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.

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.

強記美食 (Keung Kee local food), Wanchai, HK

Brought quite many friends to this street stall on Marsh Road (Wanchai).  It's also a favourite shop of my good old friend.  She would have been so happy to see this shop having an air-conditioning bigger one.

Talked to the owner and he said the old place's rent was rocket high at around HK$70k for just about 100 square feet place.  So he decided to choose this new shop at a justified rent.  The shop is just around the corner on Lockhart Road.

 

Chill Cafe, Kowloon Bay, HK

Chose this place for lunch because it's not crowded.  Got a lunch set with a salad and main.  The salad was a bit not fresh.  I took a slow cook chicken breast.  I personally didn't like the way using a slow cook heater to cook food as it's not hygiene enough and wouldn't kill some bacteria thouroughly.  Ended up I got a tummy sick from this meal.

 

Deluxe studio, Apartment Kapok, HK

Gradually this serviced apartments have bought out all the units of one of the buildings of Causeway Centre. Visited this newly renovated unit on a high floor.  There came a strong plastic odour when we walked in the unit.  The layout was quite nice with a walk-in closet and a fully equipped kitchen with washer.  The monthly rent is about HK$20k.  

 

Deluxe studio, Kornhill Apartment, HK

This room is smaller than the others, but a bit newer.  We could see some furniture from ikea.
