The first time we ate at 456 Modern Shanghai Cuisine was in 2010 and we loved it so much we made sure to eat there again last December. The restaurant was located at The Venetian’s St. Mark’s Square. The soup was the only dish we previously ordered. Green Vegetable & Mandarin Fish Soup MOP$45 perContinue reading “456 Modern Shanghai Cuisine at The Venetian Macao”

Choi Heong Yuen & Koi Kei Bakeries Macau
What do you when you stay at The Venetian Macao? You shop!!! With over 600 shops inside the hotel it’s a shopper’s dream. I hit two popular Portugese style bakeries in the Shoppes Grand Canal. Both stores are very popular with tourists who buy bags and bags of goodies. Almost everything in the store can beContinue reading “Choi Heong Yuen & Koi Kei Bakeries Macau”
Imperial House Dim Sum
Last December we took a short trip to Macao from Hong Kong. Months before our trip I looked at the rates and room pictures of virtually all the newer hotels in Macao. Sure there were a lot of really nice looking rooms but the sizes were much smaller than Venetian’s Verona suite and the priceContinue reading “Imperial House Dim Sum”
Happy Hour at Morton’s Hong Kong
I like beef but I’m not a steak lover. I can’t even finish an order of steak that’s probably why I’ve never eaten at Morton’s The Steakhouse before. I’ve know about their free steak sandwiches during happy hour for years but I’ve never tried it until my friend Tisay invited me last December. Morton’s isContinue reading “Happy Hour at Morton’s Hong Kong”
More Chuk Yuen Love
We always eat at Chuk Yuen on our first or second day in Hong Kong. It’s my comfort food in Hong Kong and I really needed it after my unsatisfactory meals at Carpaccio and Ginza Bairin the previous day. When you have lunch at Chuk Yuen they USUALLY offer you FREE hot sugarcane or orangeContinue reading “More Chuk Yuen Love”
Dinner at Ginza Bairin
Jin loves to eat and I arrived in Hong Kong on the same day last December. I arrived in the afternoon while she arrived at night. She wanted me to wait for her to have dinner together. At 9:00 pm!!! After my last meal at Carpaccio hours before I was hungry. I suggested Ginza Bairin sinceContinue reading “Dinner at Ginza Bairin”
Afternoon Tea at Carpaccio
Since I stay so close to iSquare in Hong Kong I’ve tried most of the restaurants in the mall some more than three times. I often pass by Carpaccio but have never tried it since I had no desire to eat pasta or pizza in a country with terrific Chinese and Asian cuisine. When IContinue reading “Afternoon Tea at Carpaccio”
Green King at Butao Ramen 豚王
Yesterday I went back to Butao Ramen since my mom and my friend Elizabeth wanted to try the Black King since I was raving about it. It was also my chance to try the Green King. That’s my mom sitting on the stool first in line at 11:30 am. They were a little late openingContinue reading “Green King at Butao Ramen 豚王”
Lunch at Butao Ramen 豚王
I’ve written that I’m not a big fan of ramen. I did try Ukokkei, Ippudo and Mitsuyado Sei-Men and enjoyed my meals there but still wasn’t convinced. I think I’ve found the ramen that has made me a convert. I’ve read about Butao Ramen from numerous blogs and online magazines and I’ve always wanted to tryContinue reading “Lunch at Butao Ramen 豚王”
Pak Loh Chiu Chow Restaurant @ Elements Mall
We always check in at the Airport Express station in Austin Road just so we can do last minute shopping or eating at Elements Mall which is connected to the station. One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong, Pak Loh Chiu Chow has a branch at Elements Mall. The other restaurants nearby barelyContinue reading “Pak Loh Chiu Chow Restaurant @ Elements Mall”
