  1. You went to Chuk Yuen and you didn't get the cheese lobster?!?!?! Perhaps the TST location of Chuk Yuen is catered more for tourists, however the Happy Valley location that I MUST visit whenever I go back to HK is definitely filled with locals. The cheese lobster is definitely the best lobster dish in the world for me. There is nothing like it anywhere else. They do the sauce to perfection. Rich, creamy and exteremly addictive. I am not a big fan of Sharks Fin soup, however they seem to do it really well at Chuk Yuen, definitely a must order for me whenver I visit. We also ordered some Mantis Shrimp (aka Pissing Shrimp) with fried garlic. You can't go to a chinese seafood restaurant without ordering the steamed grouper.... I'm not a fan of geoduck, but I was told it was excellent as well And just to mix things up a bit, Seafood Claypot Rice and some Satay Beef (which is done really well, especially for a seafood restaurant). And to end every chinese meal, the complimentary dessert. Red Bean Soup and Do Hu Hua. As I stated before, Chuk Yuen is always a must for me whenever I go back to HK. The cheese lobster is worth the plane ticket to Hong Kong alone...
  2. great thanks! Looking forward to your pictures! Hope you can upload your pics here as opposed to facebook
  3. thanks for all the pics canuckle head, hope you can post some more pics! and hope you take lots of pics from your Japan trip as well! Thanks!
  4. thanks for the update aprilmei! When I used to live in HK, I used to visit the Citic Tower location for dim sum and usually the Sun Hung Kai location for dinner, it just worked out that way for my family for some reason... Someone on another forum mentioned the head chef for Victoria Harbour went to a different restaurant...have you heard anything about this? I will hopefully be headed back to HK this feb/march. Can't wait for my trip!
  5. oh I can't believe you went to Victoria Harbour! This is a must visit for me every time I go back to HK. How much was the crab meat XLB? $30HK for one? Unfortunately for me, ast time I went they didn't have it! Which location did you go to?
  6. Thanks for the reply! You are certainly do a wonderful job with the camera you have! The pictures are more then presentable! Thanks for the tips! Do you ever feel timid when taking pictures of food?Especially at 'fine dining' or 'starred' restaurants?. When my girlfriend and I went to Joel Robouchon (mansion) on our last trip to Vegas, we really wanted to take pictures of the food (once in a life time experience!) but definitely chickened out especially with all the people watching you... Its okay though, that meal was so amazing that it is ALWAYS in our minds, would've been nice to take pics of the food however! On our last 'nice' meal we were at Michael Mina in SF and had no problems taking pictures (well to be honest my girlfriend took the pictures) but the server was definitely very nice and accomadating (when he was serving the lobster pot pie he even waited for her so she could get a good shot at times). Even though she was the one snaping the shots, I still felt a little cowardly. I guess its just something I need to overcome? Have you ever had any looks or reaction from workers at the restaurant? Or do you tend not to care at all? I'm especially curious about your experiences in Europe, you have some amazing pics from there.. Keep up the good work!
  7. BryanZ this is an amazing thread, thank you for sharing. I wish I was as talented as you in writing amazing descriptions and posts. What camera were you using for the pictures?

  10. if you're in macau ah leung I strongly recommend the dim sum restaurant at the lisboa hotel. it is a little more expensive however is well worth the money imo.
