Hong Kong Restaurants - Great Authentic Eateries in Asia's World City

Hong Kong is known for its thousands of small authentic restaurants, where you can indulge in delicious Chinese food without having to dig too deep into your pocket. But finding a really good eatery in this jungle of Chinese neon signs can be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

This article will introduce you to seven of the best authentic restaurants and Dim-sum eateries on Hong Kong Island.



Lin Heung Tea House - The best known of them all, has been around for God knows how many years and is still as popular as ever... Conveniently located on Wellington Street, right between Central and SoHo, the ambience at this good old establishment reflects the true spirit of Hong Kong: Noisy and bustling, yet homey and welcoming... Great dim-sums and other "yum cha" delicacies are the main draw, and the place is open from as early as 6am till as late as 11pm.

Mak's Noodle Limited is another Wellington Street icon... Best known for its Won Ton Noodle, which some say is the best in Hong Kong, this humble eatery doesn't have much in the way of decor, but the place is tidy enough, the food is great (although the portions are slightly small) and the prices are not too bad...

Tsim Chai (Jim chai) Noodle, also on Wellington Street, is Mak's mythological competitor... This humble Cantonese food joint draws people from far and wide for its Wonton noodle soup, that comes with large and plumpy wonton dumplings, full with shrimps... Quite expectedly, there's nothing much here in the way of glitz and glamour, but the food is great and the prices are very moderate... So who can ask for anything more?

Kau Kee Noodles - Tucked on tiny Gough Street, just a minute stroll from the SoHo, humble Kau Kee Noodles has made a name for itself as a Hong Kong culinary emblem, after serving some of the best Beef Brisket in town for the last who knows how many years... You can have your Beef Brisket in a plain meaty broth or in a curry broth, and it comes with or without noodles (their noodles are really nice though, so maybe you should give them a try...) Almost needless to say, it's just a small corner shop, so do not expect any "romantic ambience"... Lunchtime queue can be a pain, so try to come later if you can.

Prawn noodle shop in Wanchai specializes in Singaporean-Malaysian Prawn noodle soup. Their menu has 3 different types of soup-base: Spicy prawn, Spicy curry laksa and Pork with chicken... After deciding which soup-base are you going for, you can "beef it up" with extras like: seafood, prawns, chicken, fishball, meatball, squid ball, fish cake, bean curd, and what have you... The place is very busy, so maybe you should try to avoid lunchtime.

Chee Kee is a Causeway Bay institution, particularly known for its Beef brisket noodle in soup and Wonton with noodle in soup. The menu doesn't have a great variety to choose from, but whatever is there, is likely to be good.Located on Percival Street in Causeway Bay (Can be accessed via exit A of MTR Causeway Bay), Open from before lunch until almost midnight

Ho Hung Kee, also in Causeway Bay, is known to have some of the most authentic wonton noodles in Hong Kong. In addition to its outstanding Wonton with noodles in soup, the restaurant serves other authentic Cantonese favorites, such as Shredded pork noodle, Beef chow fun (a Cantonese dish of stir-fry beef with wide rice-noodles and bean sprouts), Ee Fu Noodles and some scrumptious Congees. Located on 2 Sharp Street East in Causeway Bay, just a heartbeat from Lee Theatre Plaza. Open daily, from before lunch to almost 11pm

Top 10 Restaurants to Dine at When Visiting New York - Written by a New Yorker

Usually out of towners when they think of New York dining, they think of very lavish, expensive food with interior décor designed by well known star-chitects with even more well known celebrity chef's endorsing the restaurant name.  While those restaurants (Olive, Spice Market, or all the Jean Georges for that matter) are fantastic restaurants- they should be, because outrageous sums of money are dedicated to their marketing, and management team, where the taste, quality of food is just one of the important factor in the well oiled machine that is the culinary food experience.  However, I want to highlight some of my favorite restaurants that are all a bit under the radar, and should be on your list of restaurants to hit if you are visiting from out of town.

Incidentally, in case you're wondering, I have been living in New York for 7 years, and have tried lots of local cuisine from Asia to Africa, so I do have a palette that enjoys and recognizes ethnic foods. I should also mention that I eat out pretty regularly, about 5 times a week, but I am not in the restaurant biz, nor endorsing any particular restaurant.  Just my faves, since great food/ experiences are meant to be shared!

Below is the list of restaurants that I will actually leave my neighborhood on the UWS to dine at- and repeatedly dine at:

1.    Casa Mono- Tapas-

Incredibly small space- but they do have a sister wine bar next door called Bar Jamon that allows you to sip on excellent Riojas while you wait.  This is also a really smart business tactic, so they never really lose customers to long waits.  The food is really based on Catalan style tapas, and not the northern Pinxchos variety, and it is more "done up" than you're typical run of the mill tapas bar that serve tortillas (Spanish omelets loaded in butter and potatoes) and croquettes. They serve a mean razor clam dish, and braised short rib.  Although I'm not a fan of sweet bread (that would be brain...) it's pretty darn good from what I've heard.  Décor is simple, dark woods, and ambiance is dark and cozy.

2.    Sakagura- Japanese/ Sake Bar

A completely random location in the basement in midtown east, but if you're looking for the best braised pork belly, authentic yet exquisite Japanese street food and sake served the way it should be (not in a box, but iced in a traditional hollowed out glass server) this is where you should try.  It is in the basement of an office building, but if you go around late April, early May, it is filled with actual cherry blossoms attached to each column.  Sensational!  There is no sushi there- only prepared cooked food, and no, you won't find any chicken teriyaki there either.  The miso eggplant and green tea truffles are to die for.

3.    Bon Chon Chicken- Fried Chicken/ Korean-

More of a late night spot, this K-town bar/ restaurant is located on Fifth right off 32nd, and has a seedy looking entrance with a random red velvet rope to go upstairs.  Twice I have gone and it has smelled like baby powder, but if you can get past that disconcerting smell- once you taste the fried chicken, you will never have fried chicken anywhere else.  Deep fried in olive oil, there are two flavors- garlic and garlic.  Go with either one =)  And get the spicy ones.  They also have popcorn made with cayenne pepper and raisins- bizarre combination, but really tasty.  Beer is served by the pitcher.  Other Korean food available too- but if you're just looking for K-food- there's more options right around the corner.  Here's fried chicken at its best.  Incidentally, lots of non-Koreans frequent this spot as well.

4.    Bobo- Pan- American cuisine-

Bobo stands for bohemian bourgeoisie- it is hidden downstairs on the corner of 10th street and 7th Ave, and once you enter, you'll feel that you're in someone's townhouse that you secretly wished you lived in.  I really go there because the ambiance is so spectacular which almost discredits the excellent menu there, but the décor is to die for.  Bookshelves lined with vintage books- crusty chandeliers, and a staircase clad in plaid and wool.  Very chic yet intimate.  In the summer, the outdoor garden opens up and is a real treat to out outside (sans tents).  Get the Wagyu sirloin or the seared sea scallops.  Good date spot.

5.    Morimoto- Big Box Japanese

It's easy to dislike this meat-packing, cavernous, overly loud Japanese restaurant filled with wait staff trained on ex-banker expense accounts.  Owned by Iron Chef Morimoto- filled with beautiful people (on weekdays), it happens to be a cut above the other  "Nobu knock-off's" around the corner- Matsuri, Buddah bar, Buddahkan, Tao, or Asia de Cuba- really because Tadao Ando designed the interior.  Walking through the half semi circle door with massive flapping curtains makes you feel like you're entering into a time warp, but sensibly done.  The large bi-level open space is utilized well by frosted/ dotted glass partitions set on an angle to maximize user space, yet create semi-intimate dining areas.  The food is, well, spectacular.  Miso glazed cod, rock shrimp tempura are the staples.

6.    Fornino- Pizza

Trekking to Brooklyn for good pizza hardly seems worth it, though it seems that enough people do it for that other pizza place (Grimaldi's)- which is highly overrated owing to good PR and press.  Fornino's is located on Bedford Ave off 7th and they make the most killer truffle oil/ mushroom pizza.  For a closer slice (in Manhattan)- John's Pizzeria is pretty good and worth the hype, though on the wet side.  Another nod to good pizza is- Posto pizza in Murray Hill- though they recently kicked out Jimmy Fallon because he bad mouthed another establishment on Twitter with the same management- which is just really just bad for business. Every New Yorker loves Jimmy Fallon.

7.    Peter Lugar's Steakhouse- Steakhouse-

Anywhere where they mock you for asking for an espresso or cappuccino is legit in my book.  This place actually lives up to the hype, and isn't laden in butter like Ruth Chris or a hit/miss like Prime 112.  There are certainly lots of great places for a slab of juicy meat in the city, but I'm listing this place as a steak house because you come here only for steak, and really nothing else though there is fish on the menu.  In addition to their steak for share, they have the best key lime pie, and tomato salad (best when loaded with the Lugar steak sauce on top!)  It used to be only construction workers, and men in blue shirts that go, but nowadays if you can get a table, its worth making the trip to BK.  They only take cash, and yes, their own credit card- the Peter Lugar credit card. 

8.    Malatesta- Italian Trattoria

Located on the corner of Christopher and Washington, this small intimate Italian restaurant is completely no frills- and only takes cash.  The cool wait staff  all speak Italian, and they don't take reservations- partially because they know they'll fill their tables at any given night- and partially because they just really don't care about making anyone a priority no matter who you are.  (They once made Christy Turlington wait behind me- what?) Pasta is simple, home made, and the way it should be.  Get the Spinach Gorgonzola Gnocchi or the rack of baby lamb.

9.    Ippudo- Japanese Ramen, cooked food

In the heels of Momofuku Noodle Shop, and Sobaya, comes this new ramen hot spot, Ippudo in the East Village.  As much as I love David Chang's usage of Berkshire pork in everything- his soup bases are almost too salty, and "Anglo-saxon-afied" whereas Ippudo's house ramen gets it just right.  In addition, the pork buns are also a cut above their competitors.  Get the Shisito peppers, pork buns, and try the sake unfiltered if you've never had it that way before.  Plan in waiting about 90 minutes for a table, even on a Monday night.  There's a bar across the street to get your drink on first, but it's worth the wait.

10.    Peasant (downstairs)- Rustic Italian

If you've ever dined at Peasant upstairs, you'll realize just how much Italian you really don't know.  Obscure phrases such as "Polpi in Purgatorio" (is that octopus in purgatory?) make you wonder what you've been eating all along in those other Italians places.  Food is exquisite, but lets face it, it's easy to find stellar food at $25 per entrée, but how about the same quality food at half price just downstairs?  Peasant downstairs is literally right below the one upstairs.  You walk through these large wooden doors that are unmarked which feels like you're entering into a bomb shelter- but once you're inside, it's the completely unexpected warm exposed brick and beam construction, thick heavy curtains lining the walls, and flickering candle light on each long slab wooden table that makes you feel that you've just entered a dimly lit Michelangelo Antonioni movie in the 1970's.  Romantic, inviting, and the noise level at a good boisterous, but still low enough hear your friends talking.  The food is generally meant for sharing- simple salads, rustic pizzas, and a fierce charcuterie plate make this a low key, yet supremely rich dining experience.

Vietnamese Restaurants in Plano Texas

Vietnam is famous within Asia for its outstanding cuisine. Vietnamese food not only has Asian influence, but it also has influence from the French as well. The combination of both French and Asian makes for several amazing dishes.

Vietnamese food is famous for using alot of fresh vegetables in there dishes. Some dishes are entirely vegetarian keeping with the Buddhist vegetarian tradition. In addition to vegetables they are known to use several types of herbs and spices including lemon grass, lime, and kaffire lime leaves. Fish sauce as well as soy sauce is also commonly used in Vietnamese cuisine.

In Plano there are two main restaurants that specialize in Vietnamese cuisine Pho Que Huong and Zander's house. Pho Que Huong is a small chain that currently has ten locations around the Dallas area. Zander's house recently moved to the Dallas area in 2006 from New York City.

Pho Que Huong is located West of 75 on Legacy. Pho Que Huong is a simple restaurant that would remind most people of a traditional cafe. It has around twenty tables located between the door and the counter. With casual Asian style the seating is comfortable and inviting.

Zander's House is located on the west side of 75 just north of Park road. Zander's house is in a larger establishment that has large open seating. Zander's also sports a large bar for the person looking for a place to grab happy hour after work.

Both Pho Que Huong and Zander's house offer a wide menu of traditional Vietnamese cuisine. Both offer selections of Soups, Vermicelli, Vietnamese BBQ, as well as Noodle Plates. I found the staff to be quite friendly at both locations. Pho Que Huong tends to be a little bit cheaper than Zander's house when comparing lunch menus. Pho Que Huong doesn't have a lunch menu, their menu is served all day long. Zander's house tends to run around 15 dollars a plate for dinner. Pho Que Huong tends to run around 6 dollars a plate.

I enjoyed Zander's house atmosphere more than Pho Que Huong, I found that Pho Que Huong tended to have a louder dinning area than Zander's. But, as far as the food is concerned, I found the lunch menu at Zanders to be lacking that of Pho Que Huong. If you looking for a quick simple place to grab a meal then Pho Que Huong is probably the place for you. However, if you are looking for something a little bit more upscale, or want to enjoy a alcoholic beverage with your meal, Zander's is the place for you.

All About New York City Restaurants

OK, let's establish some ground rules. It's called the City, not Manhattan. And under no circumstance should you ever say New York City. Yes, we know some New Yorkers do take things a bit too far and say they are from the City even when they are visiting relatives in Tulsa - where the nickname really loses its luster.

Whatever it is you are trying to do while you're in the City, do it quickly and get out of the way. That applies to ordering at the deli (where do you think the Soup Nazi idea came from?), riding the escalators, crossing the street or buying a paper. Things have a faster pace up here and people like it that way. This City will eat you alive if you don't prepare properly.

But even with all of the millions of people scurrying around, you can still blend into the madness and fit right in. That's because everyone is too busy to notice you as they race to the subways, run to catch the ferries, or fight for a cab. New York has a "kick you in the teeth" attitude that can make you feel satisfied when you actually accomplish something. And, you know you earned it because you've just navigated thru all the madness. Here's a local tip so don't sound like a tourist when you are downtown- it's pronounced "How-Stin" even though it is spelled like Houston. SoHo means south of Houston - now go figure out NoHo on your own.

Immerse yourself in the City, with all it has to offer, and you'll understand why it's like no other place on earth. The diversity, the energy, the attitude - you can find anything and everything in the City that never (EVER) sleeps. There's always a new neighborhood to explore, another restaurant to try, another club to dance at, and another bar to drink in.

Dreams have been realized here since the first settlers and you can feel that same spirit as you walk the streets of each neighborhood. Where else can you see millionaires mingling seamlessly with the working class? From munching on their morning bagels to singing along with Frank Sinatra at the end of the Yankees game, New Yorkers share the local pride. Maybe it's because everyone has one thing in common - they've all lived in that 300 square foot studio apartment and paid $2000 a month for it. And why does everyone say their address like it's the most regal location in the known universe?

NYC was built (and still runs) on its neighborhoods. You'll find that each has its own character, so get out and explore. People from all walks of life are really what make this place so special.

Restaurants

New York has so many types of food - from American to Japanese, from French to Asian - you can find anything and everything in this City. Where else can you walk down the street and smell the aromas from innumerable food stands that line the streets and the kitchens that pack them in every night? The diversity of NYC is unparalleled to any other. Here are some of our favorites:

Gascogne: If you can't make it out to Paris, make sure you can find your way to this charming French bistro in the city's Chelsea district. With French-speaking waiters, indoor/outdoor seating and culinary indulgences, this place can make you forget you're in NYC! The escargots and foie gras are always a pleaser! Gascogne is located on Eighth Ave. (Between 17th & 18th Streets).

B-Bar and Grill (formerly Bowery Bar): A popular summertime setting with indoor/outdoor ambiance, B-Bar is great for summer drinks and dinner on the patio. The place is known to draw A-listers and occasional celebrities. The grill offers delicious appetizers and the calamari & popcorn shrimp are always a great choice! B Bar is located on East 4th & Bowery.

Per Se: You'll go running down the streets in glee after dining here (located at 10 Columbus Circle, between 58th and 59th Sts.). With a French-New American menu that changes daily, this pricey culinary experience is a worthwhile treat for your senses (the dishes are as delicious as they are colorful). Whatever you do, begin your meal with the "Oysters and Pears" and make sure you save enough room for the "Coffee and Doughnuts" dessert.

Il Mulino:This is the epitome of an Old New York hangout, the restaurant boasts some of the best Italian food you'll ever eat. Located in the West Village (on 86 W. Third St., between Sullivan & Thompson and near NYU), the place is small, crowded & quite loud, but the food makes it all worth while. Bring your appetite (portions are big enough to feed a small country) and your wallet.

Dos Caminos (Soho): With made-to-order guacamole and some of the best margaritas in town (in addition to more than 150 tequila selections), you can't go wrong with the city's top Mexican spot. With indoor and outdoor seating options, this place brings the fiesta downtown! Dos Caminos is located at West Broadway & Houston (along with a location on Park Avenue and a Midtown location opening in Fall '06).

Jean Georges: It's simple, French chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten can't get it wrong (ever!) This restaurant, inside the Trump International Hotel, is as sophisticated as it is superb. Located off Columbus Circle (1 Central Park West, between 60th and 61st Sts.), this divine masterpiece offers a formal dining room, more casual cafe and an outdoor terrace for those cool summer nights. Don't you dare leave without sampling the baby scallops and the four-part citrus tasting.

Babbo: Who doesn't love Mario Batali? With its trademark pasta tasting menu, make sure you aren't watching your waistline when you arrive at this two-story townhouse. You'll find that the simplest ingredients have never tasted so good! Everything is tasty but we fancy the ravioli with beef cheeks and the goat cheese tortellini. Reservations are a must. Babbo is located at 110 Waverly Pl., between 6th Ave. and MacDougal.

Una Pizza Napoletana: Seriously, who needs Italy? This is, by far, the best pizza in the City - "The Best, Jerry...the best." Each bite is light, fragrant and oh-so delish! The buffalo mozzarella is shipped directly from Italy and pairs nicely with the finger-licking-good basil-infused tomato sauce. Una Pizza (349 E. 12th St., between 1st and 2nd Aves.) is not to be missed.

Bouchon Bakery: Located on Columbus Circle in the Time Warner Building, this casual French Boulangerie is anything but plain. You'll find everything from mouth-watering fresh croissants, to good-ol' PB&J sandwiches. This place has the best tuna fish sandwich we've ever had. And, did we mention they make their own hand-made chocolates?

Momofuku Noodle Bar: If you need a quick ramen fix - this is your spot. Just be prepared to wait (they don't take reservations). And, if you don't mind getting packed in like sardines and eating thigh-to-thigh with your fellow patrons - find your way to this amazing noodle bar. The three-variety steamed buns (pork, chicken or shitake) are worth the trip and the wait. Momofuku is located at 163 First Ave. (at 10th St.).

100 Degrees, For a Romantic Dinner - Restaurants in Hyderabad

What you see - 100 Degrees comes across as another winner from Ohri's. What works in its favor is its location on Necklace road with a magnificent view of Tank Bund. The restaurant's interiors are done with muted lights, water fountains in the center and a dome-like-structure that gives positive energy and appeal to the ambiance.

You can decide to dine inside or alfresco. The terrace area overlooking the Hussainsagar Lake with beach umbrellas is nothing short of a seaside experience especially during the evenings. The area is open for dinner and offers perfect setting for a romantic time out. But make your reservations if you want to enjoy the open roof as the seats there are limited and seldom available. The other side of the restaurant has a very secluded feel to it and is modeled like a lounge with soft pop music playing in the background.

What you get - 100 Degrees is a complete treat of global cuisines - Continental, Mediterranean, Tex-Mex and Indian.

The sizzlers are varied - Japanese Yakitori, Indian Kadai Paneer, Moroccan Chicken, Olive crusted Pomfret and more. Indian and Chinese noodle sizzlers are the unique selling points. You can also make your own sizzler choosing the bread, sauces and accompaniments, wash it down with some wine and end with Baklava (Greek and Middle eastern dessert made of thin pastry and nuts) served with ice cream.

The restaurant also offers finest coffees from all over the world. Be it coffee from Coorg, Hawaii, Jamaica, Yemen, Columbia or special teas like Earl Grey and Lemon Tea, the choice is wide.

The 100 Degrees Sizzler and the scrumptious Chicken Sizzler are must-tries. There is nothing like sipping your favorite drink, taking in the cool breeze blowing past and biting into a piping hot sizzler.

Our verdict - The Yakitori is not as authentic as promised but the Middle Eastern fare is par excellence. This is not a restaurant which is modestly priced but the ambiance makes it worth every penny. The kebabs are to die for as well. A glass of fine wine would go really well with the ambiance and is the recommended drink of choice.

The service is satisfactory though the knowledge of the staff on the dishes being served is at best limited but nonetheless satisfactory. We would have liked more tables for two outside as well. There is valet parking facility available. All in all, one of the best places for a romantic dinner in Hyderabad.
