We heard about this hotel, Upperhouse,  nearby ours so we were curious to see it, so Mom reserved at the restaurant there

Beautiful and modern interiors

Another new restaurant we tried at the IFC mall.  Good cantonese food and nice presentation! Mom does all the ordering so she describes the dish and sometimes I cannot find it in the menu 🙂

Braised Abalone on Mushroom and vegetable

Sauteed Scallops braised with Crab Coral 

I can’t find this in the menu but this had foie gras inside  

Deep Fried Crispy Chicken 

I can’t find the name of the dish on the menu, but this is baked chicken with walnuts  

Wagyu beef cube pan fried and flavored with sea salt

Another new restaurant to try.  Owned by the Shanghai Tang group.  It’s in a building, The Galleria, beside Landmark.  The surrounding shops in the building are not that nice ( except for the Ground level/street level shops ) but the restaurant is

Love the antique teapot and sauce containers

Jaime’s regular orders – siomai and hakaw- these normally have no presentation 🙂

Siomai

Steamed Scallop and Pork Dumpling  

Deep fried wonton with Four Treasures in sweet and sour sauce

Fried Rice Braised with Wild mushroom and diced chicken- a very different kind of chinese rice- sort of like their version of Italian Risotto because it was quite wet- nice to try something different  

Really good peking duck and roast goose.  We wanted to order more goose but they ran out of it

1 pc. Abalone dumpling…just one 🙂

Steamed Spanner Crab meat and Egg White Dumplings

Baked puff pastries with Wagyu beef in Teriyaki sauce

Baked Barbeque pork buns in pineapple shape – just like siopao but baked

Fried Rice with Sliced Eel and turnip in Teriyaki Sauce- YUMMY!

The only place we went to that is not new 🙂   Convenient and good chinese food!

Dad and Mom were happy to see Joyce Leung, the Operations Manager of the restaurant.  They knew her since many, many, many years ago even when Mom was still single and going there with Lolo and Lola.  Now I wonder how the three of them all still look so young! 🙂 Since Joyce was there, she helped with the ordering and took care of everything else.  What a world of difference when she is there

Stuffed Fried Crab with onion – this is not in the menu 

Drunken shrimps! WOW!!! THE BEST!!! 

Wintermelon soup 

Pigeon 

One of the best sweet and sour pork  

Fresh Lychees already starting to be in season 

Chilled mango and pomelo sago

Heart2Heart is happy to try and try and always try NEW things!  It’s a good thing this trip Mom decided to try new things because normally in Hong Kong we go back to all our favorites!!!  Mom is our researcher and this is her guidebook for this trip…….

……..and she does all the planning for us, what would we do without her?

We tried this new place owned by the Maxim’s group.  Heart2Heart loves to see nice food presented in many different ways…so even if we order more or less the same dish all the time, it’s nice to see it served in a different way

Photos on the menu really entice us to order!!!

though they don’t normally always look the same in person 🙂  but taste was good!

Cute the rice cover 🙂 I just had to take a photo
