Lyon Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Exactly the same Egg tart is also my fave, I prefer cookie-type crust rather than pastry-type, which one do you like? :D I guess the last one is barbecue pork bun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the tradition, right? I love egg tarts- I can eat all six of them in one sitting. I like both crusts, but the best egg tarts I've had have been soft crusted. I just wish that they were more widely available and I wouldn't need to go into the Chinatown just to get them I really enjoy the puffy sweet beard. There seems to be one with sweet barbecue pork and another with red bean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yours_forever Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 So, I figure someone here will know.... What on earth is Tappenyaki?! And why are they always serving it with sushi? I have passed like 4 restaurants that advertise "tappenyaki and sushi!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have passed like 4 restaurants that advertise "tappenyaki and sushi!" Have you eaten at Benihana or Japanese grill? Basically, it's an interactive eating experience. The chef grills Japanese food for you Like beef, pork, chicken, noodles, vegetables, seafood, w/ different sauces, etc. I'd done it a few times, and I've enjoyed it.

yours_forever Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 No, I haven't been to either of those places So, basically, it's not a specific dish, it's just what they call it when the chef cooks it right in front of you like a show? I think I get it. That's fun The closest things I've done to that is YC's Mongolian GRill... You make a bowl with all the stuff you want (meat, vegetables, noodles, sauce) and then they take your bowl and cook it on a big round stove-type this with giant chop sticks and move it around in a circle until it's all cooked. Than they use their giant chop stick to swipe it into a new bowl for you like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Japanese grill is a more pricey service- the Chefs even do their own show for you (juggling utensils), juggling food, preparing the food in a stylish manner, etc.. The whole affair can last well over an hour There's a certain intangible enjoyment to the whole atmosphere that enhances both the food and your dinner partners.

Well, that is a very traditional serving style but nowadays, most of the chinese restaurants changed to order forms, we just need to fill in the form for our desired dim sum, they will deliver the food to your table.

I bought 3 Egg tarts from a bakery yesterday and I have to say that I prefer the "cookie" crust Like what CI said I think this is only a kind of cooking methods Do you know Kaiseki? This is a very classic multi-course Japanese dinner I done Kaiseki twice before. I'd love to have this type of dinner again. I had a 11- course in a private room with half a dozen partners. There was also a "Japanese Tea ceremony" included :-p It was definitely a little awkward...eating on the floor, lol. Especially by the last few courses.. I'm not completely used to it.. Do you understand Japanese tea, Lyon? I..don't fully understand it, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyon Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Yes, Kaiseki was traditionally served with Japanese tea ceremony, chanoyu. Actually Japanese does most of the things on floor (Sleeping and Eating), same as Korean. But that makes my muscle sore, I'm not used to it as well As for the egg tart, have you ever heard of Pastel de nata? This is Portuguese style egg tart which is made with pastry crust but a completely different sensation You should try it when you get a chance to visit Macau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyon Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Talk about grill, if you are a loyal fan of it, YOU SHOULD TRY Bulgogi (I think I've mentioned it before). You can grill any food yourself, I like making my own dish :D There are many Korean restaurants here have Bulgogi, it's like $150HKD - $200HKD something for a period of time unlimited food and drinks, or better say All you can eat right?
