So I got back from Hong Kong earlier this week, I have posted aboput my lunch at Lung King Heen here on my blog http://beirutibrit.wordpress.com/2012/12/16/lung-king-heen-foureasons-hotel-hong-kong/http://beirutibrit.wordpress.com/2012/12/16/lung-king-heen-foureasons-hotel-hong-kong/ and will continue to update it as and when i can get around to it. Lunch was absolutely outstanding, food and service were just outstanding and I was so glad I went. I also made to Tsim Chai Kee for breakfast noodle wonton soup which was also excellent, Wellington St not only boasts them, Maks noodles across the

Thanks YSL, Tsim chai kee and maks sound great- I shall enjoy comparing!

Thanks all!

Thanks annachan - lung king heen and lau sum kee sound great!

I am heading to hong king in a few weeks for a long weekend of exploring and eating and was hoping for some recommendations on where I should eat. I'm looking at local food, cheap to mid range and would be very grateful for any advice...

Wow norm! Looks delicious!!!

When living in India we had essentially the same considerations - a brilliant indicator of safety when choosing a dosa joint. now i know - will remember this for future reference!! great blog!!

I really liked Artie's http://www.arties.com/ when we visited last a few years back. Couldn't speak to its authenticity but we had a good meal and a lot of fun at Zabars (which is across the road) later

I saw this on tv the other day and it looked so delicious and pretty easy to do, also a bit different...... http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/ultimate-beef-braciole-recipe/index.html

Welcome back! Loving the new blog so far!

Thanks liuzhou - yes I'm here in singapore and know there are a huge array of noodle dishes and wouldn't imagine they'd give the recipe out - fun to see them though. What sort of noodles do you cook at home?

I chop them up with tomatoes, red onion, cucumber and coriander and stuff into pita bread with pan fried halloumi - and as per post before this, I stuff them with feta

Maybe people could share their favorite noodle recipes from whichever region of china/ the world they are from.... Granted "noodles" is a big topic and I'm sure complex to address but I for one would be keen to see what you all recommend...,

I sent my mum and dad there with friends for a post theatre meal recently as I have heard good things about it. She said the atmosphere was excellent, bustling and lively even at 11pm still and spoke very highly of the fish soup and a seabream main course she had served with fennel and sauce vierge. Sounds like a good spot for pre/post theatre dining

hey alder1, you should be able to find zatar in Uk quite easily now - its a Middle eastern herb blend, mostly dried tyme, oregano and sesame amongst others. have a feeling I saw it in Waitrose when i was last back - if you are near london teh spice shop in notting hill sells it and I am pretty sure you can order from them online too

I wasn't getting you wrong, but its a matter of perception. They THINK having cheese will be too much when there's dessert to follow. Wouldn't have been my personal choice, I'd choose cheese every time. One, however, must honor one's guests preferences. I may be a cheesehead, but not all of my friends are. Also, I think they get a bit blase around here as the great cheeses are always available. To make it up I'll do a few cheese posts in the near future. Thanks, I always reckon the the food is merely lubrication for good conversation. That's what happened yesterday. The wines were local. They

I'd cook a nice piece of fish with it and make the israeli couscous into a sort of tabbouleh with lots of parsley, mint, chopped tomato, onion and lemon juice and tehn serve with tahina over the top of the fish

Hassouni - i juest remembered there was a place in the souks that did great tandoor bread and food, cant remember the name but its just outside the souk, in a row of small restaurants with a picture of a tandoor on the sign (wow even worse directions than in beirut! Thats a first)

check out local blogger lady ironchef for his list of the best local places to eat too

oh gosh where to start? Blue Ginger - Peranaken food at its best Chilli Padi - again great peranaken food in joo chiat, a bit off the beaten track but delicious local food Newton Circus hawker centre - locals complain its touristy but its great, open 24 hours and open air - seafood specialities. Lau pasat - at night for the satay stalls in the street behind the hawker centre maxwell road hawker centre - hainanese chicken from tian tian - very good and you will queue for around 3045 minutes at lunch but its worth it for sure. Din tai fung (ok this is tawainese dim sum but i love it) Those woul

Cave76 - will do our best - I am in singapore at the moent but am hoping Hassouni will update us when he gets back, im so jealous! Check out the foodblogs on the food traditions and cultures pages - from all over the world and incredibly interesting :-) happy reading and thanks

Loving the blog Franci - everything looks great, its interesting to see a slice of Monaco too. Glad you are feeling better!

Really looking forward to this Franci! Have a great week!

Ishpingo? What does that taste like? Delicious looking recipe too!

I am a huge fan of dos hermanos bloggers and this is their recipe - haven't tried it myself but looks pretty good.... http://www.doshermanos.co.uk/2011/08/chicken-korma-princely-dish-of-persia.html?m=1
