Hong Kong Getaway 2013

Short getaway trip to nearby country is always a good choice to loosen up yourself a bit from the heavy workload. Yup, I was at Hong Kong for 3 days 2 nights, perfect timing for the sales season.

Not gonna touch on what was the damage done, instead will be recommending some of the good food places introduced by my local HK friend :)


1. 镛记酒家 - Chinese restaurant @ Wellington Street, Central HK


Signature starter: 皮蛋酸姜 marinated ginger with century egg
乳鸽 roast pigeon
乳猪,烧鹅,叉烧拼盘 roasted suckling pig, roast goose, & charsiu platter




Price: 


2. Petite Amanda - Authentic french pastries @ IFC Mall, opened by famous model Amanda S.


Left: Cant rmb the name, but the texture is extremely soft, with cheesy taste of mousse and strawberry jam fillings in the middle
Right: Plaisir sucré (sweet pleasure), a lovely combination of milk choc and hazelnut, it's abit too sweet for those that doesn't have a sweettooth

Charlotte aux Poires (main ingredients are lady finger biscuit, pears, & pear mousse)


Price: 


3. 大利清湯腩 - Over 20 years history @ 天后地鐵站電器道出口, specialized in beef brisket

Beef brisket is so tender and nice. I have never tasted such sweet juicy radish before, probably it soaked up all the beef broth

 
It says: Please remember to drink the soup, if not it's your lost.


Price: 

Tips: Many reviews also commented that 華姐清湯腩 (located next to 大利清湯腩) actually tastes better. Have to try it next time!
