CY and myself were feeling a tad hungry late at night and thus went around looking for a place to have supper around our hotel. So, off to a restaurant round the corner from our hotel it was.
Kai Kee is a restaurant that operates like your typical Hong Kong cafe. The menu consists of mainly 鱼蛋粉 (Fishball noodles). Their version of Fishball noodles is different from one that you would see here in Singapore. It is cooked in a rich and flavourful soup, very much like your wanton noodles with soup.
There are many things that you can associate Hong Kong with – Great Dim Sum, Friendly people, Lively tea houses and the list goes on.
蓮香樓 (Lin Heung Tea House) is the epitome of such great such association – Excellent Dim Sum, Friendly and Hospitable people and a lively tea house (char cha teng).
If you are anywhere near the coffee lover that I am, you will naturally fall in love with Oriole Cafe. The Piccolo Latte ($5.50++) that owner Keith Loh made. What differentiates the Oriole’s Piccolo latte from a Cafe Latte from the likes of Coffee Bean is that you get (1) Well roasted coffee beans (Bitter coffee is a good indication of over roasted beans) and (2) A good proportion of Espresso Coffee and Milk (None of that 1/3 Espresso, 2/3 Milk proportions here). Can I just add that the Latte Art that Oriole prides itself upon is just a joy to look at?
Hello there,
I apologise for the lack of updates on my blog and I should have posted this entry prior to the start of my trip.
Your humble author is currently in Hong Kong, eating his heart’s out and will be back in Singapore on Wednesday, 7th April 2010.
Do come back when I have reviews of my epicurean adventures in Hong Kong.
