Warung Laota @ Bali, Indonesia.

Nice, sometimes after a heavy night out, we normally go for porridge for supper. This round we checked out Warung Laota at the Nusa Dua branch(they have 3 outlets in Bali). As you can see from their signage, they boldly proclaim HK porridge and seafood steamboat specialist. 

We ordered a few variety of porridges with some salted egg on the side. 

Some greens and omelets to balance out the diet (lol). Oh my don't forget the century egg and some youtiao.

 

Porridge was super good, I like it done this way, starchy with a nice thickness. Congee lah. Side dishes were good. It was a super comfort meal after a heavy night out drinking, proper supper food. Not too heavy and easy to go to bed later.

Man Kee HK Beef restaurant 民記港式牛腩麵 @ Bangsar, KL, Malaysia.

Came here to check out the beef noodles and what an awesome find. They also serve a very good chicken rice here.

Definitely have to order the cuttlefish ball in seaweed soup. Reminds me of HK. Chicken rice is superb.

The curry was beautiful, not too jelak. We just went nuts and ordered everything.

The egg tarts was to die for, and lastly the beef noodles. Ain't that a beauty

洪記牛腩 HONG KONG NOODLE @ Kepong, KL, Malaysia.

This place has all the rage that people will travel far just to taste their HK beef noodles. Came here on my own the first time. Few days later I went again with a bunch of people.

Loved the noodles texture and the beef parts had some nice umami to it.

I'll definitely come back to enjoy this beef noodles again. Superb.

Mak's Chee @ Pavilion, KL, Malaysia.

We decided to check out  Mak's wtm branch in KL at Pavilion for lunch.

It's an open kitchen in front where you can see how's the food been done.

The HK milk tea was delicious.

The leg of chicken was good.

Fried wantons.

Wantons in soup and below wtm with prawn roe.

Beef brisket is a must order to share.

Food was good, as it was still new waiting time can be a pain. I'll suggest the must order is the chicken leg, beef brisket and your choice of wantan mee. As usual can't compare to the real deal back in HK, but a worthy effort if your craving for it.

Sang Kee Congee Shop @ Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.

Although this shop is famous for its congee(which I have yet to try, next round!), I'm going for the beef noodle soup instead.

Ordered koew teow noodle soup with the all the beef parts, tripe, tendon, balls and brisket. Be warned though, the portion can be generous. Had trouble finishing the bowl, or maybe I was being greedy again as I was still full from lunch.

A dollop of chilli oil makes the whole bowl satisfying. The broth was reasonable, but I think there's something about HK beef, meat was absolutely delicious. Loved all the spare parts, and the beef balls yummy.

Tung Po Kitchen @ North Point, Hong Kong.

Beer in a bowl? Say what, I finally managed to get my ass down here, took me three years but hey I still got here.

Word of advice, better get your reservations in.

 Asahi beers served in a bowl, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

The lala cooked in chinese wine, I seriously adore this dish. Superb.

Ox tongue, yummy. Goes well with the beer.

Squid ink pasta with squid balls, a must order dish. I find it a bit bland, but my friend told me tonight the dish was so so. He tasted better the previous times. I will definitely be back to order this again and see whether he's right aha. On another note, the squid balls was awesome.

Some vege to balance the diet out.

And claypot tofu. Tofu was done nicely.

Butao Ramen @ Central, Hong Kong.

Weekday lunch time queuing for ramen, roughly 40 mins, well my mistake to come in at 12 pm, should have come 30 mins earlier.

Quite a small joint, as usual in HK.

Ordered a Black King which was a squid ink ramen, with a level 3 spicy sauce(careful with that stuff, potent, I mean it).

Ahhh check out the egg, nicely done. The ramen was executed nicely, thick hearty broth with nice infused squid ink. Can be a bit jelak, but I don't mind coming back. Maybe next time I'll skip breakfast and come here straight.

Pizza Express @ Hong Kong Airport

Flight was delayed, so had ample time to have lunch in the airport. I'm a bit bias with Pizza Express, as the chain brings back good fond memories ages ago when I first had it at the Cambridge branch, UK. That time I could only afford a Margherita pizza and a can of coke, if there was extra cash, a good house red bottle:)

Ordered a Margherita pizza(heh) top up with pepperoni and anchovies. Taste is still good, and I just love the salted anchovies, brings a nice zing to it. The menu now is so much complex with so many items to choose from. I guess, giving customers more variety.

Lin Heung Kui @ Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.

This place brings back memories, as my first ever trip to HK, was fast and furious. Think it was a 3 day 2 nights thingy, makan, booze, party and repeat. That trip was awesome as I had a good friend who organised everything and this was one of the joints we went for brunch/lunch.

It seems this is the other branch for Lin Heung from Wellington Street. That place sigh chaotic but if you wanna a taste of old school Hong Kong, go there. For comfort and more relaxing dim sum, come here! The food is equally good.

Some beef spare parts, delicious but sinful.

Siu mai , har gao the works.

  Fried yam cake and my personal favourite chee cheong fun. Oh man, definitely a must order, the chee cheong fun rocks.

Chicken feet, my friend ordered. Somehow this is just one of the things I can't seem to eat. One things for sure, this place serve good dim sums, or maybe I was nursing my hangover again eating here. Nice!
