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?

Sai Kung "Seafood Street"

After we bought our seafood, we brought them to Mrs S's favourite restaurant. We were lucky enough to grab a seat for the night, as they were fully booked!

Our seafood feast for the night includes...

Grilled Abalone

Steamed Crab (奄仔蟹) with Egg White

Steamed Fish (Forgot what type!)

Whelk With Broccoli

Pork Knuckle with Black Pepper Sauce

Some of these seafood which I hardly eat in Sydney.

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.
