First of all, I don't know why people felt good at this place before, but our experience was very bad and upset. They shouted at us, called us 八婆, just because we tried to throw trashes to their trash bin, and it was the sticks we bought at their place. The food is below average. We bought 2 sticks, it was nothing amazing and too oily. Tasted bad. The service is too bad!! I want to warn people don't go there otherwise you will have a bad experience that affects your trip to the beautiful temple and wonderful Buddha sculptures. If you want to keep your trip a good one, DON'T GO TO THIS PLACE.

Pricing is a bit high compared to the US craft beer scene but that seems to be the norm for Asia (a 0.4L pour will set you back about $78 HKD aka $10 USD). Seating room is fairly small with seating for 12 max. Although I didn't see a food menu, the couple next to me ordered some pretty tasty looking food!

Seeing that my introduction to The Fine Wine Experience came from the very welcoming, very…read moreknowledgeable team member Francois Tran and also a very interesting wine tasting experience of discovering "2014 German Auction Rieslings"...clearly the bar has been set high on expectations of boutique wine shops. With their small retail front in Sheung Wan and extensive collection housed in their off-sight warehouse, on-line is actually the best way to see and research the wines they have for sale, about the expansive breath of talented staff on their team and also about the long list of events they promote and host. They have just a fraction of their overall wine stock for actual sale in their store, but Francoise could not have been more welcoming when we wandered in to find out what this shop was all about. In this retail location, along with what is for sale, we attended a wine tasting of rieslings. At a small cost of $400 per person (which is then credited back to you if you make a purchase at the tasting of at least $2000). Informative, informal, interesting, engaging, humorous. We had a lovely time and really enjoyed learning more about rieslings in the presence of about 15 or so other attendees. The discussion was held by Linden Wilke, with 20+ years of experience in the wine business. Although we were a touch out of our league in this group with our knowledge of rieslings specifically (truth be told, I am a Pinot drinker of countless years), we could not have been more welcomed and actively encouraged to talk and learn and discover. It was lovely! We look forward to exploring their website, popping in to ask questions and continuing to learn and discover wines of the world with the Fine Wine Experience as a partner in our education.

Cheaper drinks than the bars. Whats there not to like?…read more This is the most popular 7-eleven store on the Island in the evenings (also known as "Club Seven" but not to be confused with the "Hong Kong Sevens" in March). It's the supply of cheap liquor for half of Lan Kwai Fong (there's another one on the opposite side) - beware that water here is very expensive (you can tell that they want you to get booze), so if you need water go to the mannings nearby and get yourself a bottle for $5 rather than paying $16

As you hopping on High Street people watching while hunting for good eats, you will found yourself paused by the beautiful store front of Premier Cru. Through the French glass door, you can see and be astonished by the wall to wall collection of French red & white wines. Especially Burgundy & Northern Rhône. Feel free to ponder in this space, let the aroma of the mill work paints a picture of a wine cellar from France inside your head. It's like icing on the cake learning the wine originality and it's journey into the store through words from Mr. Bonno. Just like sniffing coffee beans at a parfumerie while choosing your favorite scents; Premier Cru have great selection of sausages, tarama, salami along with baguette to compliment the wine of your choice. At the back, an oasis awaits. A little secret garden for friends to spend time together enjoying their newly acquired wines. Come to retune your senses and mindfulness at the Premier Cru, I am sure you will enjoy the moment.

Wellcome is a Hong Kong chain of supermarkets that can be found all over the country. I saw their…read moresignage multiple times but didn't really know what it was until I stepped foot one afternoon to purchase some soft drinks. I asked one of my travel mates where to go as our hotel didn't have a convenience store and she advised me to come here. Staying at the City Garden Hotel, this Wellcome location came in very handy as it's just across the street. It's a little tricky as the store is inside from the outside entrance - - they share the entrance with another business. When glancing through this relatively small supermarket, they carry many food items, including raw ingredients. I was surprised they do carry some imported products from other countries on their shelves. It was fun checking out what the locals consume as I did notice some products that I grew up with, such as Cadbury, Horlicks and Ovaltine. Personally, I did find Wellcome to be cramped with many items on display with narrow aisles. I primarily came here for drinks and snacks so it met my needs. Octopus cards (prepaid smart cards) can be used during check out so it was very convenient. Traveling from country to country it was difficult at times with their currency system. When I obtained my Octopus card at 7-11,, I used it there. In addition to 7-11 stores, I could ride the MRT, bus and also use my Octopus card at Wellcome. If I were a resident of Hong Kong, Wellcome can be too small of a supermarket with limited selections. But if I lived in one of the many apartment buildings nearby, Wellcome is sufficient with grocery shopping without traveling far. Being such a small store, the number of staff is minimal with just 2 or 3 employees. My cashier wasn't number savvy as I was trying to use up all balance on my Octopus card. I informed her in Cantonese I was about to leave the country and would be paying the difference with HK dollars. She told me I didn't have enough on the card and therefore couldn't do my sale. Clearly I had purchased more with snacks to take home and consume on the plane. I had to repeat myself and this time the lightbulb went on and informed me the balance due after scanning my Octopus card. Overall, a great find near my hotel, as this store has a larger selection than what you find at a 7-11 or average convenience store.

Amidst a Hong Kong trip that was heavy on food stalls and classic cha chaan tengs, this dinner was exactly the break we wanted: a calm, polished family meal with a breath-taking Victoria Harbour view and true fine-dining service. The entire dinner was cooked, paced and served just right. Plates and silverware were refreshed between courses like clockwork; a nice change from restaurants where we have to bring our own napkins, wipe down the dishware, and share rickety tables with strangers. The pan-seared foie gras was sublime. Since it's illegal in California, we always order it when we see it on a menu out-of-state, and this iteration perfectly hit the spot for us. Guava-cured shima-aji was sliced thin with a clean, oceanic finish and citrus notes that helped clear the palate. Wagyu beef tartare was topped with a generous spoon of caviar, and each bite popped. Chestnut cream soup with black truffle and lobster was warm and silky, with a cozy, nutty base. Brioche-crusted sea bream was browned nicely with a gentle crunch on the outside. Thin black truffle slices added a musky, luxurious aroma. Wagyu bolognese over curly pasta was hearty and satisfying with generous portions of meat. Rack of lamb, seared hard for a browned crust and a juicy interior was clean and gamey in a good way. One of my favorite fine dining fun facts about Chilean sea bass came up. I rarely see it on the menu with its original name, but here it was: Patagonian toothfish. This was nicely steamed, snow-white and buttery, breaking apart in big clean flakes. The Challandais pigeon was roasted, and the meat was rosy and juicy. The deep, winey jus tasted like classic French sauce. Black truffle scrambled eggs, spoon-soft and custardy with a simple seasoning that let the egg quality shine. Bottom line: a very pleasant fine dining experience -- a great break from the beautiful chaos of Hong Kong's most authentic meals, while still feeling worth doing on a family trip.

I haven't had my fair share of Indian food in Hong Kong yet (compared to Jando's 19 Indian…read morerestaurants and counting), but I will say that thanks to Yelp HK, that number is going up in my books. AMAZING freshly-made dosas (shout-out to the chef making these in front of us, he's the man!) aloo tiki (potato pancakes), tandoori chicken, and SUBLIME mango lassi. Don't even get me started on the naan. When the servers came out with baskets of the garlic and Kashmiri (coconut) naan, everyone surrounded them, eager for a fresh hot bite! At the end of the event, we met the executive chef and after showering our praises over the delicious food, we kindly asked (with Kevin's help!) for some Kashmiri naan as some of us hadn't tried it yet. 5 minutes later, he brought it out to us, straight out of the oven! Thank you Jando for organizing yet another wonderful and successful Yelp event, with such a great turnout and great live music! Looking forward to returning to Tandoori Nights!

So for those who don't know, I'm a closet lover of Indian food. When people think about Indian…read morefood, they'd think about how spicy it is. But it's not about the spice, it's about the herbs. I was very excited to see a HK Yelp event at an authentic Indian restaurant. We had the whole place, plus traditional India music performance. Which the last time I saw something similar was literally in Mumbai. Food was amazing here. I regretted I didn't take more pictures but I will definitely come back. The naans were made to perfection. Not oily, not chewy, and they were so good alone without even the need of any curry/sauce on top. (It was so good I was cheeky enough to ask the chef if he could serve one extra dish by the end, see the pic!) Chicken tikka was great, and about 3 or 4 different appetizers served that I don't even remember the name (Maggie we are on the same boat), I was already full before I could get one more of those unlimited free beer! Ouch. Thanks Jando as always, #makeyelphkgreatagain. I'll definitely come back for more!
