[HK] Private Club Dining – Jiang Su Club

This was probably the most memorable dinner I had in Hong Kong thus far! Jiangsu Club (江蘇薈), located at Alliance Building in Sheung Wan, is a private dining club operated by the Federation of Hong Kong Jiangsu community organization, which is for its members only. Thanks to my brother's mentor, I had the opportunity to get a taste of the most authentic Jiang su cuisine without visiting the province in China!

[HK] Delicate French-Japanese cuisine – Ta Vie旅

Japanese cuisine gives people an impression of beautiful presentation and high quality ingredients. The other characteristics of Japanese traditional cuisine, especially in Kaiseki, are that the meals consist of several small plates, and every dish is well-plated, and color coordinated, which give a harmonious vibe to the eyes and the palates! Modern French cuisine (or nouvelle cuisine) has adopted this approach; high quality ingredients and elegantly represented in small portions. Ta vie in Hong Kong is one of the examples.

[HK] Delicate Dim Sum – Yan Toh Heen (欣圖軒)

When one's in Hong Kong, I don't think there's any reason for not having dim sum at least once. Located in the Intercontinental Hotel of Hong Kong, Yan Toh Heen is recognized as one of the world's finest Chinese restaurants that specializes in Cantonese cuisine, and also the recipient of 2-michelin stars!

[HK] Highest Chinese Restaurant in the World – Tin Lung Heen [Two Michelin-Starred]

Tin Lung Heen (天龍軒) is situated in the 102F of Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Hong Kong. It has received its first star soon after the opening in 2011, and been maintaining its two-starred honor since 2012. This achievement has to be attributed to the chef Paul Lau Ping Lui, whom is regarded as one of the top Cantonese chefs in Hong Kong. Since dim sum is a must in Hong Kong, and it's such a casual thing to do with friends and family, sometimes it is okay to fancy it up.

[HK] Cafés Hopping in the Pearl of the Orient

I visit Hong Kong at least once a year because of my family. I have a love-hate relationship for Hong Kong. It's such a cosmopolitan and lively city, which I often described it as the "New York of Asia". However, the population is so dense, and with many tourists, I feel suffocate and intense whenever I stay more than 3 days. Nonetheless, I spent a week in Hong Kong with my brother this summer, and got to explore few cafés. Let's take a look...

[HK] Classic High Tea in Classy Mandarin Oriental

In my previous Le Parloir post, I have expressed how much I love high tea. It has become a tradition whenever I visit Hong Kong. In case you don't know, Hong Kong was colonized by the Britain, hence a huge part of their culture is strongly influenced by the British. Locating in the Clipper Lounge of Mandarin Oriental, the afternoon tea set is the best one I've ever had so far in Hong Kong (price-wise is reasonable too!).

[HK] Reaching for the stars – Caprice (two Michelin-starred)

Hong Kong is definitely one of the cities with most diversity for its food scenes. From local street food vendors to Michelin-starred restaurants, and classic Hong Kong-styled eatery to prestigious western fine dining. Hong Kong is one of the places in Asia that allows you to "eat around the world" without traveling too far.

[HK] Brunch Club & Supper

Personally, I'm a brunch lover. Nothing is better than starting off the weekend with a brunch! There are few decent brunch spots in Hong Kong, but it's a bit pricy. However, Brunch Club & Supper offers variety of brunch dishes with reasonable price!

[HK] Nagi Butao Ramen (凪豚王)

Butao ramen is the #1 on my ramen list (better than Ippudo, which was my #1)! It is also a must-visit for me whenever I'm in Hong Kong since there's no decent ramen spot in Kaohsiung. There are only four types of ramen (all based on pork bone marrow broth), which are classic (豚王), spicy miso(赤王), squid ink(黑王), and pesto (翠王).

[HK] One Dim Sum (ㄧ點心)

One Dim Sum is definitely my top choice for dimsum outing in Hong Kong! It is awarded with Michelin one star in 2011, and managed to keep it! Despite the Michelin star, the price is considerably cheap in Hong Kong for such quality of food. The portion each dimsum is pretty big as it fills up most of the bamboo steamer. However, be prepare to wait for at least 20 to 30 minutes during dining hours! The queue is always long, and the restaurant doesn't take reservation. It's first come first serve.
