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!

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.

The congee is full of the crab favour. You can the sweetness from the crab.

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

Red Chilli Sichuan, Glebe

For a cold and wet weather, it is nice to have something to warm you up! We are heading to Glebe to have Sichuan hotpot. :) Sichuan hotpot is not just spicy but also numb!! We thought we better order a divided hotpot, as experience from the past, we can't handle the spiciness! We ordered a mix of seafood and meat selection. By looking at redness of the hotpot, you can imagine the spiciness. Waiting for the soup to boil and we start to dig it! The meat was thinly sliced to make it cooks more easily. The soup base is not just spicy and numb but also made the meat very tasty. After a few pieces, you will start feeling heat! We are looking for the source of numbness and it came from the Sichuan pepper. We have to check every piece before putting it into our mouth. :) Almost finished and we can see a layer of chili oil on the top! Have we eaten so much fat? Oh well, as long as my tummy is happy, I guess it is fine! :p

From Peking Duck to Seafood Feast...

Thanks to the advertisment and reading one of my favourite food blog, Eve Loves, I would love to try the peking duck at Beverley Hills one day!! In order to try a few variety of food, I must organise a large group to go. This day has finally come. I was so looking forward to the peking duck dinner! :)

When I was driving to Beverley Hills, my friend called, she forgot to change the booking time with the restaurant and the table has been cancelled!!! (Initially we were planning to go there an hour earlier) Oh no more peking duck for the night!!! Where shall we go?? Apart from the peking duck, we have also talked a lot about when is our lobster feast, so we went to our usual seafood restaurant at Beverley Hills.

I was quite lucky to find a car space located behind the restaurant... no need to walk too far to my car... yeah! Reading the menu and "Today Special", we found that the price for lobster at that night was way too expensive, comparing to previous time. After checking with the waitress the Seafood Combo, Mud Crab & Coral Trout. The price is for just under 2kg mud crab and just under 1kg coral trout which is good size to steam. We thought it is reasonable and go for this Seafood Combo, plus noodles (saang mein) with the mud crab. We can picked the way they cook the mud and we chose ginger and shallot. We have also ordered the Black Goat Hotpot (one of the favourite dish for winter).
The waiter showed us the fish and the mud crab before taking them to the kitchen. The fish was so fresh that it's almost going to jump out of the plastic bag!!! I was so looking forward to taste the mud crab and coral trout. I havent had a seafood meal for awhile.

First they served us the mud crab with noodles. We cant wait to grab hold of the claws of the mud crab but my friend reminded me to take photos! :p You can taste the freshness of the crabs and the noodle infused with all the favour of the crabs. Argh... so happy! :)

Ginger & Shallot Mud Crab

When we were almost finishing the crab, the fish arrived. It is better to eat the steam fish when it is still hot. They cooked the fish just right, it's not over or under cook! The taste of the fish is just so sweet. We have quickly killed off the fish... even the fish head, fin and tail!!!

Steam Coral Trout

By the time the Black Goat hotpot arrives, we were almost full. It also comes with a very large dish of vegies, which you can cook in the hotpot, and dipping sauce, tofu cheese (腐乳). The goat meat and tofu cheese goes well with each other (It can be very salty if uses a lot).

We were struggling to finish all the food. Since we dont want to waste anything, we stuffed ourselves in with more and more! As most Chinese restaurants come with complimentary dessert & fruits, can I stuff more food in?? I love this restaurant's dessert, bitter melon & sago jelly, I have to eat it!! This dessert is invented by them as I didnt have this anywhere else.

Although didnt have the peking duck as planned, but still happy with a delicious seafood meal!! Life should be full of suprises! :D

Claypot Rice 煲仔飯

After a 4 hours plus make up trial for my friend's wedding, so we decided not going to cook dinner and dine out somewhere.

My friend thought of the ad from the Chinese pay TV. Based on its ad, it has 3 branches in Melbourne and now expanding to Sydney, one in Campsie and the one we tried is at Hurstville. It is nice to have something warmth! As we were getting very hungry, without thinking too much we drove there straight away!

Lucky enough we were able to find a parking near the restaurant. Since we were there early around 6pm, we were seated straight away. The menu has 4 catagories, Soup, Claypot Rice, Noodles and Desserts. Bascially we have choosen one from each catagories. Each of us has ordered our own soup. This is the soup I have choosen.
Dried scallop & watercrest stewed with duck's kidney soup
We ordered the main to share amongst ourselves to sample a few different things. :) Claypot rice is rice cooks in the claypot first then added the other ingredient to cook. We have choosen three different type of claypot rice. These claypot rice arrived at our table and it's still piping hot. You can see the steam out of them! It's just so nice to have these in a cold winter night.
Chinese sausage with rice
Salty fish and pork patty with rice
Preserved chinese raddish and fish fillet with rice
We have also ordered a seaweed & prawn ball with vermicelli noodle soup. The prawn balls are handmade and it has the prawn taste. I cant put any word to describe them!

We then finished off with 2 desserts, durian dessert and black seasame dessert. What a way to finish a day!

By the time we finished, the restaurant was very packed and some tables have already turned over for another group of diners. Not a bad choice afterall! :D
