This is how I started having hotpots at home, instead of spending loads of nice restaurants outside, I now go out and use the money to buy fresh and tasty food to enjoy at home. Leung Kau Kee is a butcher/ meat supplier on the second floor of the Taipo wet market. Its a relatively organized operation compared to the others with prepacked portions of meat everywhere; all stored in freezer cabinets or open air freezers. I am one with an eye for beef and the beef they supply is legendary with customers coming in all the way from Kowloon just to stock up no their weekly shopping. I think this explains that I can't be the only one who thinks they are on to something here. The meat products offered are not limited to beef but lamb and also other products usually only available at high end stores. They have a specific focus on BBQ and hotpt so do be careful what you pick out as they may not be interceded for that purpose. The shop also stocks up on sauces and condiments for BBQ and hotpot so you won't be going home empty handed. Prices are what I would describe as fair for such great quality.

La Piola is an Italian restaurant and bar based at the end of Lyndhurst terrace. More specifically,…read moreit specialises in cuisine from Piedmont, a region in the North of Italy. The focus of La Piola is to introduce HK to the concept of Piedmont food and culture, and they do a pretty good job of it. The venue is very pleasant and welcoming. Of all the times I have been there, I think I have only ever eaten downstairs in the bar dining room, which is small, but with only a few tables, and opens out on to Lyndhurst Terrace. The upstairs dining room (which you pass through from downstairs en-route to the bathroom), is again small, and perhaps a little more "cosy". They do have an open kitchen, so you can see the chefs at work. The staff are wonderfully nice, and pretty efficient. They are certainly at the better end of the Hong kong service sector. So to the food, yummers! It is great, so tasty, and really well cooked, and very consistent (I'm starting to always have the same dish now!). I always have the agnolotti filled with castelmagno cheese, and cooked in a butter and sage sauce, all served in baked "parmigiano" basket. It's so cheesy! My only gripe is that the portions are small, and the cost a bit toppy for my liking. A small starter of burrata cheese and tomatoes is HKD170, and the agnolotti is HKD240, for a dish about the size of my fist. Yes, it's great food, but it's so pricey for what you get! By all means give it a go. Try and get a seat upstairs, as the bar noisy (especially on Friday night) can be a but irritating. And also give the wines a go, again pricey, but some very nice varieties.

Aside from the Ngau Lam Wich, try the Char Siu Pork Neck sandwiches- they're delicious!

The restaurant was full, and we could see several groups waiting outside for a table. The menu reads straightforwardly; basically what you see is what you get. Don't expect anything too fancy (and I'm not saying this in a bad way.) The dinner sets are fairly priced, and includes a salad, soup, garlic bread, main course, and tea/coffee. VIP guests can also get a dessert with their meal at no additional charge (although I'm not really sure how the VIP system works... you probably just have to spend a certain amount at the restaurant.) I had the sirloin steak, which was cooked to my requested doneness, with the meat tender and juicy. The timing of our meal was pretty good as well, with servers taking away empty dishes quickly, and wait time between courses was kept to a minimum. Would I go back again? Yes.

And yes, it does look and sound and altogether seem like a small town American frat boy's first pick/choice but what else are we to do honestly? Hong Kong is actually rather small. The places you want to eat are closed. Therefore this is really fine. Serve/squeeze your own sauces is fantastic and makes one feel empowered. Demolished the doner sandwiches pretty quickly. If there's anything to complain about, it's that they're a bit small for sloshed heavy midnight eaters.

Grand banquet hall!…read more Located underneath the grand famous building of Boy Scouts headquarters, this restaurant is a good choice for a wedding. I travelled to Hong Kong for my cousins' wedding. At first I was worried about the protests being disruptive, but it turned out that the protests are actually isolated in a different area, so we made it to this banquet hall with zero disruption The inside if the banquet hall is huge, with lots of tables and space for hosting guests. There are lots of separate rooms for playing mahjong. The staff are all very professional, re-filling out tea cups and wine glasses very frequently without us even asking. The tables are decorated very nicely. Very classy. The food is pretty good, with the usual steamed fish, crispy pork belly, abalone and seafood dishes. The dishes taste good. Outside the entrance, there is a huge fish tank with HUGE fishes. Overall, a great place to host important dinners!
