Food Porn: Hong Kong ' 09 continued

Did you have a good lunch? Now back to work and back to my list:

#6 ANA Oyster and Grill, Hong Kong:
Pea and I met up with some of her friends and had a feast! The locale is nothing I've ever been to. The resto is located on the 4th floor of a non-descrip building stacked with other business and offices. We had a patio/garden table. It was surrounded on 3 sides by other skyscrapers and the view was only straight up - dinner under the stars. To start - raw oysters and clams, from all around the world. I came all the way to Hong Kong to have an oyster from the Pacific USA. And it tasted like it was caught the same day. DEE-LISH!

#7 Margaret's Café e Nata, Macau:
It was time for our day-trip to Macau. When we first arrived, we asked the tourism booth where was the best Portuguese egg tart. By the end of the day, the heat had drained us of our culinary vigor, and it was soon time to leave this wonderful place. We were just about to give up on the tart when we took one last turn and found it! Did you know when these tarts first arrived in Taipei bakeries years ago, people rioted when there was a purchase limit imposed? It was ugly. But I can see why a tart would start a riot. Like buttah!

#8, King's Palace Congee and Noodle, Hong Kong Int'l Airport, Terminal 1:
We had been immersed in a busy week and a half of shopping, sight-seeing, partying, spa-pampering, lunching, more shopping... I dunno how the tai-tais (ladies of leisure) do it all the time. We knew it was definitely time to escape for a weekend mini-break in Cebu, Philippines. No time for brekky at home, so we ate at the airport. I was very impressed with the selection in each terminal. North American airports should really take notes. Starbucks does NOT serve real food people! Now this was a real meal with built-in friendly caution. And I didn't have to eat it out of a pastry bag or on styrofoam. So civilized even when you're leaving!!! I ♥ HK.


#9 In-room dining, Maribago Bluewater Beach Resort, Cebu, Philippines:
Pea and I lazed by the pool, sunned, swam, jet-skied, ate, and ate some more. It was an exhausting mini-break! Grilled squid stuffed with fresh veggies and lemon butter sauce eaten on the bed, in front of the telly. Lovely. It was such a change from the hustle of Hong Kong yet only a couple of hours away. *sigh* What a great end to wonderful visit with my mon amie. Thanks Pea, for showing me Hong Kong and beyond!

Now, what are you gonna have for dinner?
