Hong Kong Emperor Seafood Restaurant ♥ ♥

We are at it again. Being so GI (Genuine Instik) and wearing too much red when there is a birthday.

Old dogs and new tricks, they just don’t jive.

We even take it a notch higher by celebrating at where else? A Chinese restaurant!

And the name? Hong Kong Emperor!

*Gong sound effects*

 

But hey, we are celebrating for not one, but two Chinese peoples here, so this GI act is somewhat justifiable.

 

Relax! This is not an MTR station and we are not in Hong Kong SAR. The restaurant is in MOA, and our “North Point” room offers stunning view of the beautiful Manila Bay.

 

It is simply breathtaking. That’s my dad capturing the magnificence.

 

And he just can’t get over how mesmerizing it is. DAD!!!!!!!

 

FINALLY!!!

Emperor BBQ Cuts Combination – can’t compare to Hong Kong’s but this is actually quite ok

 

Braised Shark's Fin Soup with Chicken Strips

 

This is really just chicken strips in chicken soup. I don’t see and taste no sharks fin here, so easy on the hate comments, okay?

 

Steamed Prawns with Garlic – quite ordinary

 

Braised Abalone with Mushroom and Conch – did they replace the conch with lettuce?
Yes, I think they did.

 

Sorry, Peking Ducky!

 

Beautiful, crisp, and glistening Ducky skins. Delicious!

 

What happened to the rest of Ducky - Minced Duck Meat with Lettuce Leaf  

 

Steamed Twin Lapu-Lapu – slightly overcooked

 

Hong Kong Famous Sautéed Crab with Pepper and Spices – overly fried and overly dry

 

 Birthday Noodles – too soft and soggy

 

Chilled Mango Sago – refreshing mango soup with sago pieces that need more thawing

 

 Coffee Jelly – strong coffee taste. Yum.

 

Coconut Jelly – rich coconut flavors. I love it.

 

Buchi – served hot and fresh. Glutinous rice is soft and the filling not to sweet.

 

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JR AND JAMIE” Cakes!
Big chocolate cake by Chocolat, assorted mini cakes by UCC
Cake arrangement by me! Hihihi!

 

Singing waiters and waitresses

 

Happy Birthday, Kiddos!!!

 

 

On another occasion,

Abalone and Goose Web in Superior Sauce – rather average

 

Black Pepper Beef on Sizzling Plate – I don’t like!

 

Hot Lapu Lapu Salad – sorry, but this tastes as fugly as it looks

 

I love the restaurant’s swanky chandeliers!
