On our recent trip to South Korea (only 1 post service hence far, to a greater extent than to come!), nosotros flew amongst Red People's Republic of China Pacific as well as intentionally picked a long transit so nosotros could sneak out for some nutrient (and shopping of course) inwards Hong Kong. The shopaholic inwards us convinced that nosotros should larn for shopping as well as thus, the nutrient hunting fourth dimension was compromised. We did non larn to endeavour a lot of nutrient this trip (we solely had 10 hours). Also, luck was non on our side, nosotros wanted to endeavour the Afternoon Tea yesteryear the One Michelin Starred restaurant- Seasons, Olivier E but was told that the bookings were total as well as they could no longer accommodate us. Nevertheless, nosotros had Lady yard New York as well as Yat Lok Roast Goose; the reviews are every bit follows:

Signature Mille Crepe (HKD $68)

Gateau Aux Marrons (HKD $62)

Hailed from New York, Lady yard is (arguably) said to offering some of the world's best Mille Crepe cakes. The construct has taken Hong Kong as well as Singapore yesteryear storm. We visited on a weekday afternoon as well as the house was thronged amongst visitors! Left amongst no choice, nosotros joined the queue. The queue was non long but it took us around fifteen minute-waiting fourth dimension due to the express tables.

There are many interesting as well as promising Mille Crepes (Mille Feuille too) but nosotros could non afford to endeavour many (due to express tum infinite as well as hefty cost tags). The signature Mille Crepe was mind-blowing. The texture was pleasingly draw of piece of occupation solid as well as the layering was well-organized. The cake maintained its shape throughout the repast (unlike those nosotros had inwards Penang... landslide volition normally happen). The Vanilla-milky flavor stood out, it was delicately sweetened amongst comfortably creamy. Best launder downward amongst a loving cup of Tea.

For a change, we've tried their Gateau Aux Marrons, a unopen relative to Mont Blanc... The Chestnut-infused Cream possessed a hint of Chestnut (not likewise bold). All elements were so harmonized, every bit though nosotros were eating actual Chestnut... well-inflected inwards the shape of cake.

Yat Lok Roast Goose is non slow to find, it takes a spell to walk from the MTR Station.

Just similar virtually restaurants or Cha Chan Teng inwards Hong Kong, the table-seating is tightly arranged. You may necessitate to percentage tabular array amongst others during peak hours. 

The advert mightiness advise their strength- Roast Goose; unfortunately, nosotros were travelling inwards a pocket-size grouping as well as had other eating-plans so nosotros can't afford to lodge for one-half bird.

The Roast Goose was mind-blowing, dissimilar something that nosotros tin uncovering here, the remained intact-skin was crispy as well as every bit sparse every bit a paper. The fats attached to the peel were far-gone, leaving that crispy but addictive sparse canvass of skin. On the meat, nosotros intentionally picked the Goose Breast but to our surprise, the texture was tender as well as virtually succulent. 

On the broth, it was clear but brimming amongst flavors. It was robust amongst the fragrance of the Goose meat (though some would fence that every bit gamey) as well as was extremely comforting for us (it was drizzling dorsum then). The noodles (Lai Fun inwards Cantonese/ 濑粉) on the other hand, was less-satisfying.

Nevertheless, if yous are a meat lover, produce include this house inwards your eating adventures (in Hong Kong).

Good Luck inwards your Food Hunting inwards Hong Kong! 

Love Nutrient Tim Ho Wan Dim Core Malaysia (添好運) @ Mid Valley City, Kuala Lumpur.

One of the much lauded Michelin Starred Dim Sum brands- Tim Ho Wan, has for certain stirred upwards the involvement of many Dim Sum aficionados since its opening inward 2014. Relentless queues tin dismiss however survive spotted at all branches across the nation. The highly boasted One-Starred Michelin branch has a standardized interior decor across all branches; the vibe is a reminiscent of those busy in addition to fast-moving Hong Kong Cha Chaan Teng- noisy, narrowly spaced seating in addition to elementary furniture. It was to a greater extent than of a fast-food articulation inward lieu of a upscale Dim Sum restaurant. Food was alright for novelty sense but given the hefty toll tags in addition to unpleasant dining experience, nosotros accept no reasons to telephone telephone for a instant visit. 

Steamed Beef Balls alongside Bean Curd Skin/ 陈皮牛肉球 (Rm 8.30)

Congee alongside Lean Pork in addition to Century Egg/ 金银蛋瘦肉粥 (Rm 10.50)

Rice alongside Chicken Sausage in addition to Mushroom/ 腊肠北菇鸡饭 (Rm 12.50)

Vermicelli Rolls alongside Sweet Sauce in addition to Sesame Paste/ 大排档肠粉 (Rm 8.30)

Probably the nearly glorious especial yesteryear Tim Ho Wan is the Baked Bun alongside BBQ Pork- sweetness in addition to savory Pork filling encased inward a crusty sweetness Baked Bun akin to Hong Kong styled Polo Bun; somewhat unique equally compared to those dense, fluffed Steamed Buns. Another rare offering- Steamed Beef Balls alongside Bean Curd Skin, the season was expert alongside a citrusy touching on from Dried mandarin Peel but the texture was likewise soft in addition to mushy to our liking. Quintessential Dim Sum items similar Siew Mai in addition to Har Kao were delicious but for that toll tag, nosotros could definitely honor something similar hither inward Penang. 

To fill upwards our tummies, nosotros had Steamed Chicken Rice in addition to Chee Cheong Fun; the old alternative was standard-average though nosotros agreed that the Chicken was well-cooked to the correct texture but the ratio of Rice to Chicken was somewhat odd... to a greater extent than Chickens or Mushrooms could survive added inward our opinion. We enjoyed the Chee Cheong Fun dressed alongside Sesame Paste, the introduction of premium Soy Sauce gives a layer of sweet-savory touching on to the dish piece the Sesame Paste provides the fragrance to the dish. Not likewise shabby... for a change.

Love Nutrient Tasty Congee & Noodle Wanton Soup (正斗粥麵專家) @ Gurney Paragon Mall, Penang.

One of the few famous Wanton Mee specialists from Hong Kong- Tasty has laid upwards human foot inwards Penang lately, opening the brand's get branch inwards Malaysia. The One Star Michelin eating seat is famous for its Wanton Mee, along alongside its broad diversity of offerings. The large bill of fare offers many sweetness together with savory dishes that ensures everyone volition honour something to tickle their gustation buds, regardless of age. Ingredients are procured straight from Hong Kong, However, most of the dishes are priced exorbitantly, in all probability due to the build name. Service was attentive together with orders were served inwards a jiffy; a house suitable for solid unit of measurement gathering over a unproblematic yet delectable Cantonese repast (if you lot don't heed the price). "Tasty" is adjacent to Penang On 5, degree v of Gurney Paragon Mall, Penang.

Tasty's signature dish- House Specialty Wanton Noodles inwards Soup (正斗鲜虾云吞面/ Rm 16.80); al-dente noodles, Yellow Chives, Wanton/ Dumplings alongside flowing tails. Tasty's had all boxes ticked. The broth was flavorful, reasonably-seasoned alongside a mellow sweetness that underlies each slurp. Also, they are rattling detailed together with serious virtually their Wanton Mee, fifty-fifty to the extent where Red Vinegar is available. However, nosotros idea they demand to amend on the nutrient presentation, considering the build has received Michelin award.

Tummy filler was Stir Fried Noodles alongside Pork together with Bean Sprouts (银芽肉丝炒面/ Rm 24.80), though nosotros could non handgrip on the name. We idea the dish was somewhat akin to Sang Har Mee but Pork together with Bean Sprouts were used instead. It comes inwards a substantial constituent which could travel expert plenty for 2 small-scale eaters. To travel frank, the gustation did non quite polish but nosotros must concur that the noodles were fried to a tawny crisp. There was a contrast of chewy-crunchy texture of the noodles. The meat gravy, however, was non sufficient to complement the noodles; also, the dish was rather greasy. Some nipper refinement needed. 

One of the must-have items inwards Tasty would travel Har Kaw/ Hong Kong Prawn Dumplings (晶莹鲜虾饺/ Rm 13.80/ iv pcs), a handbasket of pipe hot Prawn Dumplings was served to our table. The crystal dumpling peel was nicely crafted to the correct thickness piece the Prawn filling was toothsome. We demand non to dip the dumplings inwards Chili Sauce (something that Penangites are accustomed to), they were reasonably seasoned together with inwards fact, a hint of seafood sweetness tin travel tasted from the bouncy but non rubbery Prawns. It was a dramatic together with elegant offering (at a toll though).

We were non quite convinced past times Tasty's version of Hong Kong Egg Tarts (港式靓蛋挞/ Rm 9.80/ iv pcs) which came inwards bite-sized pieces. The freshness of the tarts was non to travel challenged every bit they were made-to-order. However, nosotros idea the pastry was underdone, leaving a 'powdery' together with gritty texture at the bottom of the tarts. The ratio of custard filling to pastry peel was somewhat inappropriate. Just my personal preference, I would prefer the park Egg Tarts, no, non the bite-sized pieces. 

The Nibbles were priced exorbitantly at Rm v (Peanut/ Silver Fish) *Pretty salty*

A serving of Chinese Tea is priced at Rm 3/ person
