Adventure #26: 水記

Updated on 14 March 2012

Once again, after the kids' classes, we roamed Central in search for lunch.  Today, we tried 水記, a very old street hawker 大牌檔 at one of the "slanting street" 斜巷 Gutzlaff Street in Central.



One of the very few 大牌檔 left in HK

Table in front of a sundry shop - this is what old HK is



牛腩 noodle was great although the 牛腩 was a bit tough, may be becasue we ate too early??

Wantons were very good, kids loved them

May be because the wantons were made of fish and pork (like the Malaysian ones) rather than with prawns

Update - 14 March 2012:
Been back a couple of times since. Quality varies especially re the noodles. The last time we ate there, the alkaline taste was so strong, none of us finished our noodles. We will lay off this place for a while.

Adventure #25: 208 Duecenta Otto (Again)

Took the kids to sample the pizza at 208 Duecenta Otto.  We only eat Pizza Margherita, so that's what we ordered.  The pizza dough is very good but I think they put too much sauce on, so it is very soggy in the middle.  Good but not the best we have had.

Adventure #24: 208 Duecenta Otto

G has been (and still is) sick for the past couple weeks, his cough just won't go away.  As a result, we've been eating at home most of the time.  However, today is my birthday, it just won't do to eat at home.  So, a compromise, we decided to eat out for lunch instead.  This time, we chose 208 Duecenta Otto at the end of Hollywood Road.

Heard it is famous for its pizza but didn't feel like having pizza for lunch.  We ordered from the set lunch menu.

Instead of normal bread, we were given some pizza bread - yummy!
We had seconds :)

Prawn and clam "zuppa"

Prosciutto salad

Barbecued hanging steak - nicely done but quality of beef is not match for what we have at home



Chargrilled swordfish - nice and tender



And we finished with a very refreshing yoghurt ice cream.  Food is good.  Will come back and try a pizza.
