They have only four 4-person tables, but I want the fifth one which is towards the entrance of the shop so I can see more products and people. The have also a coffee bar so you can simply go there and enjoy a cup of coffee. </span></div>

26. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As for the soup, there were different descriptions between English and Chinese. English says "</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Seafood Chowder" but Chinese says </span> "<b>海鮮周打蜆湯</b>". <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">First, 50% of the soup was potato. I don't mind adding potato to chowder but not to that extent. Second, I could sense something from the sea but unable to tell what they were. Finally, the Chinese version says "<b>蜆</b>", but I didn't think there were any.</span></div>

54. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Now, here comes the main course - my very favourite lobster and risotto. Making risotto and lobster at home is very time consuming and requires good cooking skills, so I'd rather eat them at restaurants. The risotto is cooked with lobster sauce, very very very well done and delicious! And of course the main super star - the lobster is very fresh, delicious and nicely presented. It's simply perfect!!</span></div>

94. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you're a meat lover, then you would love my lunch today - Grilled Chicken Fillet, Bacon, Cumberland Sausage with rice and vegetables. The lunch set includes a coffee/tea/soft drink (free to refill). Soup is free, but only when supply is available.</span></div>
95. <div style="text-align: justify;">
96. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
97. <div style="text-align: justify;">
98. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Wanchai Stadium is a sports bar in Lockhart Road.  I live around this area, so it's easy for me to do lunch at the bars.  In fact most of the bars in Wanchai are just like any ordinary restaurants and serve lunch sets during lunch hour. As they are bars in the evening, the restaurants usually have bar tables and high chairs. For Wanchai Stadium, they have both sofa booths and bar tables, up to your choice.</span></div>
99. <div style="text-align: justify;">
100. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
101. <div style="text-align: justify;">
102. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Some bars in this area serves regular lunch menu. Some changes their menus daily. For Wanchai Stadium, they change only occasionally.  Recently they serve 9 sets of lunch ranging between HK$78 and HK$128, without service charge.</span></div>
103. <div style="text-align: justify;">
104. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
105. <div style="text-align: justify;">
106. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In terms of quality and quantity, I am totally satisfied. Waiters are also friendly. I have a big thick piece of grilled chicken fillet, two slices of bacon and a thick sausage, although I would appreciate to have more vegetables. Out of my expectation, the soup today is quite Chinese style, however delicious!  </span></div>
107. <div style="text-align: justify;">
108. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
109. <div style="text-align: justify;">
110. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Looking around, the two ladies next table had a big big bowl of chef salad, and the meatball spaghetti had 4 ping-pong size meat balls. My dish is exceptionally delicious as all these meats are my favourites. Although the dish size is relatively big, but it's fine for me as this is my breakfast, lunch and dinner as well.  If you are my blog follower, you should know that I eat one meal a day. So a relatively big portion is fine for me.</span></div>

199. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In fact, when the baby girl was 12 days old, my nephew started to distribute ginger vinegar with pork knuckles.  I'm not quite sure if this tradition is valid across the entire China, but in Hong Kong and Guangdong, new mothers eat this to restore strength and health after giving birth to a baby.  These are also presented to friends and family to indicate the arrival of a new baby. The vinegar is sweet and pork knuckles has lots of collagen, together with ginger and eggs, many people love this yummy dish. They make it at home on regular days and some restaurants even have this on their menus.</span></div>

205. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In Hong Kong, when you receive an invitation for whatever reason, a gift check is almost mandated. But the value may depend on many factors, like the friendship between you and the host, is the host a very close relative and sometimes the dinner venue may counts. I was told that the standard gift check for one person is HK$800 which is rather a bottom price.  As for me, I paid far beyond the minimum because this is my nephew's first baby girl!</span></div>

221. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Yangzhou Fried Rice</b> should be on top of the popular list. When we think of fried rice, Yangzhou Fried Rice comes to our minds. The main ingredients are prawns, char siu, eggs and most likely something green.  Price range could be below HK$50 up to over HK$100, depending on the kind of restaurant you go.

It is commonly known that we should not use freshly cooked rice, as they are rather moist and sticky, not ideal for stir frying. Dry and cool rice (even from overnight) could produce the best effect. Each and every single rice could be clearly identified.  </span></div>

We have them at high profile banquets, mid range one-person sets, a la carte, down to casual restaurants, supermarkets and even take-away meal boxes. Siu mei shops are easily found in Hong Kong. The one below is a typical siu mei take-away shop. You can see a wide selection of poultry like chicken, goose, duck and pork, char siu and a lot many others. Price list is usually displayed at the entrance.</span></div>

418. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This question seems easy, but is actually difficult. Although there are lots of siu mei shops in town, but good ones are not easy to find. And please note there is no logical ratio between price and quality. Let's take a look at the following two char siu rice that I bought recently from take-away shops. The $98 one looked good but upon eating, I gave it 1 out of 5. The $26 one looked less attractive but upon eating, I gave it 4 out of 5. </span></div>

438. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Nowadays many people like to read reviews when they are searching for restaurants. The largest platform in Hong Kong is called OpenRice. Interesting thing is, the $98 shop enjoys extremely high rating across the entire web, i.e., all reviews (except mine) says the char siu from this shop is the world's best. The $26 shop not even receiving any reviews. So be very careful when you read reviews. Personally I will read about the restaurant setting, location, decoration, environment etc. As for the quality of food, people could be subjective. And I also doubt if all reviews are from actual consumers, such as the $98 shop.</span></div>

446. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; text-align: left;">Now back to the question "</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Where to Buy Good Quality Siu Mei?" There isn't a definite answer. First, test your luck. i.e. go buy from any shop. Remember the good ones only. But frankly, almost all siu mei shops around my home are being black-listed by me for all kinds of reasons such as poor quality, poor presentation, poor service and so on. Once you got a short list, stick to them.</span></div>
447. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
448. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
449. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
450. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Another way to find a good quality siu mei shop is by the queue outside the shop. The shop below in Wanchai always has a long queue. No matter what day and what time I pass by this shop, there are somewhat 30-100 people queuing outside. These are 'human reviews' rather than 'written reviews'. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">These are people who queue to pay for the food they want, no matter on a rainy day or sunny day. So give it a try if you can afford the waiting time. </span></div>

466. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">On <b>day 5 of CNY</b>, nine of us went to cinema at Time Square and had dinner after. As I said in my last post, I love siu mei, so do many of us. So we had three in a row - roasted pork (char siu), goose and chicken. I must say siu mei is widely available in Hong Kong, but good quality ones are rare, especially char siu. The one here served on hot plate is one of the best among what I have ever had. </span></div>

513. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>On the New Year day</b>, my brother took us out for dinner. This was the fish that I want to highlight. I live in Hong Kong, fish dishes are nothing new to me. But I must say this one was very unusual.  It's the tail of a giant grouper. </span></div>

517. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Estimated from the size of the tail, I think the whole fish may be over 1 meter long and weighted 15 kg. It was slow cooked with some tofu sheets and roasted pork and served on hot pot. The waiting time was a bit long but we all thought it deserved. There were big lumps of meat which made us fully satisfied. Although there were bones, but they were big and easy to be identified. Even I don't really like fish bones, I love this giant grouper very much.</span></div>

The basic ingredients are generally preserved sausages (lap cheung), preserved meat and dry shrimps. We can add others per our personal tastes. My friend knows that I love abalone, so you can see there was one in the middle, and there were slices of dry scallops as well.</span></div>

But this one was from a friend, so I had to re-heat by steaming which is rather environmental and healthy.</span></div>

608. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
609. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This is not only my favorite. I am sure it is one of the top sellers among Hong Kong restaurants.  Interesting thing is, if you go to Yeung Chow and ask for a Yeung Chow Fried Rice, nobody knows about it. If you say fried rice with prawns and cha siu, then the waiters will know, but they call it Hong Kong Fried Rice</span>. </div>

617. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
618. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Another top seller in Hong Kong. If you ask a restaurant owner how many dishes he sells in a day, I think the number is going to be in 100s. The ingredients are simple, only beef and flat noodle, with dark soy sauce. Some chefs add onion or bean sprout as accessories. The beauty of this dish is ‘wok heat’. Sometimes we can smell it from the next table. If you eat it in a small casual restaurant, the ‘wok heat’ is stronger. Because the time between it is done and get on to your table is a matter of seconds. It is so beautifully attractive and delicious. </span></div>

624. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
625. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This is a Shanghai dish. There are many variations in Hong Kong. I found the most authentic one in Xiao Nan Guo. As its name, it is simply plain noodle mixed with some dark soy sauce, green onion and oil. I had this recently in Shanghai. They serve with toppings while Hong Kong generally serves the plain version.</span></div>

632. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
633. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I love this dish. I must order it if it is on the menu. Again, very simple ingredients, simply stir fried the prawns with eggs. The trick is ‘quick’ to ensure the eggs are silky smooth and the prawns are al dente. I have learned to cook this dish. The prawns are par-boiled before mixing with the eggs.</span></div>

644. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
645. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">These are typical Cantonese way of cooking a number of meats, pork, chicken, duck, piglet etc., mainly applying high heat or real fire, hence the name ‘siu’ (meaning ‘burn’). I love all of them, but Cha Siu in particular (see photo above). But does the name ‘siu mei’ look a bit odd? In fact, it is a direct translation of the pronunciation. It is widely used in Hong Kong. See the photo below showing a shop selling siu mei rice, they called themselves ‘siu mei fan’. ‘Fan’ is the translation of ‘rice’. Expacts who live in Hong Kong long enough may understand. For visitors, I doubt.</span></div>

654. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
655. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I came across this dish at Sichuan Restaurant in Beijing some 10 years ago and loved it since then. So I’m not quite sure if it is a Sichuan cuisine or Beijing Cuisine. In Hong Kong I think it is available in Shanghai or Beijing restaurants. Try it once, and I’m sure you’ll love the special fragrance and the juicy and tenderness of the duck. </span></div>

662. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
663. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Hot pots are very popular in cold winter days. For me, mutton hot pot is the top choice. They are served on real fire in order to keep the heat. As mutton is somehow smelly in nature, therefore there are also water chestnuts, mushrooms, tofu sheets and bamboo shoots in the hot pot in order keep the smell away. Lettuce is usually served in a set. But some restaurants cut the price down by not serving the lettuce. So you would have to pay extra, if you want it. </span></div>

670. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
671. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Hong Kong is an island, so seafood is almost the favorite of everyone. I used to love seafood feast, i.e. the entire meal consists of seafood only. But I am really afraid of struggling with bones and shells which frequently hurt my mouth. So abalone has gradually become my top pick. Simply steamed and served with green onion, hot oil and soy sauce is very yummy. If you buy the dry ones, they are extremely expensive. Fresh ones are good and economic.</span></div>

688. easiest way of cooking. Add some garlic will be perfect and healthy as well.

699. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After 10 years of writing this Hong Kong Food Blog, I have decided to shift the blog focus a little. If you love this blog, I am sure you love Chinese food as well. </span></div>
700. <div style="text-align: justify;">
701. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
702. <div style="text-align: justify;">
703. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Beginning 2019, I am going to talk more about Chinese food – anything that I know about them, including any interesting facts if possible. So you will get to know Chinese foods better and love them more. And of course I will continue to report my dining experience as usual. </span></div>
704. <div style="text-align: justify;">

706. <div style="text-align: justify;">
707. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hong Kong is Asia’s World City and almost any kind of Chinese foods are available here. I am glad that I live here and have chances to taste the Chinese foods that I love. </span></div>

711. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The new section of this blog is called <b>I LOVE CHINESE FOOD</b>. If you want to browse this section, go over to the side bar labels and click on <b>I LOVE CHINESE FOOD</b> and these posts will pop up. There will also be sub-sections like ILCF – breakfast; ILCF – dinner; ILCF – eggs; ILCF – poultry…and so on. I hope you get it.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span></div>

719. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I clip food photos as a hobby. As I collect these photos for my personal appreciation, copy-right has not been an issue. But now, I doubt. I try not to use others’ photos, but if I did, I apologies in advance.  Should you find your photo in my blog and want it to be removed, please drop me a comment or send me an email. Alternatively please send me a link so I can list the source of the photo, which I will consider a win-win option. </span></div>

742. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Haven't update this blog for some time, but I'm back now.  After the crazy year-end eating in 2018, life seemed to have gone back to normal. Well! It becomes crazy again when I took my sister for her birthday lunch last week. My aim was to have Peking Duck, but the lunch set menu looked very attractive. So we decided to give our stomach a challenge - set lunch + half Peking Duck.</span></div>
743. <br />
744. <div style="text-align: justify;">
745. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There are many Peking Garden around in Hong Kong. But only the one at Star House has half a Peking Duck available. Others has to order for a full duck. Even so, a full duck here is cheaper than the Peking Garden at Alexandra House. Although the one at AH has the highest rating from tourists, the one at SH here is newly renovated and has harbour view. So it is still one of my most favourite restaurants. </span></div>

754. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you want to view the duck cutting show, there is a show window where you can view the restaurant. Since Peking Duck is a high demand item, so duck cutting is on-going most of the time.</span></div>

840. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have decided to go on a 3D2N local tour to Tin Shui Wai / Tuen Mun which is at the northern part of New Territory.  As I live in Wanchai, it takes 1-2 hours to the destination, so I consider this as a local trip.  I stayed at the Harbour Plaza Resort at Tin Shui Wai.  The room is very spacious - 409 sq ft. with very good open view. The cost is only HK$720+10% per night including breakfast, which is actually a very good deal.</span></div>

843. <div style="text-align: justify;">
844. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">After checking in to the hotel, we went on a visit to the <a href="https://www.tpark.hk/tc/" target="_blank">T Park</a> at Nim Wan Road, Tuen Mun. It is a sustainable sludge incineration plant featuring spa pools, extensive gardens & a wildlife habitat. A HK$53 billion environmental construction which went into work in 2016.</span></div>

847. <div style="text-align: justify;">
848. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">After the visit, a friend of mine who lives in Yuen Long took us to Tuen Mun for a seafood dinner. There are many spots in Hong Kong famous for seafood, Tuen Mun is one of them. The place we went was called Sam Shing where there are many seafood sellers and restaurants.  We bought the seafoods and then took them to the restaurant which charged cooking fee only. </span></div>

Quite an interesting and unique restaurant featuring duck and wine. If you are interested in Peking duck and any other duck dishes, and enjoy a glass of wine with food, this is an ideal restaurant for you.&amp;nbsp; Pinot Duck is located in Wanchai, not far away from MTR.&amp;nbsp; As its name denotes, the menu is full of duck. Although it serves Chinese food, the restaurant interior is very western style.&amp;nbsp; The menu is different from any traditional Beijing restaurant and its selling point is Peking Duck X Wine.&amp;nbsp; So it has quite a wide and good range of wine for your choice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It is one of the “Top Ten Chinese Noodles” popular in northern China. The operation process: the flour and lumps, the left hand to lift the dough, the right hand to take the arc knife, the surface one by one to cut into the boiling water pot. If you eat this in Shanxi, you may even see the chef's live demonstration. A very interesting process.</span></div>

As in Hong Kong we seldom could find this in the market.  Again, simple cooking method, fresh ingredient and high cooking skill.  Simply stir fried and dished up with transparent gravy.  Some restaurants like to cut it into thin and long slices, but the Beijing Home cut it into small lumps - another feeling in the mouth, which is good!</span></div>

Although it came in 5 minutes only, the breads were hot and fresh from the steamer. Since we ordered for half, we lack the fun of having the chef do the duck cutting demonstration in front of us.</span></div>

I would say if the dishes arrived within longer intervals, we would have more time to enjoy the taste of the foods.</span></div>

1085. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Have you ever tried Chinese seafood Christmas dinner?  I did it last night, on Christmas Eve 2017.  Dining out on festival day is usually crowded, expensive and low service level. Therefore I tried an opposite way and found it worked well.  I.e. Chinese food for western festival and western food for Chinese festival.  And this was the reason why I had a Chinese seafood Christmas Eve dinner last night.  My strategy proven to work.  The restaurant wasn't crowded at all and the service level was as good as usual.  Unlike some restaurants which only serve expensive festival sets, the restaurant I went last night didn't raise the prices and all usual foods are available.</span></div>

1318. <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 13.5pt;">There are many variations, lap cheung is the most popular. Preserved duck is
1319. also sought after. When served immediate off fire and with some dark soy sauce,
1320. it is so fragrant and I would say everyone would love it.  Sometimes we
1321. cook it at home too.  But if you're dining out, hot pot rice is usually
1322. sell at per person price, and at least 2 or 4 persons as a minimum.</span></div>

1336. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Again, we cook this at home quite frequent during winter time.
1337. Some restaurants says their sticky rice is stir fried from the very beginning
1338. with raw rice. Some people thought this is the best way to cook and eat lap mei
1339. sticky rice, but cooking time could be up to 40 minutes.  So we believe
1340. the rice should be pre-cooked (steamed) and then stir firing is the last step.

1363. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love Shanghainese food, so I choose to have a Shanghainese lunch on my birthday. Xiao Nan Guo used to be one of my most favourite Shanghainese restaurants in Hong Kong.  For some reason I haven't been there for some time and today when I come, I notice a few changes here.</span></div>
1364. <div style="text-align: justify;">
1365. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
1366. <div style="text-align: justify;">
1367. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Although the restaurant's Chinese name remains 小南國, its trade name is changed to 1987 Shanghai Min. Well, this restaurant was opened in Hong Kong in 1987, so the name change is understandable.  The second change is the location. Luckily it only moved from 12/F of Time Square to 11/F, so I still manage to find it.  The third change is somewhat strange - their most famous signature dish 'grandmother's pork' disappeared from their menu!</span></div>
1368. <div style="text-align: justify;">
1369. <br /></div>
1370. <div style="text-align: justify;">
1371. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No wonder people always say 'the world is changing'. This I can understand, but a restaurant stop selling something highly reputable and in high demand is beyond my understanding.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> In fact, 'grandmother's pork' is one of my most favourite Shanghainese dishes, and I come to Xiao Nam Guo because of it. Luckily the waiter told us there was a replacement dish called 'braised pork with bamboo shoot'. Very juicy, tender and delicious.  Even if your grandmother is a meat lover but her teeth didn't perform well, she can still enjoy this dish without a problem. </span></div>

1621. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hotel buffet is general expensive.  But I found a hotel light lunch today which is quite a good deal.  Well, not only a good deal, I actually really like it.
1622.

1626. <div style="text-align: justify;">
1627. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It has a little bit of everything.  Although there aren't many varieties, it's good enough to fill my stomach, happily!</span></div>

1630. <div style="text-align: justify;">
1631. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To start with, there is a toast maker and I can make my favorite toast with boiled egg, greens, salmon and hams.  There are not too many kind of vegetables, but they are fresh and of good quality. Varies dressings are available if you want to make a salad.</span></div>

1674. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As Kew Green is an English hotel management group, so we find some UK style things around.  In fact, this hotel is re-branded from the Metropark Hotel owned by China Travel Services.

1678. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Since the buffet lunch is really light, somewhat like a breakfast, the cost is relatively low.  In fact it is of very good value of money - <b>HK$100 +10% per person</b>.  In terms of food, environment and services, it is really a very good deal.  If you want a cozy place to sit comfortably with friends and enjoy a light lunch, I highly recommend this place.  At the heart of Wanchai, it is easy to find the place.</span></div>

1697. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is situated in a newly renovated area in Wanchai, where the Government pulled down all old buildings and re-build the area.  Now it becomes quite a hot tourist spot.  Even I live in Wanchai, I'd really love to take a walk there.  And there are lots of sitting and resting areas on the street, making it very visitors friendly.  And that was why I discovered this new restaurant.</span><br />
1698. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
1699. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It first caught my attention due to its colorful design. We rarely find a restaurant so colorful.</span><br />

1706. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">During weekdays (Mon-Fri), they offer set lunch ranging from HK$88 to HK$118. The first time I went there was full, although the waiter said walk in will be fine.  There were four sets for us to choose.  Mine was BBQ skewers with coconut rice and seafood rice.  There were a balance of vegetables as well.  I would say the rice balls are Japanese and the BBQ Skewers are Brazilian.  And among the four sets, one was vegetarian. The menu was all in English, but the waiter was very kind to explain what each set was.  Apart from the food, the lunch set also included a Jasmine tea, adding some authentic Hong Kong flavour.</span></div>

1747. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There aren't many German restaurants in Hong Kong, but King Ludwig has several branches and the one in Wanchai is where I usually go.

1752. <div style="text-align: justify;">
1753. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When talking about German food, everyone would think of knuckles and sausages, me too. I generally come here for buffet because this is the only place I know with quality knuckles on the buffet table.  </span></div>

1757. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Recently I went there twice for a la carte and here is a summary of our foods.  The food portion is relatively large, not quite ideal for small groups like us having two persons only.</span></div>
1758. <div style="text-align: justify;">
1759. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The knuckle says for 1-2 person on the menu, but unless you have an "Adam Richman" kind of stomach, or it would be too much for one person.</span></div>

1767. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1768. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The waiters usually show the full knuckle to the guests before breaking into small pieces for easy eating. The meat is always juicy and delicious, the skin is generally crispy which I really like, although some parts were just too dry and hard. I do like the thick layers of collagen as well. </span></div>

1775. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Apart from knuckles, sausages is another 'must'.  As I said, I went there twice, the first time, we had a small sampler of sausages which is good for two people. My friend said if you order for a family size one, every sausage would be double in size. I like the sour cabbage too.  There are some other restaurants serving knuckles but won't come with sour cabbage.  I was told that it requires time and skill of the chef and hence only German chefs will do so.  Others simply serve with chips.</span></div>

1785. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The second time we tried the white boiled sausages. It says 'beef' and 'pork' on the menu, but we were not sure whether each sausage has two kinds of meat or one kind of meat per sausage.  So we had half of each sausage and simply found that they both tasted the same.  I like the smashed potato as well.  Not too soft, not too hard, the consistency is just good.  Together with their house mustard, lovely combination.</span></div>

1855. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hong Kong is getting cool and one of our favourite foods in this weather is mutton hot pot. In fact one mutton hot pot for two persons is quite enough, but we just want a little something more.  The restaurant sells seafood as well.  So we decided to create a surf and turf in Cantonese style.</span><br />

1863. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Mutton Hot Pot served over real fire.  We had to pre-order when booking the table, or they are easily sold out.  It is quite expensive.  The cost of a mutton hot pot is generally decided by 3 factors: taste, meat quality and service.  The cheaper ones usually won't serve with lettuce.  But ours was an expensive one, so lettuce was included in the price. Our hot pot was very delicious, but controlling the fire made us a little busy.  Even so we were happy because the waiters were very helpful whenever we raised our hands.</span></div>

The restaurant nearby our houses offers special price dinner every now and then. &amp;nbsp;But we have to go on weekdays. &amp;nbsp;Take our dinner for example, weekend price is HK$495 per person, but if we go on weekdays, it&#39;s only HK$295 per person. &amp;nbsp;Almost half the price, quite a good deal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

1904. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In fact I quite like this kind of western style Chinese dinner set.  There are six courses, plus dessert. If we had to order a la carte, it will come in regular size and we won't be able to eat that many different kind of foods.  With the dinner set, every dish come in one-person portion, with seafood being the major theme.</span><br />

1918. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In Hong Kong, the size and cost of abalone is generally categorized by the number of heads.  Meaning how many abalones there are in one catty.  4-Head means there are 4 in a catty.  Likewise, 5-Head will mean 5 in a catty.  So the larger the number, the smaller the abalone is.  Got it?  </span></div>

1999. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This was the giant fish that I sponsored.  It was over 3 kilo costed HK$2,800 (contributing almost half of the entire bill).  In Hong Kong, value of a fish is primarily decided by the type of the fish and whether it is manually feed or free range from the sea.  This one was fresh from the sea and rather a rare breed, hence expensive.  I need to pre-order it.  Restaurant manager showed me a video of the swimming fish on the dinner afternoon for my approval before he actually sent the fish to the kitchen.</span></div>

2027. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Very rich fragrance of almond.  The soup's main ingredient is pig's lung and almond, accompanied with plenty of delicious ingredients such as chicken, pork, fish maw...and so on.  After the soup was being served, the waiter brought to the table a dish of ingredients like the size of a small hill.  We all enjoyed choosing and picking whatever we loved. After all, the small hill only reduced about 20% in size.  Lucky that I was prepared.  I brought a big plastic box and took some left-over home.  Believe it or not, the 2nd-hand soup that I cooked with these same ingredients were equally yummy as what we had at the restaurant.  Finally I pulled the pork and made into porridge.  Thought next time I should bring two more boxes.</span></div>

2045. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It is quite a home-style dish.  It won't appear in any set menu.  It was only because we went on a ala carte that we can enjoy this yummy hot pot.  Although we can make it at home, but the taste here is outstandingly good.</span></div>

2055. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This recipe is invented by the chef master. There are many ways of cooking chicken, but stir fried is really new and unique.  All of us prefer this to steaming or deep frying.  Again, another signature that appears on almost every table.</span></div>

It so happened that we did it last night. &amp;nbsp;Two of our team members, including myself, have our birthday in June (16 &amp;amp; 25), our boss took us to a Teppanyaki dinner, which was also to celebrate her promotion. &amp;nbsp;So one dinner, trio purposes. &amp;nbsp;We were amazed by the wonderful view when we arrived. &amp;nbsp;It was already 7.30 pm, but we still managed to take this photo. &amp;nbsp;See our lovely longest day light on Jun 21, 2016 - Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

2106. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Teppanyaki is usually expensive. Going through the menu, almost all sets go beyond HK$500.  However we managed to find some cheaper sets, which were half or even 1/3 the price.  Reason being cheap is that we had to DIY.  It was fun anyway.  So we ordered 2 sets of cheap ones and 2 sets with service.  As the restaurant is a crab restaurant, they have already crabs in most of the sets.  We order 2 sets of cheap seafood and 2 sets of beef (thin/thick).  </span></div>

The one we went last night was situated within a service apartment in Wanchai. The place was relatively small with low ceiling, so I felt it was quite noisy, although the restaurant generally looks nice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
