M&C Duck 美中鴨子 - Chic Peking Duck

Partly curious about the food and partly appealed by its fame, 美中鴨子 M&C Duck at Harbour City turned out to be a nice choice for a girls dinner.

Forgive my superficialness for being easily impressed by nice looking food :P The sliced pork in garlic and chili sauce (蒜泥白肉) was one of them~ and the taste was stimulating too. Every slice was a perfect combination of thin sliced pork and cucumber, crispy garlic and subtle spiciness. I like the efforts they put in the presentation~ it's already appetizing by the look :)

Their famous Peking duck was okay, with light-flavored and lean duck meat, which was good. Probably a bit more seasoning of the skin would be better.

 <-- comes with a duck bone broth

Duck slice with osmanthus pudding (桂花糕凍伴鴨件) was a fun dish~ can't say the two ingredients match very well but not bad to experiment. Let me further explain the anatomy for better judgement - duck skin + mayo + cucumber + osmanthus pudding + Pringles chip --- like it or not it's totally subjective :P

Chicken thick soup with vegetable（翡翠雞茸羹）- delicious soup with flavorful chicken broth, don't remember tasting any vegetable, probably it refers to the splash of green soup on top? 

Also had xiao long bao and minced beef cake~ not bad

老點點心竹筒飯 - A local Chinese dim sum place with extraordinary creativity

I was casually looking for a lunch place in MK and this dim sum resto caught my attention.  老點點心竹筒飯 has a funny name as "老點" in HK layman slang means "misguiding", the owner must be either very confident or very humorous to have named the restaurant this way :P

I did get to try some creative dim sums at 老點, no misguidance if you follow their recommendations haha! The food was okay not bad but you should expect more fun than delicious if you plan to eat in there~

Here are some dim sums I tried -

炸蝦小漢堡- the deep fried shrimp mini burgers are interesting with wasabi mayonnaise, the buns are pretty good too

海蝦肉餅竹筒飯- It tastes just like any other 盅飯...but it has red rice mixed in which adds a 'plus' to a 'B'

黑松露上素水晶球- could barely taste the truffle, not bad but just didn't meet with expectation

脆皮麥心小煎堆(麥提莎煎堆)- to be honest it's quite impressive to have the whole piece of Maltesers enclosed in a nicely done 煎堆, tho the taste of Maltesers doesn't go too well with its crust. It would be lovely if it's with custard stuffing :)

鮮上肉響鈴腸- forgive me I am a fan of 響鈴 so I'd say it's undoubtedly better than 炸兩~

Lin Heung Tea House - Rocking Lotus Bun in Hong Kong

Yum Cha during lunch hour sounds like a group thing - but not at Lin Heung Tea House, where you don't look odd at all sitting along with strangers at the same table, eating lotus seed bun and drinking tea in traditional cup, all alone :p
