Ming Court 明閣

Saturday, October 02, 2010

My recent trip to HK is mainly a food trip. With my mum and my aunty, 2 main chef in the family tagging along, it will be injustice to our family to bring them eat mediocre food. By bringing them to eat good food, we can bring some of the taste back with us. *light bulb moment*

One of our nights there, we had dinner in Ming Court, Langham Place at Mongkok. Since Mongkok is more well known as a place for markets and red-light district, it was a great achievement when they were awarded with 2 Michelin star. Sure, there were controversy that plagued when they first came out in Hong Kong but there is no denying that a Michelin rating is great PR for a restaurant. Fortunately for us too, this time we didn't have to wait in a 45 minutes line like our previous experience but instead being waited upon in a VIP room, thanks to some connection.

Roasted crispy pork loin with five spices (五香燒腩肉)
Not sure of the name of this dish but the prawn is really crunchy. When you bite on it you can hear some crunchy sound of the prawn. Worth a try!

Seasonal vegetable with superior soup

Peanut butter paste dessert

Green bean dessert

Chilled sago cream with chinese pomelo and mango (楊枝金露) (Oishii!!!)

Shredded chicken in spicy sauce (辣子雞絲)


Award-winning Stir-fried sliced giant garoupa stuffed with shrimp paste (龍皇披金甲) which won Silver Award at the 2009 Best of the Best Culinary Awards organized by the Hong Kong Tourism Board
Smoked duck breast (煙燻鴨胸肉)
This dish feels like Yong Tau Fu to me but not sure what is the exact name over here.

Stir-fried sweet and sour pork with pineapple (鳯朵咕嚕肉)
Sautéed diced beef with sliced garlic and sweetened walnuts (琥珀蒜片牛柳粒)

Roasted suckling pig and barbecued meat combination (乳豬拼盤)
Most people will know that I'm not a fan of pork but this is something really good. It's crispy and there is no odour that you normally get it in the pork, if you know what I'm talking about.
