Oct 2010…..
Fall eating in Hong Kong and Vancouver….
Fat Angelo’s American-Italian, what a disappointment, after so many years revisit this chain restaurant’s Casueway Bay branch, I found the quality of food is really….sad…
complimentary green salad and bread basket, a Creamed Spinach, which actually looks like spinach soaking in a light creme soup and taseles…….
Wild Mushroom and Truffle Risotto, oh the aroma of the truffle is very weak…..
Rosemary Roasted Chicken, a bit dry in texture….
Negative Space at Richmond Canada, A taiwanese chef cooking dishes influenced by his cantonese wife…
Stir-fried beef with zuchini, Deep fried Tofu
Chilli Mutton, Deep friend prawns
Fried rice with Clams and Salmon Roe, steamed Winter Melon in Dark Soy Sauce…
Grilled ox-tongue
Dessert at Berry Good Richmond Canada which is a samll cake cafe run by a Japanese lady.
Strawberries Cake, Noir(Chocolate/Creme) cake, and the most delecious of the night, Green Tea Chiffon Cake
Tea at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Central Hong Kong – Cafe Causette , (my late fater used to work as a Pianist at the Mandarin Grill of cos it looks totally different after 25 years)
The food is marginally accetable however I was a bit shock with the service I have received on this afternoon, lack of staff, and they also have the usual working attitude of restaurant servers all over Hong Kong, they rather gather and gossip among themselves( though they are well trained the serving etiquette ) rather than looking after thier guests, it’s just so difficult to get their attention to refill my tea pot……. I find this award winning team is nothing better than those one who serve me at Tsui Wah…How Sad!
Quite a decent Tea…..
The Scone is still good…
what a scary decor…..it’s edible, but I didn’t cos I didn’t want to dream abou them at night…..
Lunch at this World Peace Cafe at Wan Chai, basically a vegeterian cafe….
Set lunch at about HKD200 dollars with a soup, entree and drink…
Flat bread with grilled vegetable and veggie processed meat, Brown rice with vegetable in pumpkin sauce( or again….soup?)
quite tasty however I eventualy felt hungry again after around 2 hrs……..
A friend’s Birthday Brunch at Fleuri – Sutton Place Hotel Vancouver a brunch buffet at about CAD40(including tax). Food is quite ordinary as you can find it anywhere in North America
oh they do have Dim Sum selection, , Har Qaw, Shui Mai, and the third one, with the tail of the prawn but don’t know the name….

That spinach looks so sad.
The rest of the food looks decent enough. The idea of an edible picture is kind of spooky, though.
The food at Fat Angelo’s is not attractive at all, especially that spinach dish. Nostalgic ‘edible photos’ attached on food? What a foodie ‘faux pas’!
I guess you have to work hard at the gym to burn off all those calories, right?
