Howdy Hello Hola Hey Ho!

5 April ' 14

Part1

Uncle Ho's Crunchy Wings - 32k

Marinated chicken wings, fried and tossed in caramelized fish sauce, crunchy garlic and herbs. The wings were tasty! Crisp coating and sweet sauce. But I think the meat was a little bit too salty.

Crispy Pork Belly and Watermelon - 48k

Pork belly coated in black pepper caramel served with fresh watermelon cubes, pickled rinds and toasted sesame. Crispy pork belly, sweet watermelon with sour and crunchy pickled rinds. Quite weird combination, but good.

Mango Mania (Seasonal) - 40k

Warm thai sticky rice with fresh mango slices, mango-cream icy bar and sesame brittle. The fresh mango was too sour, like wayyyyyyy too sour! :( But the mango-cream icy bar was nice.

HK Day 8 - Venchi, Rice Paper, FoodRepublic, Gundam Docks

8 August '13

iSquare

We had breakfast at Jiang Shun Fresh Water Seafood at iSquare. The view was pretty, but the food was just ok.

HARBOUR CITY (VENCHI & RICE PAPER)

We went to Harbour City again to buy Eric Kayser breads. Then we saw this store, and bought some ice creams.

Coffee (HKD 33)

Fig (HKD 33)

Hazelnut (HKD 33)

After walking around for a bit, we went to Rice Paper (my 1st visit, click here)

Hot Lime Ginger Honey

Wok-fried Chicken with Rice Noodles - HKD 88

We chose the dish above from the set menu, the set menu includes 1 drink (fresh lime soda/hot lime ginger honey/soft drink). If I'm not mistaken, the set menu only available until 4pm. The Rice Noodle was tasteless and oily.

Viet Raw Beef w/ Rice Noodles (HKD 68)

The soup is from a beef broth, and there are shallot, coriander, spring onion, bean sprout, thai basil and crispy garlic inside. It was salty and a little bit sour.

Chicken Pad Thai w/ Viet Xo Sauce (HKD 88)

Cooked w/ garlic, galangal, lemongrass, shallot, lime, onion, peanut, chili and dried shrimp sauce. The Pad Thai was tasty! Like this :)

Char-grilled Chicken, Beef and Pork Satays (6 pieces) - HKD 76

We chose pork satays, the pork was a bit bland, but quite tender.

Thai Young Coconut Jelly and Fresh Papaya - HKD 52

 The coconut jelly made from coconut water, served chilled and tastes sweet

Purple Sticky Rice (HKD 48)  - fresh mango, coconut cream and hazelnut praline

The mango was sour, and the portion was quite small.

SILVERCORD 

Then we went to H&M at Silvercord, and  ended up at foodrepublic.

Sichuan Spicy Delight

If I'm not mistaken - glass noodle, horinzo, fish ball and tofu skin with hot & spicy soup (medium) - HKD 54

Hehe I took this pic when we almost done eating. The system is similar with Yong Tau Fu, you choose the ingredients and the soup base.. The soup was really spicy and a little bit oily, but I like it hehe.

Sweetscoop Dessert

Steamed Custard w/ Milk - HKD 14

Mango Pudding - HKD 18

Osmanthus Fragrans Pudding w/ Red Bean - HKD 15 / 3pcs

The steamed custard was smooth, most of them didn't like it because it has a strong ginger flavour. The mango pudding was quite good.

At night we went to Forever 21 at Causeway Bay:

HK Day 3 - Cheung Hung Seafood Restaurant, Harbour City (Eric Kayser & Rice Paper), A Symphony of Lights

3 August '13

CHEUNG HUNG SEAFOOD RESTAURANT (revisit) - 1st visit
On my 3rd day in HK, we had lunch at the same restaurant we had dinner on the 1st day, Cheung Hung Seafood Restaurant.

Vegetarian Chee Cheong Fun (Rice Noodle Rolls)

Fried Shrimp w/ Salted Egg Yolk

Roast Pork

I like the roast pork, succulent meat and crunchy skin.

Oyster & Bitter Melon Omelette

Very tasty omelette, a little bit too salty but still good.

Stir-fried Vermicelli

Didn't really like the taste of it. Kind of weird, there's pickled ginger inside. But I like the pork.

Don't know the name, it's green paprika filled with fish cake.

Chicken Feet

The skin is chewy, there are turnip, small shrimp and celery inside.

ERIC KAYSER
Then we went to Harbour City (again!) because my sister wants to try the croissants at Eric Kayser Bakery.

After we bought some at the Grab&Go Bakery (there's Eric Kayser Restaurant / Le Restaurant du Boulanger right beside the bakery) we went to Rice Paper to eat.

Chouquettes (5pcs) - HKD 25

Chinese Chicken Ciabatta - HKD 20

Chocolate Viennoise - HKD 16

Brasilia Tart - HKD 38

Didn't get to try those 4 above :'(

Croissant - HKD 16

Chocolate Croissant - HKD 17

The crust was crispy while the inside was soft, buttery and flaky. I like the chocolate croissant more, just because I love chocolate hehe. Either way, their croissants were so good!

Chocolate Eclair - HKD 30

Pistachio Eclair - HKD 30

The eclairs is good, but not exceptional. The truth is, I'm not a fan of their eclair.

RICE PAPER
We had our early dinner at Rice Paper, Rice Paper is a vietnamese restaurant, but they also have thai food here.

Vietnamese Spring Rolls (HKD 62) -

Consists of pork, dried shrimp, fungus, egg, vermicelli, sage and black pepper. The deep fried rolls was so crispy on the outside, tastes good too. But here's my favorite!

Prawn Rice Paper Rolls (HKD 75)

The Prawn Rice Paper Rolls! Served cold. There are only cucumber, glass noodle and prawn inside but it was soooo good! I love this dish, it's refreshing. I also love their sweet chili sauce nomnomnom :9

Bun Cha Cold Vermicelli w/ Lemongrass Pork Chop (HKD 86)

Mediocre taste, but the pork chop was quite good.

Seafood Fried Rice (HKD 92)

Fried Rice with calamari, scallop, prawn, fish, pineapple and cashew nut. The rice was a bit hard, but tasty. I like the fried fish inside.

Roast Pork Ribs w/ Barbecue Sauce (HKD 142)

Quite good, and the pork was quite tender.

At 8pm I went to see A Symphony of Lights.
