Feast, Hotel East, HK

The buffet of this restaurant has been quite consistent over the years.  The appetizer/salad and dessert bars were really tempting for its quality food and choices.  The mains pan fried fish filet and turkey rolls were quite nice too. I'm quite surprised with their cookie and ice cream.  Haven't tried many dishes and got so full in the recent years.

Lawry's The Prime Rib, Central, HK

After it moved to this place on 9 Queen's Rd Central from Hutchison House, I hadn't visited it for years.  The renovation looks quite grand as compared to the old one.  However, the service wasn't the same.  I was wondering if Maxim's hired their fast food chain staff for this one.  On the weekend, it served semi-buffet with salad and dessert on the buffet bar and one main to choose from the list.  Their prime rib was about HK$490 and the other dishes was about HK$390 to 450.  I tried their pan fried garoupa.  It further told that it's a maxim's fast food grade dish but in a nice presentation.  The salad bar wasn't that tempting either.  The croissant and the mini cakes were a bit better and nice coffee too.  So it made up a bit.

Maek Jeok Korean restaurant, Wanchai, Hk

Tried their lunch set for a ginseng chicken soup and beef soup.  A bit surprised with the quality chicken they chose.  The appetitzers were very authentic and refilled upon request.  The steamed rice with dried seaweed was aromatic and nice to go with the soup.  Will come back and try their other dishes!

A late lunch at 京林屋 (Kyohayashiya), Tai Koo Shing, HK

This place is a favourite for those green tea lovers.  This time I tried their lunch set (HK$95) with a soup, pickle, rice (cooked in tea) and a platter of scallop, fish, pancake..etc.  All good but I could try it once in a while since I couldn't take too much tea. 

 

If it paints a thousand words....

淅江軒 (Zhe Jiang Heen), Wanchai, HK

Got told about this restaurant for its authentic Shanghai cuisine.  So I ordered some typical Shanghai food.  The most interesting part was that they served the veggie rice right after my order (almost in a few seconds). It made me feel I was having a lunch in a canteen.  When I touched the bowl, it was quite cool and the rice was luke warm (about 30 degree celsius).  It was quite awful to eat some rice like left over.  The appertizers didn't surprise me either.  The tofu soup was a bit better though.  The "lion head" (meat balls casserole) was disappointing too as it wasn't aromatic with the pork flavour but just in heavy gravy.  Stewed pork with preserved veggie was at average.  The dim sum was luke warm.

The legacy, Quarry Bay, HK

This Zung Fu factory building used to be iconic landmark of Quarry Bay and a popular stop for mini-bus.  When Tai Koo Place is mordernizing this vicinity, this big building will soon be gone.  Noticed almost all the tenants have left.

 

Sugar, East Hotel, HK

This place has changed pretty much from the first time I came here.  It wasn't that much of decoration, but it is still nice coming here for a drink to have a breath-taking view to the Eastern harbour.  This place is named after the origin of Swire group in sugar business.
