Dali Beef Noodles

Dali Beef Noodles (大利清湯腩)
5 Wood Road
Wanchai, Hong Kong.
The curry lacked flavors, and the beef was too tough. It wasn't nearly
what it used to be.

Le Soleil

3/F, The Royal Garden
69 Mody Road, Tsim Sha Tsui
Kowloon, Hong Kong.
Appetizer set (spring rolls, bean sprouts salad, and grilled shrimp),
and pho. The soup base of the pho was thin and lacked authority. The
beef balls tasted like it only recently escaped from the freezer.

Linguini Fini

1/F, The L Place, 139 Queen's Road Central
Central, Hong Kong.
Homemade spicy pork sausage with roasted garlic mostarda, and
"Chitarra", a pasta dish with chicken liver, pancetta, brown butter,
and 30-year-old balsamico.

The Chitarra was a horrendous experience:
it tasted like stale pasta curled up in a pool of chopped liver left rotting
overnight at the butcher counter. The pork sausage was much better,
with the pungency of the mustard cutting through and dancing nicely
with the heftier pork fat.

Grand Hyatt Buffet

Grand Cafe at the Grand Hyatt
1 Harbour Road
Wanchai, Hong Kong.
The buffet spread at the infallible Grand Cafe.
The sushi selection was outstandingly fresh, but it would be a
travesty to leave no room for the majestic dessert section. Thanks
uncle Peter for the treat!
