un complete entry
Just got back from my holiday in HongKong, wow a week off passes just like a few blinks…During this stay I didn’t make any side tirps but meeting up with friends eat, drink and gossips……however the very first thing they saw me was questioning what I was not wearing a face mask since I was back from Vancouver which is also one of the H1N1 flu infected cities in North America,, and each time I have to tell them because I was not infected and in NA it is suggested that those who’re not feeling well to wear masks aim to stop spreading any kinds of germs or virus….and If I were that panic I would have not only wearing mask but with a surgical goggles, cos the virus can catch us through our eyes…..
Anyway been to a couple of new places for food this time… mostly western style food..
Had burger at the Absolute Burger which is located at a shopping mall in CWB called DeLayNoMore, if you know Cantonese you will know how it sounds and the meaning…..back to the burger though I apprecaited they were prepared once you place your order, the taste was quite ordinary, and with the severe competition with Burgers all over HongKong…. I guess they have to work harder on their business..
Chicken Burger and a Deluxe Burger set with mushrooms fries
Then a Sunday brunch at The Pawn Wanchai, serving English food, a Restaurant located inside a historic building which used to be a Pawn Shop…..though the price is a bit steep the quality and quantity are good provided you like the simple and wholesome style of english food with a decent serivce
Mushroom with Truffle Butter
Spinach Salad
Roast of the day
Steam Choco pudding
Another afternoon tea at the Harlan’s a place says giving you the Fine Dining Experience, my verdict: is while the food is at the high quality the service is appalling, which as a whole I couldn’t feel the Fine Dining Experience as they claim….. The servers have no Fine Dining Etiquette, as simple as placing the cutlerly, side plates or tea set, they just do it on their own convience, and they have a kind of expression on their face that you shouldn’t ask too much question…and you can feel the coolness when they serve
Pizza tihe pepperoni and cheese and veggie
Molten Chocolate cake with Vanila ice-cream and a chocolate soup
and spotted this exhibition by a cake artist on the way to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

the dress picture was neat … I’m guessing that was all made of fondant? … truly amazing
@AppsScraps - those were really cool stuff…I didn’t pay attention to them till I spotted on the doggie one….
I’m behind in my comments… sorry.
The food, especially the mushrooms, roast and the desserts look very delicious. Too bad about the service. With so much competition, you would think that’s one of the things they need to work on.
@ElusiveWords - tks for ur comments I could only manage to complete my entry with the pics at my friends home yesterday anyway the service of the Harlan’s was really a surprise to me
