Hong Kong - Xu Liu Shan Dessert

This brand have lots of branch in Hong Kong. They were once in Singapore Shaw building but closed couple of years ago. I had my dessert a couple of times when during this trip, however the airport service was quite bad, so much that i would prefer not to visit this branch. I remember i used to like the Mango dessert at XuLiuShan during previous trip, however this trip, the standard of the dessert seem to deteoriate slightly.

Hong Kong - Sorabol Korean Cuisine

Very near to The Luxe Manor, in a mall. Found this Korean restaurant patronised by many koreanish. Decided to try it out, and ordered a BBQ beef set. The kitchen does the BBQ for me, as they run out of the big table that comes with the BBQ equipment. The Ban-chan (appetisers) was fabulous, 6 dishes for me.... I remember the final bill is around HKD200... And they do have lunch specials which is very economical.

Hong Kong - Honeymoon Dessert (Man Ji)

While at Ocean Terminal, my colleague brought me to Man Ji Dessert located at a big food court for some Mango delights... Ordered a mango with grass jelly + mango crepes... It is quite delicious....

Hong Kong - Causeway Bay Spicy Crab

We went to the eat the famous "Lai Niao Xia", a type of prawn that is bigger than prawn but smaller than crayfish. We took a cab to Causeway Bay Spicy Crab restaurant. It is quite a big restaurant, as ala carte price is expensive, we opt for the 2 pax set at HKD488.

Service is good, the service staff will keep changing our dirty plate.

1st up is their famous prawn cook in spiced fried garlic. A scissors is provided for us to cut the shell, the meat of the prawn is firm and springy, the garlic taste slightly spicy and sweet and good.

2nd up is scallop with vermincelli steamed in the shell.. One word, FRESH

3rd is a surprise soup, who would know clam + seaweed + melon (mao gua) can be such tasty soup. I am not a soup lover but I had 5 bowls of this soup! I declare this dish the best dish for entire meal

4th, is their mild spicy gallons-of-garlic crab. The crab use is sri lanka crab and the amount of garlic used can cook for my family of 3 for 3 months! Luckily they had warn us about taking the medium spicy and advise us to take mild spicy. Even mild spicy is HOT. If you like garlic, I am sure you would scoop the garlic on the shells and eat it with rice!

5th dish is vegetable with century egg and salted egg. I am too full to even eat this, so in the end I just take a bite to sample the taste.

Verdict, I would go for the soup and the prawn definitely!

Hong Kong - Caffe Habitu

During a rest stop before our next meeting, we had some drinks at Caffe Habitu at City Plaza Hong Kong. I do not really like this type of cheesecake, too "tough" for me. The rose tea, does taste good. However, will not repeat visit since their pastry is not what I like.

Hong Kong - Yee Shun Milk Company

Everytime I go Hong Kong, I HAVE to eat at least once for this STEAMED milk! Its definitely much better than those I tasted in Singapore. Soft, fresh and smooth with wholesome milk taste. Not too sweet yet not too plain, just right. They have other variety and served hot or cold.

Hong Kong - Sogo Cafe @ Causeway Bay

Located at the supermarket level, its a popular meal place for the hungry one. The angel hair spaghetti was normal and nothing fantastic, taste a bit bland and I had to add salt to enhance its taste. The warm bread, however was awesome! Water melon with orange, both freshly juiced with pulps, is a good tasty drink to quench thirst. Lobster bisque was acceptable.

Approx HKD150 per pax. They do have set meal which we did not take although its more value for money as we wanted its lobster bisque.
