After being in Hong Kong for a year. I can finally post recommendations on where to eat. You know, places where locals go.
Jesse found this really old school restaurant that serves great steak. Getting there is quite the pain from where we live but if you are living in HK Island, it is easy peasy.
That restaurant is located in Hang Hau Village. I believe you have to get off the MTR at Hang Hau station. If you are a local, you'd probably take the bus but I recommend that you take a taxi.

If all else fail, Google the shit out of Lardos Steak House.
As you can see, this place cannot look any dodgier than this. They do not offer any frills. Only great food and great service. But you always have to make reservation. Don't expect to just turn up and get seats or great cuts.

This is us and other people peeking inside while waiting for them to open. They usually offer two seatings. Once at 6pm and another at 8pm.
The Chateaubriand is to die for. Imagine steak done in the right temperature melting in your mouth!
Dining at Lardos, one thing you can't expect is great presentation. They don't even try to match their cutleries or plates. Maybe that is why I like it even more.
You will be greeted with salad and a basket of warm bread as soon as you sit down.

Our intention was to get there, eat the Chateaubriand and hopefully dessert because we always never leave any space for dessert everytime we dine out. So, we had it all planned out. Share an appetizer so we won't get too full.
And then, I saw Lobster Bisque as their special of the day. Sigh. I had to have it. It is my favourite soup in the world.

It came in a super big salad kinda bowl. It is probably the biggest and most yummy lobster bisque I ever had.
There were chunks and chucks of lobster bits in it. I loved it.
Medium Rare.
Asparagus in chicken stock. Very light and crunchy.
As predicted, we missed out on the dessert because we were too full. By the time we left, we were experiencing food coma.
In total the meal came up to around HKD1,200. Which is very reasonable for the quality of food.
We spent way more the week before at #Bisteca, #LanKwaiFong. Probably the worst steak I ever had in my life there and super overpriced. Please don't go there if you ever visit #HongKong.
