Lunch at The China Club, Hong Kong

On our recent trip to Hong Kong we decided to revisit The China Club, but this time for lunch. We arrived early and were seated in a corner booth with a great view of the dining room, which allowed us to observe the business folk who were also dining there.

It is great to experience a restaurant you enjoy at a different time of the day. Our previous experiences of The China Club have been dinners and it was amazing to see how light and airy the Club is during the daytime and a slightly different clientele. You really get to appreciate the stained glass windows with the sunlight streaming through them.

As always the staff were friendly and efficient and most helpful.

Before we ordered, pickles and boiled peanuts were bought to our table and then we set about deciding what to order.

For our entrée we had a plate of honey barbecued pork and honey roasted eel. The pork was delicious and the eel was tasty (Mr. CA4G had most of the eel, which he loved).

We chose two main courses along with our favourite pineapple and seafood rice. Our first main was a spicy prawn dish which we followed with a beef stir fry (really must take photos of the menus).

And we always forget that the pineapple seafood fried rice is enough for four people, but we love it so much we just can’t go past it. Makes us sit and enjoy our meal a little longer.

Of course we couldn’t go past custard tarts. These were so light and fluffy they put the ones here in Chinatown to shame. They were also had that just cooked warmness to them.

Again, another great experience at The China Club in Hong Kong and we look forward to our next visit.

The Parlour, Hullett House, Hong Kong

A hot and humid Hong Kong evening saw us head to the terrace of Hullett House for dinner. Situated in the former Marine Police Headquarters, Hullett house is now a luxury hotel with restaurants and forms part of the Heritage 1881 precinct in Tsim Sha Tsui.

The terrace is part of The Parlour restaurant/bar and offers a great place for a drink or meal while overlooking Hong Kong Harbour.

Having had a good lunch we decided to have a simple dinner. Freshly baked hot rolls were bought to our table while we selected from the menu.

Mr. CA4G had angel hair pasta with prawns and scallops, dotted with salmon roe. While I had a mushroom and confit duck risotto.

A glass of Prosecco was very enjoyable with our meal as we enjoyed the sunset over the island.

Hullett House is one of must go to dining destinations when we visit Hong Kong and we look forward to dining on the terrace again.
