Choosing a great first day place is rather hard in Hong Kong, but I think I found it after visiting Ippudo HK. My senses heightened as I hip hopped into Ippudo HK. The warm welcome and sophisticated chic design whet my palate.

Ippudo’s goal is to swerve away from the notation that ramen is simply cheap fast food.

Ippudo HK is supplying the positive reception from their sister restaurants in New York City, Singapore, and their motherland Japan.

Arriving promptly, my akamaru pork noodle ramen heightened my senses. Many components made this a stellar bowl of ramen. Side actors such creamy egg yolk add creaminess and depth. The pork pieces provide the perfect fulcrum with tender meat and fat layers for flavor.

The broth warped me to Unami (5th sense) heaven. Savory tones dance with sweet beats that make the broth irresistible.

A great starter is the pork bun in which a thin layer of fat marries so well with tender pork all wrapped in a steamed bun.

Charming features included a modern interior with open kitchen, authentic Japanese chefs, and beautifully plated dishes make it a great date place.

The cult following from Ippudo HK fans will make this popular ramen destination a hit.

The ramen is priced at 68HKD and lots of toppings can be added.

Hong Kong Restaurants

Hong Kong restaurants are simply amazing in terms of the range of food, prices, and decor. After living in Hong Kong for over a year and visiting numerous Hong Kong restaurants, I have come to conclude that eating to the Hong Kong people is actually a sport.

The best part of Hong Kong restaurants are the range in price. Hip hopping along the alley in Wan Chai, I can get a bowl of won ton noodle soup in the hole in the wall for around $2USD.

Another option is to trek down Johnston Road and dine at Crystal Jade for soup filled pork dumpling in Wan Chai Hong Kong. In a city of around seven million people, Hong Kong boasts around eight thousand restaurants.
Hong Kong restaurants are also known to focus on specific regional cuisines. Shanghainese, Cantonese, and Beijing are just a few of the regional cuisines that Hong Kong restaurants deliver.

Hong Kong Restaurants

Hong Kong restaurants range from hole in the walls to uber swanky gourmet restaurants, where the world’s rich and famous have their luxurious dinners of shark fin soup and sea cucumbers. Hong Kong restaurants cater toward the international crowd in the city.
Hong Kong restaurants operate on high rent and thus look to turn over tables as soon as possible with the exception of high end dining. Cafe de Coral and Fairwood are known as the McDonald’s of Hong Kong restaurants.

Cafe de Coral and Fairwood serve Hong Kong dishes including comfort food favorites such as baked pork chop over rice. A lean pork cutlet bathes in a sweet tomato sauce served over friend rice is a signature dish.

There are many Chinese deli’s in Hong Kong. With bbq pork and roasted pork hanging window side, deli’s serve thousands of Hong Kong locals daily.

After asking a few foodies, they agree that Joy Hing does bbq pork well. The lines also affirm this. At lunch time, hundreds of locals line up just to enjoy some great roasted meat.
On a breezy evening, I finally got a chance to try their food. Sitting in old stools and worn down rustic tables, I shared a table with a stranger. In Hong Kong, space is limited and expensive so sharing table is a norm.

In my broken Chinese I yelled, “I’ll have the trio rice plate.”

Arriving over pillowy rice, the trio of bbq pork, poached chicken, and duck stirred my hunger. They don’t even bother to neatly fan out the meat pieces. But for around $4 USD, it was a great value.

The bbq pork lived up to its hype. Glazed in a sweet sauce, the pork meat was tender and lean lacking any fat. My below par experience at Win Wah had given me a bad taste. With gamy tones, the duck meat dipped in sour sauce was just nominal. The gamy tones had overpowered my palate.

San Xi Lou Hong Kong Restaurants

Served with ginger sauce, the poached chicken lacked salty tones that make poached chicken great. I suggest ordering their bbq pork only. The seaweed soup (~$1USD) had sea-sweat tones that finished off a good meal.

Hong Kong restaurants also serve amazing Japanese cuisine. Japanese restaurants such as Genki and others serve conveyor belt sushi.

Yuyu Sushi at 3 Ship Street in Wan Chai. Tuna sushi seared with a dash of sweet Korean sauce makes this dish a winner. The Korean sauce seared tuna should be considered Yuyu Sushi’s signature dish.

The squid sushi and raw shrimp have sea sweet tones. I think that the bbq eel is a bit firm for my taste since I prefer eel that literally melts in my life. With a nice modern decor and attentive service, YuYu sushi is a great sushi destination.

For a taste for ultimate spicy food, San Xi Lou (7/F, Coda Plaza, 51 Garden Road, Mid-Levels) is a great pick.

Nothing excites my palate more than aromatic spicy flavors from fresh chilis that burn my lip. San Xi Lou delivers this roller coaster ride for my palate and a lot more.
Waiters are dressed in charming uniforms and the open space dining room allows me to peak at what signature dishes to order.

The spicy fish bathing in an pool of vibrant chili is a winner. Soft white fish pairs well with noodle that have been seeping with flavors from the chili bath.
Noodles served al dente in a orange red hue make the dan dan noodle a winner. For vegetable option, I like the crunch baby head stir fried in vinegar and chili.
I am addicted to this restaurant simple for the thrill. While sweet drips down my face along with my lips being numb from the chili rampage, my appetite just grows by the minute as I dine in this restaurant.For diner’s who don’t like spicy, do not fret. There are items on the menu that are more tame.

Surprisingly, Hong Kong restaurants also serve great ramen. If you’re craving ramen a winner is Santouka ( 6/F, iSquare, 63 Nathan Road,, Tsim Sha Tsui )
“I’m horny for ramen!” and I reached climax. Clap! Clap! Santouka, similar to their locations in California, delivered awesome ramen.
With my anxious palms, I caressed the bowl in a gentle manner…just like carrying a newborn. After all, everything in the bowl was meticulously prepared.
Before I examined each detail, I slurped the soup. I knew I had reached comfort food heavy and was floating on Cloud 9.Few diners around me understood how to really cherish and eat ramen.

For rookie diners, they merely saw noodles and soup. But like an art lover that examines a revered painting, oh yes.. there is much more.

Whet your lips. The velveting milky soup is a perfect combination of savory and distinct nutty notes. I ordered #1 which was the salty pork ramen that featured UNAMI, the 5th sense. Shoots add just enough crunch as side actors.

Cooked al dente, the noodle are chewy and tender. Tender roast pork can literally be cut through with the tongue. Thin layers of fat just give it enough of flavor but does not overwhelm the palate. For flavor enthusiast, try the spicy ramen. With a crispy crust, the gyoza (potstickers) are a great side dish.

Save the hassle, come on the weekdays to beat the crowd.

Mak’s Won Ton Noodle

Known as the Chinese ravioli, won ton (also spelled wan ton) is known as Hong Kong’s signature dish. Starting with the filling, traditional won ton is made from pork and water chestnuts.

The great thing about won ton is that it can be cooked numerous ways. Starting with the traditional way, won ton is boiled and then served with long golden noodle.

On a chilly day, won ton served in a savory broth can be a great comfort food option.

Won ton can also be fried and served with a sweet and sour sauce. The sweet and sour sauce stimulates the appetite.

Another option is for won ton to be served in chili sauce. Enjoy and I look forward to some great food pictures.

Hunan Garden is a great find in Causeway Bay Hong Kong. Monday – Saturday, dishes (excluding dim sum + a few others) are priced at 50% off. The drunken chicken is a great starter especially on a hot summer day. The poached chicken bathing in a chilled wine sauce is served with both succulent white and dark meat pieces.

The decor rocks as well with elegant silverware.

Wing’s Catering

Landale St. number 8 Wan Chai
Hong Kong

In a quiet street alley, Wing’s Catering in Wan Chai Hong Kong makes killer grilled chicken rice plates. Crispy skin seals in the juice of the flattened out chicken patty.

Crunchy green onion dressing and sweet soy just finishes the dish so well.

Wing’s Catering has limited seating so avoid the lunch crowd and got for afternoon tea.

Pirate statues and an array of bad color schemes make us the decor but focus on the broadway stage, it is all about the food.

When you claim to be the “King” of Satay that is a pretty big claim.

A must order is their signature dish. It is just between you and the bowl. Remember, never share this dish because it is simply outrageously good. Bathing in smirky yet inviting satay curry sauce, the noodles are full of flavor from sweet to the range of aromatic goodness.

Try a different spin on dishes. The white curry in pork chop pairs so well with a bowl of pillowy rice.

Find curry dripping down the corner of your of your mouth. Need ore napkins?

No problem.

Each table is equipped with a table machine and at a push of a button, a wait staff will be notified.

So just for the day, loosen your belt and be proud to be the King of Satay.

Aside from a killer ham and cheese crepe, also try these sweet crepe. With apples fanned out along with vanilla ice cream, this crepe is a winner.

Pair the crepe with a sweet alcoholic cider that warms the sense.

The fattest way to detox after a night out is to reward your body with comfort food. If you don’t detox after a night out, you will turn into looking like a prune.

After eating specific foods such a congee, aka porridge, I have been able to detox after a night out of partying and get up the next day functioning very well.

Bright eyed, well awake.

If you have not been, ….

Hong Kong is an amazing city. Bright lights, great food, and the city never sleeps. Literally, you can find a won ton shop open filled will club goers at 4am.

After a night of dancing, in Lan Kwai Fong I was beat. Tired from the loud music and just lining up and getting into clubs.

Wouldn’t it be cool to wake up, eat some foods that will help you detox. I hip hop straight over to Ocean Empire Food shop.

The pumpkin porridge adds depth and flavor to the otherwise bland dish. Another winner is the fried doughnut wrapped with a rice noodle swimming in sweet soy sauce.

Sincerely,

Everyone like a great deal. I do.

Kichi Jyu Japanese Restaurant all you can eat Japanese in Central Hong Kong is a good deal but … the space is limited.

But for around $25 UDS, all you can eat items include sushi, a must drink Hokaido soup, skewer, tempura, and other Asian treats.

But truly, the hokaido soup plays center stage. Milky soup married with sea sweet flavors from shrimp is just a great comfort food dish. Their melt in your mouth eel nigiri sushi is worth a few orders.

An all you can eat experience is about have the freedom to order what you like when you like. Loosen you belt and let gluttony meet you head on.

I also really enjoy taking some great food photos.
