A video of our trip to Hong Kong

A short video of our stay in Hong Kong.

Noodle Heaven

We were led into a false sense of security by our time in Japan, thinking that all noodles were going to be that good.

To Dim Sum or to Yum Cha

You have to do it don't you. When in Rome as they say. Dim Sum or Yum Cha is as Hong Kong as the Peak or the Star Ferry are. You think of one, you think of the other.

Fishy Fishy Fishy Fish !!! or Island Hopping

I really can say that I have never eaten so much seafood in such a short space of time. It has been excellent and I can see it continuing. The seafood that is consumed here in Hong Kong is at the other end of the scale from what we had in Japan, that I cannot begin to describe. 

Some Like It Hot !!!

I was quite excited to goto Chili Fagara. I’d done some research and this was reputed to be one of the best Sichuan restaurants on the island.

It is located half way up the steep hill on Graham Street, so you naturally work up a thirst before you get there.

A Good Local Family Restaurant

Since we arrived here in Hong Kong, I have been searching high and low for some of the culinary delights that Hong Kong has to offer… I seem (well most of the time) to be able to spot or search out good eateries… No idea how I do it, but I am sure it is all my belly.

Our kitchen here is pretty damn small and I cannot be arsed to cook everyday, plus my Chinese cooking skills are not that good anyhows, and the million and one restaurants here in Hong Kong can sure as hell cook a more varied amount of food than me. Plus they are much better at it. 

The Great Egg Custard Tart Adventure

This obsession I seem to have found for egg custard tarts has to stop. I can feel my waistline increasing with every bite. But the taste of a good sweet shortcut pastry crumbling in my mouth and the custard melting is too much for me to resist. 

I have searched high and low for the perfect tart. Finally after tasting most of the tarts that Hong Kong has to offer, I have found it, but to get me there I have had to eat some real bad ones.
