Tim Ho Wan

Officially the best char siu bao I've ever had.  And the cheapest Michelin starred restaurant in the world.

The bbq pork buns are definitely special.  Baked, butter and sweet.  Three of us ordered a total of 18...  mostly for dine in and a few for take away.

The restaurant is small and the wait is long.  But make yourself comfortable because it's cheap and worth the time!

Green Waffle

Sunday Brunch at Green Waffle

This little diner does waffles best. They offer wholewheat and buckwheat waffles, and they are really good. Everything else is just ok, so stick to the waffles.

I did notice Chicken and Waffles on the menu! And while I've been known to do that from time to time, I know it won't be right without a side of mac and cheese and sweet tea.

Rocksalt

Things I love: days off from work, beach, burgers, new restaurants, and my favorite holiday in HK is Dragon Boats. Before we hit the races, we fueled up at Rocksalt.

The food all around was really good, and to top it off the price was just right. Places like that in HK tend to overcharge for average fare. They were also nice enough to hold our reservation because we were late due to holiday traffic.

The burger was really good, the fries with sour cream and sweet and sour sauce were very tasty, and the citrus cole slaw was very refreshing. Thumbs up for this burger.

It's also located on the main drag in Stanley with a view of the water. Nice work Rocksalt.

Frites

Weeknight pre- A Team movie dinner at Frites!

This restaurant is fab because it has an old school feel. Doubly fab because if you order dinner before 7 pm there are some really great specials. One of them being this steak and a glass of wine!

The mussels looked really yummy as well, so that's a must for next time.

Hakka Ye Ye

Weeknight pre-World Cup dinner at Hakka Ye Ye.

Everything on the menu sounded really good, and they have quite an extensive menu with good vegetarian options as well.

For starters, we kicked it off with some pork which was really good.

Shiok Update

Heard through the grapevine that Shiok is now closed. And so is the life cycle of a HK restaurant.

Sh!ok

A Sunday in the life of a Hongkonger: Brunch with a friend, a walk around the hood, coffee and reading, pick up a few things at the grocery store. Walk through your door. Try and figure out what's for dinner when another friend finds you and says let's grab some grub.

Since just about all of my friends here are expats, we can use comfort food as a regular excuse to get together. Even if the home comforts are not your own. Ting was craving Singaporean food, and I love to be dragged along in food exploration. So a few of us gathered for dinner at Sh!ok to try it out for the first time.

In my mouth, after the jump...
