Father's Day dinner @ Century Seafood

     We wanted to make Father's Day special, so we chose one of Dad's favorite restaurants, Century Seafood. The restaurant is always packed, either because of an event (mostly weddings) or it's just ordinary full house. It's a good thing we were able to reserve on time. 

Soup with dried scallops

"Birthday noodles"
Sorry don't know the exact name.

Pigeon

Prawn Salad

Salted Fish Fried Rice

Stir fried scallops with broccoli

Steamed Suahe

Steamed Lapu-Lapu

Mochi balls

     When I asked the name of this dessert, they gave me a foreign name. This is ube flavored with peanut butter filling. This is yummy!

    We were 5 and all of these were wiped out. ^_^ This is one of the best Chinese restaurants in town. In all our visits, I can say everything is always good... taste, quality, flow of the place are consistent. I suggest to make a reservation at least 2-3 days in advance since it gets full.

Comfort food @ Rose Bowl

     This is my Dad's favorite restaurant in Baguio. It was first located in Harrison road then recently transferred to General Luna road. They're known for their simple Chinese food, but American and Filipino food are also available (I hope I'll get to try these next time). Prices are reasonable too. This adds to our comfort food list.

Impressed with the brighter and bigger ambience... and better location too.

This is their view.

     I have only started eating here since 2009 (if I'm not mistaken) and I always enjoyed, never a bad moment. According to Dad, many don't leave Baguio without eating here... and I have to agree.

Asian inspired lunch @ Lucky Noodles, Solaire

     Going to Solaire for the second time was a privilege... not for gambling, but for sightseeing and eating (at least for me). :P We were looking forward to lunch at Lucky Noodles since it's something new and interesting. Located inside the casino, it's one of their casual dining places which specializes in Asian noodle and rice dishes. 

     Love the bright and chic setting! I was happy there were plastic and wooden chopsticks available. I always choose plastic chopsticks for safety reasons because I've gotten splinters from wooden chopsticks before. I was amused the plastic chopsticks came in several colors. ^_^

Menu

This is a temporary one.

     Food was comforting and filling, so we all enjoyed. It was good there was no sign of MSG because we would have felt it and we didn't.* The staff were efficient and friendly too. It's open 24 hours, so you can try it any time... literally. ;)

First dinner @ Wu Kong

     Another family favorite in Hong Kong is Wu Kong. It's always full here and sometimes we see familiar faces too... that explains it's really yummy here. Good thing our hotel was only a few blocks away from the restaurant. 

Love their aquarium! I know kids will want to look at this.

Chicken in wine

Honey ham and crispy bean curd in bread

Braised sliced beef with scallion

Sauteed eel

Braised Mandarin fish with sweet and sour sauce

Steamed Shanghai pork dumplings

Sauteed snow pea shoots

Sauteed fresh shrimps

Crispy duck

Fried pomfret

     I admit I was hesitant with the eel and fish because of my fear of swallowing small bones. Thank goodness that didn't happen. I was pleasantly surprised how fresh and tasty they were.

Second day lunch @ Yung Kee

     A trip to Hong Kong is never complete without eating in Yung Kee. They specialize in Roasted Goose, but everything is good here... one of the best Chinese restaurants! This has been a family favorite for years. This restaurant has several floors and it's always full. Not to worry... there's an elevator for those who are too tired from shopping. :D

Roasted goose and other items are available for take out.
