was treated to a thai restaurant in causewaybay.
thai-jade thai's-food restaurant
quite a mouthful for a name of a restaurant
shouldnt it be simple so that people can remember it easily?
anyways,
these were what we had......
raw prawns. sashimi in thai cuisine? this is new to me :)
if you've noticed, i never rarely take thai food when going out with friends. of course, i'd order tomyam in certain shops, especially malay shops, but i will not suggest going to a THAI RESTAURANT for THAI CUISINE.
due to the location of my birthplace, we also go to THAILAND for shopping and food. thus, whenever i crave for thai food, i'll ask dad to bring us there. nothing beats the authentic hot and spicy food in their country of origin!
some chap even believed me when i said im a thai. a chinese-thai. grin. my thai vocab is limited, although mom and dad can pass off as a thai. they can speak well. dad better of course.
mom was just telling me the other day that she regretted not applying for a thai PR. -.-
aiks. ive diverged. i am suppose to yak about hong kong arent i? sorry sorry.
bck to the prawns, they were fresh! and horribly spicy! cabai burung kind of spiciness!
this is prawn balls. they are not in the shape of a ball. urm...oblong mashed prawns? bah..whatever. u know what im talking about, right? RIGHT?
tomyam. milky type.
the must have greens. to complete the COLOURS on the table.
fried fish with sweet and sour sauce? something like that :)
after the dinner, we head straight to the MTR station. sobs. i havent had enough of causeway bay.
this is the aforementioned Lin Heung !
like this place for the old fashioned ambience. classic
one of the places in HK that i can and will remember;)
Lin heung still keeps the tradition of having push carts.
the lady in the middle is a malaysian and that's her daughter beside her.
we 'tap toi' with them and later on only the uncle in yellow joined in. he talks a lot:) friendly chap
roasted goose bihun soup
ekekekeke
obviously, by listening to the name of the dish, i named it myself :p
salted egg yolk revealed itself at the core.
love it! mwah!
he lotusbao is unlike the ordinary linyongbao in malaysia. theirs is known as shanghai bao in our motherland?
stewpid kx went to order this without knowing that it is actually pig intestine. boohoo
to be polite, i ate ONE piece. it was just ONE piece yet i had to stage a brave face and chew and chew and chew THIS little component! thank god it wasnt as repulsive as livers! *gag*
im voting Lin Heung and Maxim City Hall for dimsum in HK
we went to toa heung too, which is also popular for dimsum in kowloon, but is forgettable in my opinion.
sorrow befell when i left this place. that is because i did not have a chance to eat their malaigou. no kidding. hence i left this place half-heartedly. sobs. their malaigou MUST BE divine because you have to wrestle to get hold of it! you wouldnt even have time to lay eyes on it as they were all SNATCHED AWAY as soon as they were brought out. sob again.
have i divulge the fact that MALAIGOU is my all-time favourite? i can never ever say NO to a malaigou no matter how stuffed i am!
sigh. let fate take charge this time. i will not let this happen again the next time around. this only gives me more reason to go back to HK!
isnt it quite apparent that i love this vibrant city? :)
frankly, we ate so little in this trip that i did not put on any weight at all. not really satisfied with the food crawl.
feels a little disturbed when u dont put on any KGs after a trip. like u didnt go for a trip altogether.
hee
*stick tongue out*
i still wear bangkok on my sleeve. mwahs to bangkok! :)
