Foursheets decided to organize lunch at Moon Bay Chinese Cuisine (灣悅 賞 • 中菜) and grabbed a big group so we could partake in a nice little piggy.

吃喝玩樂 - Diary of a Growing Boy: A Pic-y Friday
1 day ago · Very light and simple on the palate with a short finish. Duck from Barbary, "en impregnation" with sumac, corn gnocchi and smoked tonka panna-cotta - this was served with a gnocchi made with corn, sumac gel, tonka panna cotta, duck jus, and corn purée.

Dec 31, 2021 · Old school winter feast. Luk Yu Tea House (陸羽茶室) is, without a doubt, one of the most famous restaurants in all of Hong Kong. But somehow I've never been enamored with it. It's always gotten the reputation that if you're not a regular, you don't get shit. In fact, you get told to sit upstairs in Siberia.

Oct 8, 2024 · Last call at Nine One. Mr. Christmas is back in town for a short few days, and I relished the opportunity to catch up with him.

Jun 25, 2022 · Pork dumplings with pickled chili peppers (剝皮辣椒豬肉餃), from Tseng Dumpling (曾餃子) - these were, apparently, the best-selling item from this shop, and they were really, really delicious.

Nov 1, 2024 · October 30, 2024. Pasta! Pasta! Pasta! Save. Mr. Ho is back in town after an absence of nearly 2 years, and was in the mood for more Italian food.

Braised winter melon balls stuffed with black olives mustard (欖菜玉珠) - this is one of the signature dishes of the restaurant, created by Chef Leung Fai Hung (梁輝雄) years ago.

Jimmy Lim (林恬耀) is, of course, now a familiar name on the food scene in Asia - having climbed the ranks of Asia's 50 Best Restaurants and also bagging himself 2 macarons along the way.
