HONG KONG: The Legend of Din Tai Fung! Yup I was in HK for a few days and Yelp led me to this spot!

A quick business trip to Hong Kong and when my boss asked me what I wanted to have for dinner I immediately took to Yelp and found Din Tai Fung...  I didn't know it was super famous in Tokyo.



Really loved this Blue Girl beer....super light and smooth.

The service here was so attentive and super polite.  The waitress even pours your beer.





Lots of busy dumpling chefs.



One of the more expensive items HKD 180... beef.  A bit chewy. 




Now this is what I came for!  Tiny dumplings Xiao Long Bao 
I haven't eaten many of these dumplings before but I guess it was good.

Very plump shrimp was HKD 180 also.


Gyoza filled with a plump shrimp.



Garlic flavored veggies.

This beef soup was soooo super tender.  Might have to try it with noodles next time.



Taiwanese Tantanmen noodles... 

You can ask the staff to split the noodles into these tiny bowls.

A client spilled something on her shirt and the staff provided us with this Stain Roller.









Overall I really liked the casual spacious atmosphere here.  The service was just perfect and actually I went back the next day as everyone left for Tokyo.  But BEST if you go with 2-3 people so you can try many of the items off the big menu.  See you again in June!

ASAGAYA: Gyoza-Bo Cho-Hakkai REVISTED with family and kids! Absolutely DELICIOUS!!

Good friend of mine invited me to everyone's favorite Gyoza-Bo Cho-Hakkai with his mother in law, wife and two little children.  Needed to book the 2nd floor three weeks in advance and even that far back only a weekday was available.

Perfect for anyone with a family...




The MENU!


Special sauces


Very cool looking shrine on the 2nd floor.


From the 2nd floor you order via this tube that goes directly to the 1st floor kitchen.


Buzz Lightyear... and Beer.

This cold shredded seasoned daikon with red spice was oishii.

Chinese Sake with dried Umeboshi






Very flavorful rice with meat wrapped in a leaf.



GYOZA HUNTER "Man versus Dumplings" by Phillip Kendal article in the bathroom.


We ate and drank and ate and ate til we were all totally stuffed and the bill came out to around 10,000yen.  The food was once again amazingly delicious, 2nd floor extremely comfortable/private and service was spot on amazing... Husband and Wife team really appreciates the customers and all smiles.  YOU MUST GO!!!
