Winter Steam Pot Restaurant @ Hong Kong (TST)

Fondue, shabu shabu...whatever you call it, it's HOT POT! It's perfect on a nice cold winter day, where cooking the veggies, meats, noodles, fish, etc right in front of you in tasty boiling soup will warm you up in a second. Or if it's summer and it's sweltering hot outside, it's still good if they blast the air conditioning where it feels like winter, which is what Winter Steam Pot did! Yay!!! So let me tell you about this AMAZING deal. For $90HKD you get all you can eat of almost EVERYTHING, which basically comes out to a little over $10USD. What a deal! I love Hong Kong! In the future if I take my hard earned US dollars and spend it there, I could live like a queen! What an idea!

Pre-Dinner Snacks

Table Top Burner

Pot with steaming soup...

Very typical HK style soups; left = clear broth, right = spicy spicy spicy!

Dumplings

Oink Oink EAT ME! @ Hong Kong (TST)

Parked car at the country club that my familia is part of on our way to Hot Pot and I had to use the restroom. Went inside the country club and guess what I found outside by the pool! A whole ROAST SUCKLING PIG! It looked really good...and I just wanted to nom nom nom it!

Ha Ne Sushi @ Hong Kong (Mei Foo)

More sushi! So-so-so sushi. Itame that I had at Festival Walk in Kowloon Tong Station was WAYYYY better. The sushi at Ha Ne wasn't really fresh. It was still super cheap and still better than the worse sushi that I've had in the states. But meh...I wouldn't go back if I went back to Hong Kong. Enough said.

Salmon Hand Roll

Fresh Scallops

Sashimi Combo

[salmon, tuna, egg]

Uni

Udon

surprisingly this was good, maybe this place isn't for sushi. so sad

Sportful Garden Restaurant @ Hong Kong [Mei Foo]

Dim sum...I say yayyy!!!! Always heard about good dim sum in Hong Kong, and boy is it! Unique too.

Abalone Rice Noodles

fresh and not chewy at all!

Snow Pea's Leave's Shoots Dumplings

my fav veggie in a dumpling, who would have known! so sweet!

 Fried Turnip Roll

this was like o-m-g-delicious! like the crust was this buttery flakey thing, and inside was shreds of turnip that just melted!

Foie Gras Dumpling

i <3 foie gras..seriously. outer shell was like rice noodles that have been deep fried. 

Potstickers w. Crab Roe

comparable to the xiao long bao at Shanghai Joe's in NYC!!

 Abalone Siu Mai

not impressed. the siu mai wasn't good and they just slapped a piece of abalone on top. they didn't have reg siu mai and that's all i wanted. by the way this restaurant is known for its abalone in dishes. but siu mai was, happy garden in SF is wayyy better.

Steamed Pork Spareribs

Mango Cream w/ Sago & Grapefruit
nice and refreshing...and light. healthy after all the fried dumplings too!

Steamed Egg Yolk Bun w/ Designs

Sa Kay @ Hong Kong (Jordan)

Finally simple food! Finally non-fancy food! Peasant food, hahahahaha. But really good normal food. Super tasty and best part! The clay pot rice! YES!

Sweet & Sour Pork

yes it is very white, but when this is done right, it's absolutely amazing

 Razor Clams in Black Bean Sauce

so fresh! never had razor clams

Claypot Rice w. Chicken and Salted Fish

apparently since it was no longer winter, restaurants stop serving clay pot rice since it's too hot to eat in such warm weather. familia had to call all over hong kong to find a reputable restaurant that served this

 Something Chicken

hahah BOLD FLAVORS

Tofu w. Minced Shrimp

simply refreshing

 Fish Stomach w. Prawns

this didn't look appetizing to me, so i stayed away from it

Salt & Pepper Calamari

they chopped off the tentacles! they're the best part and they didn't serve it. made me sad!

 Veggies w. Glass Noodles

Stir Fry Beef

i don't know if you've noticed but i didn't eat very much beef on this trip, so i mentioned it to the family and they ordered it just for me. the beef was tender! i was impressed!

McDonalds part deux @ Hong Kong [Mei Foo]

MORE MCDONALDS! But this time it's legit, and we're not talking just fillet-o-fish, I'm talking the big hoopla; soda, french fries, hamburger and wait for it....FRIED CHICKEN WINGS!

I wish we had fried chicken wings in the states, it would make every mcdonalds better, and it's actually better than KFC, questionable if popeye's.

I have to say that McDonalds in Hong Kong is wayyy better than it is in the states. The ingredients are a lot more fresh, there's less oil, it tastes less processed and it's cheaper!

All for Me!

Big N' Tasty

bun: fluffy, not oily and fresh from oven - didn't taste like processed bun; meat: apparently from autstralia, not greasy, didn't taste like "fake" meat, but real hamburger patty; cheese: real and melted like gooeyness; veggies: uber fresh. Overall: superb! best big'n tasty ever!

McWings

best part of McDonalds in Hong Kong. the MCWINGS! Think the "sauceless spicy wings" at KFC, but 100x better and didn't have the same oily-guilty feeling. that's all it is. sooo good!!! i want these shipped to me, PLEASE!

 French Fries

ok i have to admit that this was my one major disappointment. i have always loved mcdonald's french fries, and they are my favorite of all the fast food chain, it's something about them. maybe it's the fact that they're so preserved that they remain unchanged and unmolded after 30 days. something like that. but these fries, were too fresh, they weren't processed, i didn't taste the preservatives and they weren't oily! they tasted too healthy to be mcdonald's fries. sadface.
