Decent jajangmyeon, and one of the few places in Hong Kong where Cass is served.

The Globe
The Globe
Shop A, G/F, Graham Street, Soho
Central
The burger, cooked medium rare, was surprisingly good in this unassumingly laid-back British pub. The bun, lightly toasted, was a little dry but otherwise held up the juicy patty with ease. The banger special indicated that The Globe was seriously about its food — the sausage, while neither particularly spiced nor flavorful, tasted fresh and succulent. The dishes were rear-ended by two fantastic cakes and washed down with the Little Creature (citrus, with a very sweet palate), the Holy Grail (light and creamy, with a grainy malt nose and palate), and the “I see no ships” Admiral’s ale (a jolly brew with a citrus nose and a roasty, malty palate that matched up particularly well with the sweet desserts).

António (Macau)
António
Rua dos Negociantes No. 3, Old Taipa Village, Taipa
Macau
If A Petisqueira represented everything that was right and inspiring about affordable Portuguese cuisine in Macau, António could very well be its opposite: the waiters could be scruffy, the food bland and lacking freshness, and the prices unimaginably extortive. The sardines, compared with those at A Petisqueira two weeks ago, were too salty and a little dry after reheating. The arroz de marisco (seafood rice stew) had very little flavor, possibly because the seafood wasn't particularly flavorful (or fresh -- the crab tasted as if it had been sitting in the freezer for far too long). António's possibly only saving grace was its ambiance -- a cute little space in the style of a Mediterranean sea-side hut. A fine guitarist and singer was on hand to imbue the space with soothing Portuguese memories. That being said, there was very little else to support its "Michelin recommended" moniker. Skip.

Chopsticks Kee (筷子記）
Shop A1, Khuan Ying Commercial Building
85-89 Wellington Street, Central
Noodles with braised pork belly, squid balls, and green veggies. Everything came out perfectly in this self-designed concoction: the spice in the noodles soup cut through the fat of the pork belly. The squid balls ruptured with juicy squidy goodies, and provided heft to the concoction. The green veggies were green veggies -- added a layer of freshness to balance out the meats.

Causeway Bay
Fresh ankimo, and chirashi rice bowl. Both dishes were fantastic, and the bill came down to only 250 HKD.
Rating: 1 star to the chirashi, for its fresh fish and reasonable price.
