Tim Ho Wan @ IFC Mall, Central


A quick hi to the turtles before heading out for our breakfast @ Tim Ho Wan.


Tim Ho Wan @ IFC Mall


Though we headed out early to queue, the place is already fill up with people.


...and we are number 77!! 


But we were lucky, as when we are queuing, it's already number 60. But will still got to wait for 45 minutes.


The combination of the bouncy prawns & the smooth & delicate wrapper gives the siew mai a very good texture.


Har Gao (Prawn Dumpling). Nothing much special about this as I feel it's kinda normal.


Pai Kuat (Steamed Pork Ribs). Soft & tender.


Prawn Chee Cheong Fun (Prawn Rice Noodle Roll). Perhaps not the best I've had. It's kinda thick & quite sticky. 


Pan Fried Turnip Cake. The turnip was kinda chunky & it's also a little slimy. Though the taste was good. 


Steamed rice with chicken & chinese sausage (lap cheong). 


Lor Mai Fun (Sticky Rice Wrapped with Lotus Leave).


Rice was soft & it's not as sticky as I though. Taste was good too. A must try when visiting Tim Ho Wan.


Tim Ho Wan's signature roasted pork bun. 


A combination of crispy pineapple bun & roasted pork. It's crispy on the outside & hot & soft on the inside. A must try dish if you ever visit Tim Ho Wan.


Guai Fan Gou (Chrysanthemum & Wolfberry Jelly). Jelly was soft & bouncy. Taste


Glutinous rice cake rolled with red bean & scraped coconut. Don't really know how to describe this. But I think it's sticky, chewy & yummy? Haha

Cocky Bar @ The One


The One Shopping Mall.


Where Cocky Bar is located on the 18th floor.


Decided to be the hero and sit outside. 


Top left, Tokyo Girl (Vodka, Lychee Liquor, Blue Curacao & Sprite)

Top right, Mikado (Fresh pineapple, Midori, Peach Liquor, Vodka & Cranberry Juice)

As for the shots, I've kinda forget what are the names, but if I remember correct the far right is Around the World but don't think I can remember the other 2. 

And the little guitar shaped skewer at the far right are grilled sweet potatoes and I think is the most expensive sweet potatoes I've ever ate!! Haha


It's only 18th floor but the view was tremendously beautiful. A really great place to hang out with friend or have some drink with your love ones.


To be honest, it was freezing cold as it was still winter in Hong Kong and we are on the 18th floor!



Guest I'll never get board of Hong Kong (at the moment).


After 45 minutes or so we decided to change our to indoor as we could not tolerate with the cold anymore. 





The colorful bar.

Celebrity Cuisine @ Lan Kwai Fong Hotel, Kau U Fong


Celebrity Cuisine @ Lan Kwai Fong Hotel @ Kau U Fong.


They are awarded 2* by Michelin.



Pan Fried Turnip Pudding. Perfectly pan fried, crispy on the outside & smooth on the inside.


Steamed Crab Pincers with Egg White. Crab meats are tender & moisture and it goes perfectly well with the steam egg white.


Golden Prawns in Supreme Broth. This dish is beyond words. Prawn was cooked in perfection & it goes really well with Celebrity Cuisines' special broth.


Crab Au Gratin (Baked Stuffed Crab). Cheesy & creamy, a perfect combination. Though I feel it's more to Western style than Chinese style cooking.


Choy Sum in Superior Broth. Simply & healthy.


Steamed Rice with Seafood Served in Lotus Leaves.


The lotus leave adds a special touch to the rice that makes it really aromatic & yummy. Rice was perfectly cooked.


Fresh fruits to wash the salty taste before our desert. Fruits are really sweet. An expectation from a Michelin stared restaurant.


Sweet Red Bean Soup with Bird's Nest. A taste of home cooked dessert. 


Sweet Almond Tea with Bird's Nest.

A clear sky with fresh air & cooling breeze makes it a perfect morning.




On the way to the MTR station @ Sheung Wan



Arrived at Mong Kok for our brunch at Tea Wood.

If you are not able to find the entrance to Wah Centre, just follow the sign board. But to be honest, you will never get lost as the entrance is just around the corner. 


Tea Wood @ Wah Centre.


The place is kinda empty as we've arrived early.


The place is will decorated with wood themes. 



The wall is also decorated with photos of Tea Wood's food pictures & also an advertisement of a love story that is shot at Tea Wood.

To be honest, if this comes with a box, it makes a perfect bird house. Haha






Fresh Pearl Milk with Black Sugar.


Citrus Oolong. The taste of the tea was okay, but it's abit too sweet. 


Mango Cream Cake.



Raspberry honey toast topped with fresh raspberries, raspberry ice cream & drizzle with raspberry syrup. In between the ice cream & the crunchy crust are some soft buttery sliced bread cube. Every bite is an enjoyable one.
