Hung's Delicacies (阿鴻小吃), North Point, Hong Kong

This restaurant is situated in a residential area where you will never thought of you will find a gem here! We are glad to arrive here for the first round of the dinner session and we don't have to queue up long for our table.
Queue After We Finished :D
When you look at the menu, there is basically anything you can think of from a duck or goose are on it. There is no wastage! Why is this restaurant so popular? It has to do with the sauce (滷水) they used.

First of all we have to order the favourite, marinated goose slices. It is so fatty and tasty!

Lin Heung Tea House (蓮香樓), Central, Hong Kong

Lin Heung Tea House (蓮香樓)
Continuing with my journey to try out long established restaurant, Lin Heung Tea House is another choice. As my aunt knew that they are always packed, we reserved a table for the early dinner. When we are there, most tables have already scattered with people. I am looking forward to their food!
Tea House (Old Style)


Eight Treasure Duck (八寶鴨)

We have pre-ordered the Eight Treasure Duck. This is basically stuffed eight different ingredients into a boneless duck. The eight ingredients are lotus seeds, glutinous rice, mushroom, salty egg york... and I have lost count. The duck meat is so tender and just melt in your mouth. The glutinous rice is the best part of the dish. It absorbed all the taste from the duck.
Lotus Root Cake
I really like lotus root cake and I have made a special request for this dish. :)

This is Also a Unique Dish which I Found It In Hong Kong
Crispy Skin Chicken
Finished off with Mung Bean Dessert
Went to this restaurant is like travel back in time!

Anthony Kitchen, Sai Kung, Hong Kong

Where to go for seafood when you are in Hong Kong? Sai Kung is the place! It is quite an interesting experience for me. You can either buy your seafood directly from the fishermen or from the shop itself. What I mean to buy direct from the fishermen?

Combat with Mud Crab

If I didn't go to the Sydney Fish Market, I wont see the sign saying "$21.99/kg for Live Mud Crab". I walked into at least two shops which said the same and I have to give in. I bought a live mud crab home. Now the issue is how to kill this thing??? 

Thanks to Facebook. I dropped this question to my Facebook status and my friends have answered. Collating all the ideas and trying to put them in practice. I first tried to poke into the head as suggested. May be my chopstick isn't long enough, the crab was still very active and trying to escape!
Dead...

Without too much of the gruesome details, I have killed it with the good old method. However, I still have been bitten by its reflex. Next time I know even if its claw detached from its body, it still can bite and it's painful... ouch!!!
Steamed Mud Crab... Ready to Serve!

Steamed for around 15 minutes, fresh and very sweet mud crab is ready to eat. I am now off to eat... chat later... nom nom nom.

Chan's at Lindfield, Lindfield

The weather is getting colder and what's best is to have a congee to warm yourself up? :) We went to Chan's at Lindfield for their crab congee.
Crab Congee
The congee is full of the crab favour. You can the sweetness from the crab.
Crab with the greens
The second part of it is to get our hands dirty and getting the meat out of the shell. :)
Salt and Pepper Flounder
We also ordered salt and pepper flounder to go with our congee. The flounder is so fresh and we even ate all the fin and bones! :D

A quick meal: Italian Mussels

After a night of Sichuan Hotpot, there are so much left over. What can I do with them, if I don't want another round of hotpot? Going through the fridge and found myself with some mussels. Let make Italian mussels! :)

Tasmanian Mussels
In the cupboard found this sauce, Arrabbiata, with a dash of chili. Good enough to be the base!

Barilla: Arrabbiata
Heat the pot with garlic and shallot. (I found later that brown onion should be more tastier).

Chopped Garlic

Chopped Shallot
Added shallot and parsley to garnish. 


Ready to Serve
I have toasted a few slice of bread to mop up all the jus! :D
I would like to mop up the dish with more toast please!

Portuguese Chicken Sandwich, Sydney

This little sandwich bar always has a queue during lunch time peak hour. You can also missed out on their Portuguese chicken if you are there too late!

I am glad that even at 1:30pm I still able to get it. Tasty mayo with a dash of chili spice and the chicken is always juicy. These are the reasons why I will go back again and again. 

Portuguese Chicken Sandwich in Wholemeal Bread
As you can see its massive size which costs $8.50 at Wynard area. That's why everyone will queue here for their sandwich. They can also make it into wrap at $7.50 which is a smaller version or even in specialty breads, such as rye bread with extra 30 cents. (Prices are current as at 4 April 2012)

Toku Toku, Glebe

Wohoo... this is my 100th post! Thanks for your support. I will write my favourite Japanese Food. :)

I always want to try this Toku Toku at Glebe and never find an opportunity to do so. Since we have finished a movie at the nearby Broadway Shopping Centre, I took my chance to pay a visit here. We were seated at the back outdoor courtyard in this lovely weather.
Salmon Carpaccio
We start with salmon carpaccio.
Popcorn Prawns
Popcorn Prawns
I cannot resist the temptation to order the popcorn prawns. The size of these prawns are not really popcorn size. It's huge!
Grilled Cod with Miso
One of my favourite Japanese dish is grilled cod with miso. Perfectly grilled with a slight miso favour. Loving it!
Wagyu Brisket
The wait stuff recommended the wagyu brisket and it goes perfectly with a bowl of rice.


I guess we have ordered too much again. Otherwise, I would love to try their tempura Mars bar.
