Aberdeen Street Social

New western restaurants have been popping up all over Hong Kong, but I am scared of them…  Why?  Cause the decor is nice, the prices are high, the foods are pretentiously great but in reality it’s an utter let-down *cough* 22 Ships…..

Not so this one though!

Aberdeen Street Social at PMQ in Central, one of the newish restaurants in town, is great!  FOOD, EXCELLENT!

Now, they start with some complimentary bites of churros (a little hint of truffle infusion) and a nice bite-sized muffin….

Next of ciourse is a starter..  Of which I chose the tuna tartare..  Again, excellent!  Nicely decorated, fresh, mix of dried tomato with the tuna mince makes for a great appetizer!

Main…  You can tell that my blue cod on top of a bed of risotto is just right!  Mmm..  loved the crispy-skin.

And here is my friend’s pork belly.  Not bad too, apparently!

I didn’t have a chance to sample the dessert this time around, but I’ll be back!  If you’re in the Central area, do try this excellent find!

香港餐廳

奶茶！當然是香港的好代表！

Ｂ餐－黑椒雞扒飯，相信這亦是不少香港打工仔常叫的一餐。

蛋牛治！不少人的 favorite!

不過，這間“輝煌快餐店”，有什麽特別？

看清楚點，他門口貼了“黃帶”！真心欣賞，佩服這老闆！這就是真正的香港精神，不怕得罪某些客，堅持公平精神！佩服，值得支持啊！

Best Fishball Noodles

With the Singapore elections coming up this weekend, there’s a lot of “Singapore” in the news lately…  And so, on a somewhat related thread…  when people think of Fishball noodles, they often think of Singapore.  Rarely Hong Kong, which seems to be THE place for Yum Cha, Pineapple Bun, Cheong Fun, Seafood, etc.  But rarely, for fishball noodles.

Well, is that because Singapore’s Fishball noodles are better?  In my view, noooooooo……..

Before we start to eat, try Googling “Singapore Best Fish Ball Noodle” vs. “Hong Kong Best Fish Ball Noodle”.  You’ll see that there is no consistent winner / top list in Singapore.  Well, having tried many stalls in Singapore while I lived there, I think that’s because there is no clear winner.  Good, but not THAT good….

Now, you may say that’s a bit biased.  Well, maybe.  So let’s go to the taste.  Oh, by the way, one of the best fish ball noodles in Hong Kong, can be found here:  On Lee 安利 !

First up, the menu…

And then, ta-da, the fish balls!

You know why this is so good?  You can actually tell by the photo…  If you had been googling like I suggested above, and visited a site such as this (http://ieatandeat.com/top-3-best-fishball-noodles-in-singapore/), you can see that all Singapore fishballs are white.  Pearly white.

But fish meat is not white.  It’s silver-greyish.  So yes, this “best fish ball”, is made from 100% fish.  So fish, you can taste the fishy taste in every fish ball.  And that’s what makes it great!

---

Now, if one bowl of fish ball noodles isn’t satisfying, how about some dessert!  This butter condensed milk toast should do just the trick…

Having seen all the above…  Go try it yourself!  It’s really worth the half hour waits!  And then, you can brag to others that you’ve just had the best fish ball noodles..  ever!

筲箕灣的認真茶餐廳

今次，好想同大家介紹這間餐廳。。。

事關 – 它的芝士火腿 omelette 是我食過最好最好的！

你看看！幾多火腿！再加埋塊厚厚的 cheddar cheese, 他就是我每個星期必食一次的早餐，亦是令我越來越肥的原因！

唔信？去 “東南” 試下啦！
