Would be a little bit more expensive if you elect to sit at the bar. Even back then to go to a restaurant in HK for similar quality stuffs it might take more than USD100.-<br /><br />These days with USD25.- orAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-25996627885478764552017-04-02T13:13:15.024+08:002017-04-02T13:13:15.024+08:00Hi once more Paul --

If you can see the cooks, if not wait staff, are Thai, chances are it won't be too bad. There's also this Thai noodle place called Samsen that's AMAZING. As for Indonesian: If they can speak Bahasa Indonesia/Malaysia and know you can... ;b<br /><br />Vietnamese food, YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-8939783758793318662017-04-02T03:40:42.303+08:002017-04-02T03:40:42.303+08:00Malaysian food in HK?

I remember I've been to Satay Inn in TST once and frankly the Bah Kut Teh wasn't any better than a pack of Cheong Kim Chuan BKT that I can make at home. That said, I certainly have no exposure to what Malaysian food should taste like in Malaysia. But after listening to your comment I should probably forget Southeast Asian food in HK altogether.<br /><br />PaulPaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00043097281088399947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-73179878596666033512017-04-01T23:54:26.345+08:002017-04-01T23:54:26.345+08:00Hi again Paul --

Still, as I've pointed out to my Japanese friends, at least you can get quality if you pay for it. Malaysian food in Hong Kong on the other hand... you can pay 20 times the price and the quality is still not even 1/10th as good as what YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-65715903494688644692017-04-01T11:25:30.865+08:002017-04-01T11:25:30.865+08:00Sayori and Hiramasa!
