Hero Sandwich, Tai Kok Tsui

After being back in this hustling city for almost a month, I finally made myself to go on a solo food hunt yesterday. Once I stepped foot out of the MTR station, I realised why I've been hesitating on going out. I was instantly choked by the polluted air and secondhand smoke, making me almost forgot the reason that I fell in love with this city in the first place.

While finding my way to Hero Sandwich, I got lost in the old buildings and night lightings around Prince Edward.

It is quite a distance to get to Hero Sandwich from the Prince Edward MTR Station but nonetheless, I can tell you that it was worth it.

I had the Rib Eye Steak Sandwich Combo, which comes with fries and a drink for $46. The bread was perfect! Crispy crust on the outside and soft on the inside, as everyone would love to have it. Its crispiness doesn't hurt the sides of my mouth, if you know what I mean. Fries were served sizzling hot and fresh. All in all, it was worth my bucks and the walk.

If you come in a pair to Hero Sandwich, they have a duo set meal for only $99, which I think is a bargain because they also throw in a dessert for you.

Can't believe I ditched my blog for more than a month, despite all the free time that I have rotting away in my summer crib. Right now I am counting down 3 days till I jet off to New York city and do what I am suppose to do this summer.

No more promises on future updates (because I barely keep it) but I am definitely working on something in the mean time.

May I Tickle Your Taste Buds?

So much for adapting back to my uni life until I didn't realise that I abandoned my blog for almost two weeks. 9a.m classes for 4 out of 5 weekdays, good way to make me start a healthy lifestyle. Well, that also depends if I could last through the whole semester without sleeping in for the morning classes.

The weather just turned colder a week ago and my HK friends are still trying to convince me that there is no autumn season in this country. Me, in denial, of course wants to believe that there is autumn, instead of having the weather turning freezing cold in less than a month from now.

After some short updates, back to what I do best when blogging. Food pictures taken during Alvin's birthday in Dan Ryan's Chicago Grill.

Complimentary bread and appetizers, Caesar Salad & Fried Soft Shell Crab.

All the main courses we had. Everything was pretty good, no doubt it's better than Chili's and TGIF back home.

The most interesting part of that dinner was actually witnessing the birthday boy finishing the whole pork rib by himself, leaving the plate spotless.

To make up for my disappearance, I'll be putting up pictures from the another night out I had with my food kakis (read: companion). We went to 3 different restaurants in a night, that's how crazy we are when it comes to food.

Malaysian cuisine at the Sabah Malaysian Cuisine, Wanchai. The Malaysian troupe brought our Korean friend, Ji Ho for a feast since he loves it after the last time I brought him there. *beams*

Hopped over to Causeway Bay to have proper western dessert since everyone was turning down the idea of the traditional Hong Kong desserts.

Explored a new place called SML, Times Square and they have the perfect word to replace 'desserts' on their menu.

After a dose of sugar, we had the carvings for something salty instead. Tempted by the sight of the french fries that was ordered by the table next to us, we adjourned to 798 Unit & Co Bistro, which was just a floor above SML to continue with our food journey.

Cheese fries. *yums*

Okay, I'm done tickling your taste buds at this hour.

The one and only reason for the lack of style shots is that it is so difficult to get someone to take a proper picture for me. I either get really awkward posing in front of my friends or they couldn't work well with my DSLR, just like my brother.

Of course, this isn't just another narcissistic post about myself. How can we miss out on the food when I just came back to Hong Kong?

Two most amazing girls that I met from university, definitely can't ask for a better pair of food-hunting partners.
