Self-concocted pan-fried foie gras over an open-face coffee macaroon.
Thanks Fi for the treat!

Linguini Fini

Linguini Fini
Central, Hong Kong.
Hand-made linguini with salt-cured egg, cherry tomatoes in a classic
Genovese. The salt-cured egg provided a subtle gravity to the dish,
but it was nearly completely overpowered by the robust basil in the
Genovese. The linguini, cooked to al dente perfection, had just the
right amount of eggy flavors.

vegetarian joint with super-friendly service.

Wing Lai Yuen Sze Chuen Noodles Restaurant

Wing Lai Yuen Sze Chuen Noodles Restaurant (詠藜園四川菜館)
Whampoa Gardens, Hong Kong.
Dandan Noodles, and Hot-and-sour noodles. Both noodles were a bit too
overcooked and soft for my taste. The dandan soup base was too watery
and lacked flavors. The hot-and-sour soup base almost tasted like it
came from a mixture of canned broth and packed spices. The standards
were high back then (about a decade or so ago), but it isn't what it
used to be.

King's Garden Restaurant

King's Garden Restaurant (東來居火鍋料理)
Wanchai, Hong Kong.



A superlative evening of hot pot with top-grade beef (特上牛皇), shrimp
balls (蝦丸), wonton (雲吞), fish-skin dumplings (魚皮餃). The clear soup
base, with plenty of mushrooms and herbs, was first rate.

Pho Tai

Pho Tai
Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.
Xe Lua. Excellent soup base with a tinge of sweetness. Various cuts of
beef were braised to textural perfection yet still retaining plenty of
flavors. The noodles were ok but a tad coarse to the palate.

5 portions of tonkatsu, enough to feed an army (of me!)
