Hong Kong Fried Carrot cake with XO sauce.
A nice and tasty dish for a starter although the chili pepper flakes can be quite fiery.
Then the Chef's recommendations which is Famous HK Baked Rice became our main selected dish. This HK Baked Rice is very popular in Hongkong because it's a mix of oriental and western taste of Hongkong metropolitan.
Chicken Chop Mushroom Cream Sauce Baked Rice - Rp. 32.500
My choice is HKC Special Baked Rice (Seafood with cream sauce and Chicken with fresh tomato sauce) - Rp. 39.500.
It's delicious, satisfying and also great that I can have 2 kind of sauces on my baked rice.

ReplyDeletelooks damn awesome!
ReplyDeletebabe_kl: Yes, a big influx actually :) Anyway it's good because more varieties.

This all looks very interesting. I like rice casseroles and pilafs, so I would probably enjoy baked rice a lot.
ReplyDelete...Fried carrot cake? Is it sweet, like American carrot cake?
mica: the Hong Kong fried carrot cake tasted completely different than the American carrot cake. You gotta give a try if you can find it in Chinese restaurant, it's delicious.. but don't expect it as a cake ;)

ReplyDeleteIron man 2! I watched that 2 weeks ago. But still prefer part 1 cos more action....hehe. I wonder if they hv polo buns here too. One of the most significant hk snacks for me. :)
ReplyDeletefood for tots: Yes, the 20 minutes standing with grumbling stomach was worth, hehehe... Let me know what you think of it.
ReplyDeletehairyberry: Polo buns? Never heard of it, I must find and give it a try! :)
