Thanks for the recipe!!! Love it. Fresh or frozen local abalone is cheaper but will never give the same taste, flavor and texture as canned abalone (http://www.geocities.jp/hongkong_abalone/index_e.htm). I love the flavor and taste of canned abalone and one day I want to eat abalone like ‘abalone kings’ do: braised in sauce and served whole, like a steak, washed down with a good white wine. Cut with a knife and fork of course. Meantime, it’s still cheaper to slice abalone thinly and share with the family. I love this dish. It’s such a special treat

Cool! I know exactly where you took your photos in the fishing village on Lantau! Did you go to big Buddha too?
My friend wasn’t necessarily a foodie, so I didn’t get to try dim sum there which was really too bad. But next time when I go, I’m definitely going to Dynasty restaurant.

Hi Zen, all the food you show there are my favorites. I am not aware that Dynasty is a Michelin resto. Our family loves the hotpot rice there.
You want to know the secret of the dried abalone??? My dad has explored this for some years, one impt ingredient is the chinese ham (looks like Spanish Serrano Jamon), it’s very important to be able to get hold a good quality piece of ham and the process of preparing this is complicated. Dried abalone tastes much better than fresh ones and also many times more expensive. Good that you were able to try and eat it.
You are like me not only like to eat in good restaurants but also dare to try the street food! Thanks for spreading out your food experience in Hong Kong.

Can’t wait to go back to HK. Drooling over that crispy pork skin. Luckily a chinese restaurant over here in Richmond does a pretty good job of that including the sweet tofu. But that mangosteen shot is what got me…can’t find it anywhere over here.

[...] This picture was taken at Dynasty restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui during Dim Sum, a restaurant that specialize in good old Cantonese food. When a Dim Sum restaurant is given a one michelin star rating you know it’s gotta be good and the service was top notch as well. The lady in red was scooping out portions of pot rice studded with scallops and shrimps into individual bowls. It was great and the crunchy rice from around the edges provided a great textural contrast. More here zencancook.com [...]

Love your posts! I’ve been snooping around for the past several weeks and this is the first time I’m commenting on anything. Looks delicious and more importantly, I feel like I can taste everything….strange.
