LAI BUN FU | HONG KONG

The hidden 'kitchen' in the 18 On Lan Street, is quite a quiet space for the expats and business people around Central. A decent fine dining environment perfectly merged into the old-fashion of westernised Asian city. The dishes are dedicated by the mixed food materials from different places with a luxury background. 

Master Chef is a local-local, but with an experienced chef background worldwide; while I found the familiar cuisine style there as I was in Shanghai - a typical colony city style, like a hot pot, you can put everything inside and as time going, the taste comes out perfectly matched; and finally it grows to its own.

LOONG YUEN | HONG KONG

I haven't tried a lot of Chinese/Cantonese restaurants since I came to Hong Kong, while in the limited ticked list, Loong Yuen, is one of the recommended list. The impression of this restaurant to me, is everything about quality and humble. The restaurant is located in the basement floor of Holiday Inn in Tsim Sha Tsui, which is a hot spot but not adding too much benefits to the restaurant for its hidden location. The visitors there are half tourists half locals, who are mostly re-visitors for its stable quality. The Chinese dishes served there were in a reasonable price range, and the design of the dishes were in generally, traditional, but sometimes they are twisted with a little new concept by adopting the western cooking concept.

EAT IN HK | HONG KONG

Before I continue my normal restaurant review, I want to write some simple words about my real food journey in my every day-time. Not sure I am lucky or not to have my new office location at one of the most local district of Hong Kong, where when you have a random walk there, you are every-second rounded by the very Hong Kong locals, with slippers and pajama (not much this extreme situation), VERY not patient and always loud. Wait!!! Looks quite negative description? half yes, half nope, actually it is Hong Kong, the real one, and I do appreciate those neighbors who are maybe not that rich or educated, but they are real persons, and they deliver good stuff by their heart! 

That's why those areas, in general, have the highest density of good local restaurants.

EGG EGG TARTS TARTS | MACAU

Macau Macau!!! Tarts Tarts!!! Every time talking about Macau, I just cannot stop to miss those lovely palm-size tarts; freshly made, hot-hot, crispy-layered, sweet or savory, and fatty-fatty :D (Com-on, all delicious food in this world would not be a 'healthy & non-fat' item!!!)

I was so happy about my last weekend holiday in Macau, which at least freed me a full afternoon and night plus a short morning to explore the real local Macau foods! Can you imagine how pissed-off I feel that I have been to Macau 3 times but tried ONLY Margaret's Portuguese Tart!!! Finally I have my second exploration of egg tarts this time and gonna share with you as usual.

NAM LOONG CAFE | HONG KONG

Memory is one of the most precious asset for human beings. For Hongkongers who's used to a wide diversity of dining culture since early times, the Hong Kong Tea Restaurant, is undoubtedly on the memorable list. The green metal railings, the white ceramics, the efficient-working staffs... each part forms up the idea of 'Tea Restaurant' where is the dream-creator of most Hongkongers. 

Years going, the old-style restaurant is fading away for many reasons, but luckily, fading-away memory creates more opportunities for those who care a lot and who can twist it with more value. Nam Loong, managed by Golden Stone Catering Group, is another story of modern-traditional Tea Restaurant.

Hing Kee Restaurant 興記菜館

Yummy Casserole (rice) is one of the signature food in Hong Kong, especially for winter season. Those raw rice just is getting well cooked by the heated casserole. The normal-looking cook stuff has a magical power to make those rice good-smelling and chewy, and I'm sure some of you just like me, prefer those bottom layer of rice stick on the casserole, a little over-cooked but extremely tasty even without any sauce. 

Yau Ma Tei, the must-going place for travelers and also for locals in chili seasons. The Hong Kong style street foods and local restaurants there offers super cheap seafood, fried foods, casserole and Chinese desserts. Hing Kee, has quite huge business, almost cover the whole bottom area of the whole street. Eaters prefer sitting outdoor and enjoying really local foods and services. Everything is noisy and loud, typically street-style.

此九記非彼九記！【澳門九記清湯腩王】

初為美食博主，又是個剛從窮學生踏入到窮打工仔行列的“小人”一名，博客里花花綠綠、大吃大喝的相片之後當然是許許多多減肥餐以及垃圾餐啦！今日就來寫一寫好久好久之前由幾位青春美麗（O(∩_∩)O）女友帶去的九記咖喱牛腩；不要誤會，此九記並非歌賦街的那間名揚海外的九記牛腩，而是在油麻地這個臥虎藏龍之地的九記【咖喱】牛腩。

香港人愛吃牛肉，特別是牛腩，我是深信不疑的，而這家九記一入到內就被招牌菜以及明星合照無縫拼接的四面墻“亮瞎了眼”，晚餐時間段作物缺席，幫襯的大多是附近街坊，一入到內便是好似自己店一般熟門熟路地下單，再跟夥計八卦含蓄幾句也是家常！個人很喜歡這種略帶著“市井”的香港街坊場景。

是小驚喜還是我鄙陋了？【裕發茶餐廳】

掰掰手指，自己好似有很長一段時間未曾接觸茶餐廳或是冰廳了，這晚實在是胃裡的小饞蟲鬧得慌，便在屋企附近隨意覓了間街坊味道甚濃的茶餐廳來醫肚。餐廳有個非常港味的名字，裕發，很吉利很興隆；為于土瓜灣，典型的舊區茶餐廳，入店時也算是港人的晚飯時間，人流不算多，碩大的店鋪亮晃晃的也算是光猛乾淨。茶餐廳除了傳統種類外，也有迎合冬日的小火鍋以及小菜。

人生中的新名詞【周記油渣麵】

深水埗，有什麽？社會貧困群體？鴨寮街電器？電子城？

還有，街坊美食！

對於一個飲食愛好者，特別是那些對飲食不存在任何階級偏見的吃貨，深水埗真算是個不可少的寶地；也有一段時間沒有造訪這塊寶地，這日趁著午後的大好陽光來到，發現人流還是如此湧動，街邊倚著欄杆捧著魚蛋邊吃邊曬太陽的“閒人”大有人在，而四通八達的小路上也添了不少新面孔。

【舊博精選】石板階梯間的香港滋味【勝香園】

昨日借著去港島買東西的機會沿著頗有坡度的小路一直從中環休閒踱到位於石板階梯底端的《勝香園》

還記得那時排著對面《九記牛腩》的長隊的時候就已經注意到這家由綠色蓬蓬和幾張簡易桌椅撐出來的排擋區域 雖然簡單但食客確實人來人往

後來才知 此乃久負盛名的《勝香園》！

翻看了些美食博主們對於這小空間的介紹 那些星級食客們對於這家民間小鋪的喜愛和推崇尤為印象深刻 當然也就自然而然記下來明星菜品

最感興趣的當屬擺成米奇形態的檸檬脆脆啦~

一開始總以為那只是普通奶油豬切開然後可以放置成米奇形態而已

誰料昨日一試才知名字的緣由。

食上癮—— 金華冰廳

旺角東的弼街臨近花園街的市集，有更貼著人來人往的金魚街，天時地利人和早就那裡一天24小時之內也只有短短的深夜幾個鐘才消停下來，金華冰廳內內外外的人流就好似這一帶的縮小版一般，朝早開始就吵吵嚷嚷，進進出出客流不斷，有附近的熟客常來幫襯也有大老遠特地跑來一嘗鮮的，更有天南地北跑來的各路遊客，小小的狹長型店面怎能不爆棚？就連門口細細個的新鮮出爐麵包外賣臺也是經常被大堆人層層包圍住，走在旺角東見著街上捧著印有金華二字，油光略略泛出的白底橘字紙袋，行色匆匆也要啃麵包的路人，就知生意有幾好！

如此爆棚其實只爲了這一味“新鮮出爐”菠蘿油，金華馳名小食其實也不乏這一味，墨西哥包、雞批、酥皮蛋撻以及最近店家熱推的豬扒菠蘿包都算是“馳名”貨，可大家就是著了魔似的獨獨認准了簡單菠蘿包夾鮮牛油！著了魔的我也要算一份子，也確實著了這菠蘿油的魔好久好久，細細算來，第一次接觸也是自己尚讀緊大學之時，那是突然有了一個人來香港旅遊的念頭，二話不說上網上書店搵資料做筆記，捎上行李地圖和寫的密密麻麻的筆記本搭上最早一班飛機就過來了，爲了找這家“金華”可是從人來人往的旺角一路尋尋覓覓走到旺角東的弼街，那時人生地不熟的舉著地圖到處行，也是烈日當頭的天氣，實在是好不容易，坐定定點上一份菠蘿油外加一杯馳名熱奶茶，嘆著冷氣也嘆著美食，簡直是天上人間；
