So, I’ll be making a two week trip to Asia early April. Finally back in Asia after 4 years!
Hong Kong
First stop: 4 full days in Hong Kong. I’ve really missed the food and the vibe. Will be staying in Mongkok at The Cordis. Been there multiple times already, also at its Michelin star restaurant.
This time I want to focus more on low key eating places. I haven’t had time yet to look up some of my old favourites, but I will add them here once I have. Looking for local places offering bbq roast meat, claypot rice dishes, and actual dai pai dongs.
I still know a few restaurants, that is I know where they are located but can’t remember their names. For example, this sushi place with conveyor belt in Causeway Bay. And I really want to revisit Din Tai Fung there again.
I have already arranged for 1 dinner at Man Wah at the Mandarin Oriental.
Kuala Lumpur
First time! Will not stay long, probably two full days (as I want to stay a full week on a beach in Thailand). What is a good location to stay around, near outdoor food? I remember my parents staying at the Swiss Garden Residences and they had said there was a large food market outside, which sounds good.
What are some of the unmissable food stops in KL? Again, looking for local foods, preferably including seafood.
Thanks!
