vs singapore is that many of their food places open till late unlike here in singapore. and i mean their YUMMY food places opens till late!

we shared a cookies and cream looking thingy...




it was not bad. pretty smooth cream like thingy.

the mango dessert....





which i didnt try coz i dont eat mango.

had a baileys with milk custard and pulau hitam dessert...



this is really good! given that im someone who likes panna cotta, the milk custard is like panna cotta. and i love the texture of pulau hitam to begin with... and with a tinge of baileys, its great!

Fei Jie Snack House 肥姐小食店 (Hong Kong)

after dinner, Oka and Eva brought us to show us where the Tim Hou Wan dim sum place is and along the way, she recommended this Fei Jie snack house.....

Shop 4A, 55, Dundas Street, Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong.



apparently they said its very famous. it went on tv and many celebrities actually would drive pass just to buy this!

we shared a stick of octopus, pig liver and kidney. its rather good. esp since its chilled (something different) and they add sweet sauce with mustard.

Morihachi Yakiniku 盛八 (Hong Kong)

Met up with Wendy's friends Oka & Eva who brought us over to Sheng Ba - Morihachi Yakiniku. Turns out this branch is just right opposite my hotel (Sun Hotel). Less than 2 mins walk away!

3/F, 38 Plaza, 38 Shan Tung Street, Mong Kok











the BBQ, was fabulous! Seriously, its damn good! Oka did the ordering and it was just rounds and rounds of fabulous food.

Wendy loves ox tongue so Oka ordered the thick and thinner sliced ones...





these are some of the meat...




the pork collar is incredible. its sooooo tender yet you can still taste.. the texture of the pork. the ox tongue is also amazing. the chicken is also damn good!! much better than the yakiniku we have in singapore!

some of the precooked stuff.

chilled tofu, beef tail rice, salad, korean pancakes..



the chilled tofu is soooo good. many people like chilled tofu, i typically find it ok. but this one they have is darn good coz its got a very nice sauce (and im not usually a very saucey person.. if u know what i mean)

the salad is also damn good! the sauce is sesame sauce... really good!!

and more meat!




they are just damn good!

and the whole meal came up to about HKD$1200. Which is around SGD$200. I believe a meal like this in singapore would reach around SGD$300 - $400!!

Sheng Ji Porridge 生记粥面 (Hong Kong)

and of course, my absolute favourite porridge!!

东方街9号地下(YMCA对面) facing Cityview Hotel



pig liver and fish belly porridge!

Damn good! super big pieces of pig liver done just right! fresh pieces of fish belly making the porridge tasting really good!

Tong Tat Hk Cafe 通達食店 (Hong Kong)

after checking in, i walked over to yau ma tei area to look for my favourite curry fish balls and porridge!

旺角花園街172號地下

tong tat hk cafe...





sincerely feel they have the best curry fish balls i've tried in hongkong be it in terms of taste or texture!

Singapore Airlines

i reached the airport at around 5 plus. im heading for HONGKONG!!

my SQ meal. choice of carrot cake vs vegetarian egg dish...



can't believe SQ's onflight meals have got to this standard. really not nice...

and to make things worse.. my onflight entertainment is spoilt...





even the one next to my seat is spoilt.

Ah Meng Cafe

we did a quick lunch at Ah Meng cafe..



love their big glasses of iced tea!



very refreshing!

i had a nasi lemak...



the nasi lemak was not bad. drumstick can be a little juicier. i think the one at bird park is nicer.

lea had a curry chicken...



not bad, pretty tasty too.

With A Pinch Of Salt

decided to check out With A Pinch Of Salt along tanjong katong road recommended by kaizhi...



the interior of the place reminds me of clarity cafe....



very cute graphics....



peach soda...



mushroom soup...



cheesy fries...



carbonara...



fish corden bleu...







braised beef squid ink pasta...



the pastas and the fish were generally not bad. and for its price its pretty good!

cheesecake..



and the molten chocolate cake...



kaizhi strongly recommended the chocolate cake. its not bad.

Crystal Jade Kitchen

dinner with joey and ishan at great world's crystal jade. amongst the many crystal jades, i think great world's one has the best service and its the most comfortable one.

had the pork bone soup...



love their beef slices, pig liver and amathus (if i spelt it correctly)...



joey greatly enjoyed the beef too.

Da Paolo Gastronomia

it was lunch with fishy and han to catch up after a long time. we decided to do lunch at da paolo gastronomia because my appointments were in town and i have just been madly into da paolo these days.


headed to the da paolo over at battery road...



i love their spinach flan!



although it may tend to get a little oily after heating up but its really good!

spinach lasagna...




also one of my favourite! their spinach lasagna is one of the best.

fishy had a aglio olio...



which i felt was normal.

hand had a boring chicken sandwich (hahaha.. i generally find sandwiches kind of boring)

Todai

headed over to MBS for dad's birthday celebration. Decided to check out Todai because of many good reviews...




cost around $58++ per person (if i recall correctly).

the overall todai experience was.. hmm.. didnt really like the food (not dislike, just didnt like).. coz most of the food in terms of taste has not been very favoursome.

the savoury items...



decent taste (as in can eat)... but nothing wonderful.

they have loads of sushi rolls.. lots of interesting rolls...



but again, in terms of taste, it was just decent.

snow crab...




fried stuff...




sashimi..




the best item is probably their promotional item which is the korean strawberry which is very sweet....





desserts...




complimentary cake because its dad's birthday....




the cake was a normal fruit cake.

Geylang Beef Kway Teow

we went for supper at the geylang beef hor fun place...




there were 4 of us.. but because we were going to order frog leg porridge too, we decided to order just a 2 person portion and add beef. the server when taking orders actually mumbled our orders and asked if its 2 persons portion at $18!!

we were like WHAT?! we asked her how much is the 2 pax portion and she said $10! where got people add $8 worth of beef one?

i told her we're not carrot heads. we requested for a $12 portion...



which i believe even if we asked for the $18 portion, we will be served the same amount!

standards of their beef hor fun have greatly dropped. u cant even taste the beef taste anymore.

frog leg porridge from the opposite lane...
