Gathering at Tao Yuen Mei Foo

It was great fun and chatting gathering with close colleagues in Tao Yuan Restaurant 21 Jan after I returned from overseas.
We have five bottles of wine and we did a seqeuence of drink from right to left. Amongst those bottles, I nominated Nenin 1997 best wiht fine pallet of frangance of mixture of pear, lead and earth!

We had had some fish, prawns, barbeque pork, vegetable, the main host is not the wine, food not the people we are in the meeting, but all that kind of laughter’s joys, and fun we shared with old chaps some who we have being working more than 20 years in one company!

We had exchanged some most of the miserable event, happiest moment, unforgettable times, tears and laughter after we have been survived so long in a company. I had to leave for another meeting at Panda Hotel for another hour of drink with colleague from Singapore who had hand carried a Chuen Tsui Duck from Beijing sending from one very special colleague Fred who had once working with me in Shan Dong.. Wish him all the best in his current assignment. I belive one thing world is small and we will meet one day.
I believe one thing, that the honest will be honored one day.

I believe one thing; the hard working people will deserve good reward.

I believe, one day the puppy will be the bull dog one day.

I believe that one day the stock price will reach HKD$120 before Chinese New year…!
I believe true friendship will be the referee for time forever.

The next gathering will be arrange to celebrate my Blog page views is accumulated larger than 200,000!
See you next round of wine Gathering!

Arabian Cuisine In Manila

As for the first time to try out Arabian food, I chose carefully a simple Mushroom Soup, a vegetable Salad, and Ox Tongue and some beef. The taste of This Arabian food it too have, too salty and totally loss of the original taste of meat. The soup and Salad is OK and is quite Italian, but the Main course is not good as far as health is concerned, the taste is another quetsion. I will try more carefully next time to choose for the Arabian cuisine!

Hokkaido Icecream in Gateway

If you like icecream whilst you are doing a Marathon Shopping along Ocean Terminal, Ocean Centre down to Gateway Shopping Arcades, you can stop by the Food Court in front of City Super, whereby you can have a good selection of Fresh Icecream from Hokkaido. Taste is great, a bit too sweet in my standard for sweets but they are very creamy and smooth...Don't miss it...

Mou Mou Club Hong Kong

This is one of the choice if you like steam boat, especially Japanese beef!, Situated in Tsuen Wan Jesco, buffet for one hour and or 90 minutes depending afternoon or evening.
As for this afternoon, me and my daughter went to taste this Beef Buffet, we could have an unlimited supply of Beef if your stomach could hold it...Two hot drinks, other food like Toufu, Spinach, Udon, Noodles, Sausages...
One thing I do not like is that the stwardesses came to me every 15 minutes reminding me how much time Left for the food, I think they should remind their customers once 15 minutes before the ending time should be good enough. As I do not like being PUSHED everytime when I am having meal. As I could see my neigbourers were trying to eat as much as they could in limited time of 60 minutes. I do not think that is good idea for their health.

Hong Kong s' Most Poplar Chiu Chow cuisine: Da Lan?

Da Lan is a typical Chiu Chow style of food, usually they display the cooked food in pot in front of you, so that you can choose what ever you like. Da Lan, is likely those related to the street shop, and to me a lower class food category for Chiu Chow cuisine., I had tried it once many year ago when we went out with schoolmate for celebration for something. Since we were not rich to go to those famous restaurant. We chose this Da Lan… It was not expensive as we did not take those so called First Class (expensive) food like the cold crab. We did try the goose meat with Dou fu…
Some deep fried Clam with Chili. Some Pig’s blood and the green vegetable ne bowl of Congee.
Last week my little girl urged me to go for Da Lan which I had not tasted more than 3 years. At Tsuen Wan , street store.. a lot of local people would like to go...
A Bottle of Blue Girl beer, likely the most popular beer for Hong Kong People.
A plate of Chili Clam, Hot pot Chicken. Chile Crab, that was all.
It was a local favour, not too much excited with their way they serve as people are waiting and you may not have a lot of time for eating SLOWLY. The Chili Clam was excellent and I made a repeated order… The Chicken was bad… The Chile Crab is Good.
That was a hot night, so there was not aircon. Only Street side Fan con. A hot Summer night, hot Chili Crab and a hot heart for a night with my daughter… wonderful Dinner.
Total HKD$280.00 (USD$36.00!)

Chui Wah Champagne Milk Tea

gne

Two days ago there was a HK Milk Team competition as one of the event in the food festival every year.
Milk Tea is likely the most preferred drink for people of Hong Kong, there are a lot od trade secret for a cup of milk tea. I used to take a hot one rather than a Ice Cold Milk tea for health reason. As a Ice Cold Milk tea would solidify the fat in the food, that may be accumulate if we take it everyday. and there have been scientific proof to have cancer related to this drinking habbit.
But in the hot Summer, a cup of Ice Cold Milk Tea would soothe our mental stress during Hi Tea. Next time, I would recommend ou to try this Champagne milk tea from Chui Wah restaurant, it is refreshing, smooth and full of tea aroma. Only HKD$18.00. Well, go with a Ball Law Bao with a thick piece of Butter! Probbaly the best Tai Pai Tang favour in Hong Kong!
