London: Date Night at Lobster and Burger

Date night on a Wednesday is always good. Staying with the whole family again meant that we don't have much alone time till we move to our own place.

We decided to go to Burger and Lobster. A restaurant that I wanted to try for a long time now. I was very excited to go there. We read reviews and found the best branch to go to where the queue is the shortest.

All the review said that the Lobster roll is the best choice out of the 3 items on their menu, so that was what we ordered!

It lived up to our expectations. It was indeed very good and fresh. I believe it has more lobster flesh than the lobster they serve with the burger. It was very juicy and the bread was soft on the inside and chrispy on the outside. It was perfect. I love a good bread.

I didn't like the fries that came with it. It wasn't well cooked but the garlic butter sauce and salad was really good.

The service was really good as well although, our server was really the bartender.

We were supposed to wait for 45 mins for our table but we wanted some drinks so we waited at the bar. Then we decided that we didn't mind eating on the bar. I like it cos it is quite fun especially when we were having some alcohol.

It was a really good date night! 😊

Loads and loads of live and fresh lobster.

The cute bib that we wore. It is not just cute, it was actually very helpful when the garlic butter sauce dripped all over. They provide wet wipes as well so that you can just dig in with your hands. Not my favourite thing to do but I guess I'm a changed woman.

I will come back again!

Hong Kong: Very good food at ABC Kitchen, Sheung Wan

Abc Kitchen truly did not dissappoint.

I went there once and loved the food so I wanted to take my friend Poli and J there. It wasn't a popular choice as it is at a cooked food centre at Sheung Wan but I really stood my ground and won! Yay!

This is not an everyday place that a tourist would know and it is an open secret to the local and expats.

Dai bai dong style.

Maybe cos I like everything old school and believe in paying for quality food more than ambience.

You will find that they have a very laidback environment yet the service is impeccable and most importantly they serve great food. I guess Malaysians and Singaporeans can appreciate that but J just wasn't convinced.

The food is expensive for such location but for what it was and the quality, it is very reasonable.

J ordered the foie gras for his starter. Poli and I did not as we had cocktails before and didn't want to ruin our appetite for our mains.

I was busy talking and didn't take any photo of his starter but he really liked it. Yes! *do victory dance*

The suckling roast pig was what Poli ordered. I highly recommend this after trying it during my last visit. Because the chefs are Chinese, and Chinese people really know how to roast their pigs, it was done perfectly. Poli said it was juicy and tender.

J and I ordered the steak with bone marrow.

The last time we ordered this at Bistecca it cost us around HKD1500++ and it tasted like poo.

This, was cooked to perfection. Very fresh and tasty. They also got the temperature right for the beef.

So. Much. Yum.

We ended our meal with the apple and rhubarb pie.

It was such a great day today. Very pleased that we went and did whatever we planned to do.

I'm that much closer to finish my list of places to eat before we leave #HongKong.

Hong Kong: Charlie Brown Cafe, Tsim Sha Tsui

What a tiring but fruitful day yesterday. We went for dim sum brunch at Ritz Carlton, Kowloon and then to Charlie Brown Cafe at TST and then to Cheung Chau for dinner.

Since I will be leaving soon I pushed myself to do it all and say yes to everything. I'm usually lazy and prefer to chill at home.

Steph, the motivator for me to see and do more.

I think today I will write about Charlie Brown Cafe since this is a short post before I get ready to prepare for dinner tonight. We are having a seafood feast.

I saw the cafe when J and I was finding our way to the MTR station at TST and I thought it would be a good place to bring my guest.

A tiny entrance. Make your way to the cafe upstairs.

Stuff you will see on the way up.

I love novelty/tourist traps!

And then more!

It was truly a place to take photos. We didn't expect that it will be so cute. I only wanted coffee and got more than I asked for.

Whee! Cakes, merchandise and coffee.

Super cute!

There were more local people than tourist dining there and the food looked good. We had brunch before that so we only tried their coffee and cake.

Americano and the Charlie Brown Latte mousse cake.

Us indulging in the better-than-expected novelty dessert and coffee.

Try finding this when you get there. See if you will spot it!

Okay, have a good evening ahead everyone!

Self-service cafe.

HK 3D Museum at Tsim Sha Tsui

Brace yourself for some real cheesy photos!

 

I took for granted that I'd always be in HK and took my time to go to places but during our final months in HK, I pretty much rushed/guilt Jesse into taking me to places.

 

3D Museum was all the rage then, so we decided to check it out. This is really more of a photo post rather than a descriptive one.

 

Was it worth it? Sure.

 

If you are visiting, you have to be ready to be patient as there would be queues for every single exhibition and photo opportunities. Unless of course, you go on a weekday.

 

After seeing all my photos, you probably know what to expect anyway.
