City Super
Times Square Basement One, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong
Hong Kong

Living in Hong Kong, I miss eating gourmet cheese and chocolate that I found readily at a great price in San Francisco. Citysuper is a gourmet super market that cares about delivering quality products at a marked up price.

I tried their boxed sushi and it was good, but not great. When purchasing boxed sushi, look for fresh red colors in tuna and vibrant orange in salmon.

Whether you’re looking for a prized piece of wagyu beef or fresh sashimi, trek to Citysuper and shop around. They also have a fresh bakery and carry an international selection of food products.

I love grilled meats especially well seasoned with herbs. Although I don’t know the specific health effects of grilling, Healthy Up Your Burger with This Spice is an article that suggest rosemary may make your grilled meat more healthy.

Simple Bread is one of the few places in Hong Kong that serves artisan breads. I ordered the vegetable sandwich that delivered a vibrant garden fresh taste. With diagonal grill marks, the vegetables (eggplant, red and yellow peppers) are lightly seasoned and then served on a crispy bread.

The open kitchen gives it charm and a nice view of the harbor makes the meal even better.

On my first visit to City Super, I enjoyed my shopping experience. They simply have everything for the gourmet food lover.

This time around, I hip hopped around the City Super in IFC. Notable finds include Japanese marbled beef, fresh sashimi, and rack of lamb.

At the grand Times Square, City Super is a great place for food lovers. The posh super market carries a solid selection of International staples.

Fresh kimchi (Korean preserved vegetables) are sold fresh along with other pan chan (Korean side dishes)

For Japanese seafood lovers, Canadian sea urchin shipped fresh is available for, around $30 USD. Vibrant tray of yellowtail (hamachi) sashimi “whets” my palate.

A food court is available, mostly filled with Asian bites awaits the senses.

Gordon Ramsey shows how to poach an egg.

Poaching an eggs is all about technique. Gently pouring a cracked egg into boiling water is key. I do not like putting the egg in iced water since this brings down the temperature of the egg.

As I blog, my mouth is watering from this recipe. Gordon Ramsey demonstrates how cooking salmon can be easy. I want to try the potato crab meat.

Technique is key in cooking. Gordon Ramsey demonstrates how to make fluffy eggs. I like that the hot tempered chef explains why he uses certain technique.

Gordon Ramsey shows us how to make a simple sauce that pairs well with savory breast. On a recent trip to Chapeau in San Francisco, I spent around $30 for duck breast.

Now, I want to try this recipe.

Gordon Ramsey demonstrates how to cook chicken stuffed with nuts. The nutty and savory notes from the bacon carries the dish.

“No more shark fin soup for you!”

Like the saying goes, there are plenty fish in the sea. In her case, there are plenty of sharks in the sea.

Let me explain more. Shark fin soup is a delicacy in Asia, revered since it symbolized prestige and wealth. In the Chinese cuisine, rare means luxurious. Other delicacy includes sea cucumber and bear paws.

A business dinner would be a suitable example of when shark fin soup is served.
But if the last bowl runs out, you will never catch me complaining looking like a cockroach.

Enjoy the famous Seinfield “No soup for you!” clip.

Gordon Ramsey is refreshing. He is blunt yet he executes. In the interview, the hot tempered chefs talks about how he was fired because he slept with his boss’s wife and shows the lighter side, playing with his kids.

Hot tempered chef personality Gordon Ramsey cooks up a mouth-watering steak. I like how the video is shot at lightening speed yet it communicates the use of main ingredients.

Side note. A few years ago, I auditioned for Hell’s Kitchen and got through the second round.
