The Canteen

I was lucky enough to return to Fook Lam Moon (aka the Tycoons' Canteen) for a dinner organised by one of my fellow foodies. As usual, he had pre-ordered all the dishes, and we were treated to an amazing feast. FLM is possibly my favourite Chinese restaurant in town. I have heard some friends complaining that the quality had been going down recently, but judging from what we were served that night, I could not tell. These people are a much tougher crowd than I am when it comes to food, so it might as well be that it actually has gone downhill and I do not go often enough / do not have sensitive enough tastebuds to notice. Oh well... I walked out of the restaurant happy that night, it's all that matters to me :-)

Sweet & sour pork - not something I would normally consider (as HK has so much more to offer) but was curious to try this at a premium eatery - it was well worth the stomach space!! Very yummy :-)
