Eating in Hong Kong

The various kinds of food served in restaurants; from high class 5 star hotels to fast food café can all be so delicious and so imaginative. That is one of the things about HK that makes this such a “happening” city. I had such a blast enjoying a delicious “5 star” rating private French cuisine meal where the food and presentation of the dishes are superb. The goose liver was just fried to perfection, the stuffed chicken was so artistically cooked with the prawn, and the presentation of the desserts and humongous bright red strawberry dipped in chocolate sauce made the meal absolutely filling! Over glasses of red and white wine and super conversations with friends, it was an amazing meal.

Sauntering over to Shangri-la, I could enjoy a 5 star sumptuous buffet filled with sashimi, smoked salmon, and a huge array of dessert. The services, environment, and food are so delicious you would not be able to leave without a huge belly weighing you down. For an expensive glass of Margarita and a delicious hard-to-resist Tiramisu at the InterContinental Hotel, the entire Victoria Harbor is placed right in front of you. With live jazz and piano playing, there is nowhere better to spend an evening of conversation.

For $15, I could enjoy a tasty beef rice bowl from Yoshinoya, adding a couple extra dollars, I bought myself a chilling matcha red bean drink. Then for less than $50, I got myself a sizzling hot plate meal that include ½ a Brazilian chicken, baked potatoes, mushroom soup, and a banana split for dessert.

Eating in HK always wowed me and filled me with wonder. With an ever-changing menu and different restaurants with different themes and fusion of foods cooked, one could always expect to encounter a delicious eating experience around the corner!
