We went shopping with Ms JJ and decided to have some healthy dinner with beauty benefits 🙂 After all, somebody is getting married soon!
Arròs Negre
We had initially wanted to go to 49 Seats (it opened a new branch here in Orchard Central), but the queue was oh-so-long, so we went to Milagro opposite, and what an unexpected find it was!
Delicious fish dumplings!
We finally managed to meet up with Ms J for supper at her favourite noodles stall, which was apparently very popular, and especially famous for hand-made fish dumpling “her giao” (鱼饺). When we arrived at the shop close to midnight, we were shocked at the crowd! The tables were sprawling to outside of the shop… and beyond 😮
We quickly made our orders (and were told that the estimated waiting time was around 45 minutes), take our queue number tag, before searching for a table. Cold drinks were self-service, and we just grabbed whatever we wanted from the fridge. Unfortunately, the drinks guy was too busy and though he promised to get us cups of ice later, he totally forgot about it 😦
The wait did not feel too long, especially when we have good company 🙂 Even better, if you enjoy the very retro 1940s-1960s Chinese music? I could imagine my parents singing along!
Teddy’s US Beef Burger
BBQ Baby Back Ribs
Conveniently located just next to Exit H of Outram MRT station, hubby wanted to try out this place because of the waffles, but we got distracted by other stuff instead 😛
Blue Oysters
We remembered the hugeeeee beef ribs that we had at Bardoque some time back, and were keen to try some of the other dishes.
While the food prices were definitely reasonable, we discovered that warm water actually cost $2 here 😮 Cold water came in the form of bottled water. The other drinks were comparable to other cafe prices. I guess the food and drinks prices kinda balance out after all.

Braised Coconut with Snow Fungus
Beef with Melted Cheese
Located at a corner of Jubilee Square, this is a cosy little halal eatery that is rather popular. It started with just desserts alone (if my memory did not fail me) but now is also serving mains and dim sum! Somehow it managed to pack around 30 seats within such a small space, really reminding us of Hong Kong! We decided to try a couple of items.

Dinner spread
We made our way to Tung Chung 東涌 to do some last minute shopping, and also to stay here for the night, so as to catch our early morning 7am flight the next day. It was dinner time by the time we were done shopping, and so out we went looking for food!
The dinner buffet at the hotel did not really appeal to us, so we went over to the food court in the outlet mall, and 點好味點心燒味專門店 Hao Chi Cantonese Dim Sum looked like an affordable option!
We ordered a Roasted Goose BBQ platter (HKD 168+10% service charge) and a Boiled Seasonal Vegetables (HKD 20). We thought that the chicken and char siew was quite good, but of course, the goose paled in comparison 😛 The vegetables was standard fare.
Not too bad as a last meal for the trip, given that there were not really that many options, and we look forward to our next trip 🙂

Fish Ball and Pig’s Blood
For our last few trips to Hong Kong, we would always come here for some street foods, and this time it was no exception too 🙂
Located just by the exit of the very long overhead bridge, there was always a crowd in front the this shop. We had a large bowl of 猪红 Pig’s Blood (HKD 20) and a small bowl of 鱼蛋 Fish Ball in Curry Sauce (HKD 10). There were a lot of fish balls, which hubby enjoyed very much. And of course, I totally enjoyed the smooth cubes of pig’s blood! My friends call me a vampire :X
But actually, when mummy first fed me this when I was young, I did not know that it was actually blood… It looked like dark bean curd. So many years down the road, when I finally realised what it was really made of, ah… It was kind of too late to stop 😛

We kept passing by this cafe whenever we exit the MTR at Sheung Wan. Today was the last time we would be travelling by this station, so we figured that this would be our final stop before leaving Hong Kong island!
18 Grams is a chain of specialty coffee that has branches in various parts of Hong Kong. They brew coffee using Pour Over, Syphon, Aeropress, Cold Brew, Clever Cup, Chemex and french press, as well as the usual Expresso coffees.
I wanted a Matcha Latte (HKD 45), while hubby decided to try an original Shakerato (HKD 45). Ah! What a wonderful balance between the sweetness of the milk, and the bitterness of the matcha… Loved it! 🙂 The cold Shakerato looked innocently pretty but was very intense! Woah! I totally woke up with a tiny sip 😮
