Food: April 2005

Gam Wu Ting - Golden Shanghai Cuisine Restaurant, East Point City, Hang Hau

Noodles with pork in peanut sauce - Daam Daam Min

Braised Tofu with vegetables (Pork was taken out)- Gaa Sayong Tofu

Tortillas (Chapatti made from flour)

Broccoli with Mushrooms

Xiao Long Bao - Not as good as last time

The food at this restaurant is very good and the decor is mostly red in yellow light with touches of blue and green. Dark brown furniture and friendly staff. Service is prompt and good. A place where I would like to go back. $90 per head. Enough food.

Din Tai Fung, Whampoa Gourmet

Din Tai Fung , Chinese restaurant in Whampoa

Rice noodles with soup (made from mung beans with fried bean curd and pork rolls - minced pork wrapped in sheets of bean curd)

Fried rice with egg and shredded pork

Siu Tong Pak Choy (short pak choy) - Yummy!

And my favourite Xiao Long Bao (with pork filling). The sauce inside it was not as tangy. But overall taste was pretty good.

Well-lit, spacious, comfortable chairs, good service. The temperature of water was lukewarm (a rare thing in HK where most restaurants will serve boiling hot water). The choice of food was limited to around 60 dishes. The taste of the food was not very strong and hence quite good. Since we ordered 2 sets of xiao long bao the cost came upto around $100 per head, else around $75.

Many good restaurants under one roof...

Modern China Restaurant, Causeway Bay

Modern China Restaurant, 10/F, Times Square. A place I keep coming back to...for xiao long bao. :-)) Costs HK$100 per head

Kool deco

A cup of warm water, a small bowl, a saucer, a soup spoon, a pair of chopsticks on holder, a wet tissue, a dry tissueand a tooth-pick...these are all you need to survive in a Chinese restaurant...I shall tell you later about holding chopsticks...
