Fancy Delight Egg Tarts

A friend gave us some egg tarts, taller than the normal size I had seen before. These are from a place called Fancy Delight. We got original, durian and double chocolate. I haven't tasted them yet because we constantly have too much food around. They look nice though.

Cafe, Hyatt Regency, Kowloon

I landed in Hongkong late in the afternoon and arrived at the hotel as the sun went down. A reservation at Cafe, has been made for me and DH. DH was so eager for me to try the lobsters they had. As well as other tempting food. Yes, it's a buffet style dinner. So dangerous but so loved. I love and hate it at the same time. I always want to try so many of them and end up eating more than I need and I could and should. Tough life! 

Lobsters and friends were waiting to be picked up. Food and desserts were mostly good. Macarons deserved special mention here, they were yummy. I was so stuffed by the end of our dinner. Expect weight gain and jeans will be so much tighter to wear.  

Sunday Dim Sum!

We went out for Dim Sum yesterday, I don't know why but I longed for it. We went to Vivocity and had no reservation anywhere, thinking that it should not be a problem to get a table for three over there. Of course we were wrong. The first place that DH wanted to dine in was Crystal Jade Dining In, and we were informed that we had to wait for around 45 minutes. I asked him to leave our phone number anyway. The second place we tried to go to was Tunglok Signature. There was a man (staff) on the table looking down at the appointment book and ignored us. I asked and he looked up to us and said that the place was fully booked. "The whole day?" "Yes!" Hhmmh... no wonder he was snobbish.

So we went to look again, there were so many restaurants there, it just happened the first two that we picked were booked. It's a bit unusual. We walked and walked and suddenly got a phone call from Crystal Jade, informing us that there's a table for us. We went there, and yes, there's a long table shared by a party of two men and another party of three adults and two little girls with runny nose.  We were seated in the middle. Beggars can't be choosy! We took it.

We had roast pork, the first picture above. Miss K who was full to begin with, ordered Egg Tarts (above) and Lo Mai Kai. We also had Char Siu Soe (below), which is  pastry filled with barbecued pork and Shao Mai. I guess, we were quite hungry, we ordered Fish with long beans and Penang Fried Kway Tiaw (see below) too. Thinking back, that's a lot of food for three people. one of whom ate so little because she was stuffed from late breakfast!

Egg Tarts...

I have not been an egg tart eater, my kids apparently are fond of them. After talking about it for so long, I finally made them at home. I looked at some recipes and watched a youtube video on making them and then decided which recipe to try. It was a simple process. To make it even easier, I used frozen pastry. I made 1/4 recipe only, it's six mini pastries altogether. I would use the same recipe again, the one from the video. They are good!
