Food I Had in Hong Kong

Jumbo Japan Sea Scallops Sushi. The scallops are super fresh and sweet.

This is the traditional Hong Kong style breakfast. Noodles, Steam Rice Noodles (Cheung Fun) with Chinese BBQ Pork (Char Siu) and Plain Rice Noodles (Cheung Fun) with soy and sesame sauce.

Steamed Fish Head with Chinese Herbs! Super Yummy! This is my favorite! I grew up eating steamed fish head and even my cousin remembers it. He specially ordered this for me when we were having Dim Sim in a tea house restaurant. How sweet of him! By the way, did you see the eye?

Chinese Dim Sum and my Jumbo Seafood Dumpling with Seafood Broth. How I miss the food in Hong Kong!

Here are something Western! As you know that I am a seafood freak, I can't go to Hong Kong without loading myself with seafood. I had a seafood buffet dinner with my nephew, my brother and a couple of our friends. I had my favorite fresh oysters, smoked salmon, etc.

This one is the Japanese BBQ Squid Balls. I couldn't get enough of it.

This one is the Hong Kong style pizza from Pizza Hut. It is called the "Sausages Bites Pizza". I didn't have a chance to try it but I will try to make it at home. The pizza looks so yummy in the picture.

These few pictures are the Shanghai Style Chinese Food. Pork Chop Fried Rice, Steamed Soup Dumplings with Crabs, Plain Steamed Soup Dumplings (Siu Lung Bao), and Hot and Spicy Soup. It was so worth waiting in line for an hour for this incredible food. Thanks Zoe (my sister) for taking me to this great restaurant.

Sushi again! Yes, I had sushi a few times during my five days trip in Hong Kong. This restaurant, Monster Sushi, is a new sushi restaurant in Mong Kok. And the owner is the famous handsome actor, Daniel Wu. Everything I had over there was great, and the price was very reasonable. The only thing that disappointed me was that I didn't see Daniel Wu in the restaurant. Oh well...
Will go there again for sure!

After having so many yummy food in Hong Kong, I really can not go back to the food and restaurants in Hawaii. Hong Kong has the best food in the world. The variety is unbelievable, and the taste and quality are amazing. One more great thing is that the price is cheap everywhere. I really want to move back right NOW!

My First Five Tiers Wedding Cake

I finally finished this "Giant Wedding Cake"!!! I score this cake 70 out of 100. This cake is the most difficult one I have ever made so far. The bottom cake is carrot cake with cream-cheese frosting, the next one is chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, the next one is lemon cream cake, then the next one is yellow cake with buttercream frosting, the top one is chocolate cake with chocolate frosting again. Since each frosting has different texture, it is hard to keep each tier in perfect shape. Plus, the hot and humid weather add some bad side effect to the fondant and frosting. Therefore, you can see in the picture that the bottom two cakes are kinda funny looking. Oh well... I had tried my very best. I am glad that the people in the wedding think this cake is beautiful and love the flavors of the cakes. I learned a great lesson from making this cake.

If I would have another opportunity to make a huge cake like this one in the future, I would definitely do better, much better.

Wedding Cake for JK and Mandy Kung

Congratulations to Mandy and JK Kung!!!! It was my honor and pleasure to make this cake for them. This cake is a Chocolate and Chocolate Mousse Cake.

Turtle Cakes!

Here is another fondant cake I made today. I actually made two cakes with the same turtle designs, one cake was 8 inches and another one was 10 inches. The inside of both cakes was chocolate cake with vanilla whipped cream frosting. I cut all the turtles with a craving knife since there is no cookies cutter has that particular turtle design. Glad that the turtles and the cakes turned out great!

Yard Animals Cake

This cake is for Joseph who turn 3 today. He loves to play outside and that's why I made a yard cake for him. By the way, the date of the pictures is wrong. I just got a new camera and I forgot to set the right date and time. :) The date should be June 9, 2008.
