My first meal during my Hong Kong visit (Oct 5, 2007) was at Hing Fat Restaurant (興發燒味茶餐廳) at Ashley Road (亞士厘道), Tsim Sha Tsui. The food was decent; the price was shocking by Malaysian standards, but pretty normal in Hong Kong.

It has almost been 2 years since Jogoya (from Taiwan) opened its branch in Kuala Lumpur at Starhill Gallery. I had read some good stuff about Jogoya prior to my first visit last Saturday (Oct 13, 2007), but I think it’s a bit overrated.

Roast chicken whole leg with sauerkraut (literally sour cabbage)… took a bit of cooking time but quite easy to prepare (with an oven).

Glossary and terminology of various cooking methods…
Blanch
Blanching is a process wherein the food is plunged into boiling water and removed (normally within a short time) and then plunged into ice (or cold) water.
The process is often used to preserve colour and texture of veges, to eliminate smell and blood (meat and bones) or for easy skin-peeling (tomato etc).
