HK: A Foodies Guide – Series 3!

Hong Kong

What I have for you today is a popular HK fast food. They call it “rice boxes” there, and basically is a lunchbox. In the picture shown here, it is a combination of roast pork, and steamed chicken. There are many HK BBQ’s around in Brisbane that serve the same dish, just that they just don’t do it the same as the one shown here.

The chicken itself, combined with the ginger and shallot (on the right) makes for a delicious taste. Without it, the chicken doesn’t have too much taste to it. The pork is split into the skin and the meat. The red slices are the pork skin which are very crunchy and is kinda like chips, but heaps better! The meat itself is actually pork belly, and is marinated in various herbs and spices. All in all, this was a tasty meal for a small 5 AUD (roughly)!

PS – Sorry guys, I’ve been a bit busy, but will continue to try and make weekly entries for you regular readers! =D

HK: A Foodie’s Guide – Series 2!

Only In HK

As simple as this is, I still haven’t found anywhere in Brisbane that can make this “soup noodle”. I bring you won ton noodles! For some reason all the won ton’s here in Brisbane only contain pork and feel like pork meatballs wrapped with the won ton pastry. The ones in HK actually have heaps of prawns as well as tasting really good. In terms of noodles, these ones had a springy feel to it. It’s probably my first time having this, and it was so worth it for about 7 AUD I think. So next time you’re in HK, give it a go, many places have it, and it will be well worth your money!

Common starter in HK cuisine.

Hey guys! How’s everything going? Well this blog has finally come back from hiatus, to bring you a series of great food, that range from different styles, all from the city of Hong Kong. To start off, I have for you a cold dish known as “Lou Sui” in Cantonese, being a special soy sauce marinade, that is a little sweet, with a bit of salty taste to it.

Pictured here includes boiled egg marinated with the sauce after boiling, duck wings, duck breast, and duck giblets I believe. It makes for a great appetiser to share with everyone, but is also great to serve with rice too! Personally I prefer my mum’s version of it – if I have the chance I’ll post that up sometime too!

Duck Duck Goose~

Hey guys, how’s everything? Hope you guys are keeping warm and eating well!

What I have for you is a popular dish from China. It’s pretty easy, just check out the pic after the jump!
