Hong Kong | A Foodie Travel Guide

in #food7 years ago (edited)

Dear Steemit Friends:

This is my very first post, and I am very excited to join this community. My name is Macaronlele- Yes, I love macarons ;) I am a foodie, a world traveler, and yes I am sweets addicted. I spent 9 years in the US and now in Beijing.

During the Spring Festival in 2018, I went to Hong Kong, a melting pot. Although Hong Kong is small, it has different cultures and different ethics of people. I believe food is always a part of the culture. Hong Kong has more than 10 thousand different restaurants, and the different regions have unique food features. Tongluowan is famous for the traditional Cantonese style food, Lan Kwai Fong has exotic seafood in Xigong, Tsim Sha Tsui, global delicacy, Shamshuipo snack. In Tongluowan, Central, Sheung Wan and Tsim Sha Tsui, the cost of living is high (for example, the McDonald's prices are different in these areas), however, the consumption of Mong Kok is relatively low. Let's take a look at my recommendation.

  1. NIKUSHOU

97adc0bb20be5ca1d182655c1d6bae3e-sz_135048.jpg

The best of Hongkong meat maker NIKUSHOU Japanese kaiseki + barbecue restaurant, Australian beef, Kumamoto black beef, Miyazaki beef, Kobe beef (after more than 14 months of finishing in Gifu County in black cattle). Light meat is certainly not enough to eat, seasonal dishes with Japanese chef Hayashi, plus 5 or 7 pieces of beef, bursting with happiness, plus black truffle. The owner Antonie is a real gentleman. He is strict with the source of goods, a black truffle from Alba, rice in Hokkaido, has worked with a number of Japanese beef suppliers. Listening to the explanation of, eating mouthwatering beef is absolutely a pleasure.
When making reservations, be sure to ask for the sashimi of the day, deep fried beef cutlet, and the beef tongue.
