Lab Made Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream Laboratory – Hong Kong

Posted on November 15, 2012 | Leave a comment

After dinner at Daruma, we walked around Tai Hang looking for some dessert. There’s quite a few dessert places but we chose Nitrogen Ice – Cream because of its foodie science geekiness!

It really is a gimmic… using nitrogen to make ice-cream.. nothing new there….we used to do this in high school science labs!

Please excuse my blurry photo.. I was too excited to try the mooncake ice-cream! It actually tastes like mooncake and wasn’t too sweet. Weirdly, after a few bites, I can taste a bit of bitterness…..

At $44, it’s a tad too expensive for some designer ice-cream!

FAIM? OUI OUI!!!

Daruma Ramen House 達磨日式拉麵 – Hong Kong

We went to Tai Hang for dinner at Man Sing (cause my friends haven’t tried the amazing beef patty tower) but it was under renovation 😦

I immediately went on Openrice and found Daruma Ramen House, which was ranked #2 in Tai Hang.

From all the magazine articles and celebrity autographs on the wall tiles, this must be a pretty famous ramen place!

I ordered the R7 (original non-spicy pork bone ramen)…. Portion-wise, this was on the smaller side.. with only 1 piece of meat and not a lot of noodles. On the plus side, the soup is extremely tasty and the ramen comes with an half boiled egg!

FAIM? OUI OUI!!!

Man Sing Cafe 民聲冰室 – Hong Kong

Posted on July 21, 2012 | 2 comments

My brother and I met up with my foodie aunt for dinner in Causeway Bay and she then surprised me with our dinner plans: dinner in Tai Hang! Tai Hang, nestled between Causeway/Tin Hau/Happy Valley, is becoming a hipster district with a lot of food places.. I’ve been wanting to go but it seems so out of the way!

We had dinner Man Sing Cafe 民聲冰室, an old-school restaurant that is frequently visited by local celebrities (as evidenced by walls taped with celebrity photos). Thank goodness we went early because the cafe only has 3 tables inside and there was already a small lineup at 6:30pm!

steamed pork patty tower topped with salt-cured egg… My mom makes one of the best steamed meat patties but this tops it! The meat texture is the same.. but this version has the best sauce!
