We went to Shake em Buns ... I say the best burger place in Central tops Union Gourmet Burger by far and you know how ridiculous UGB charges for a can of soda ... HKD 30!!! That was freaking rip off. The burger patties at Shake em Buns are much tastier and seasoned with onion, garlic and salt. The fries are hot off the deep frier and not some refried crap fries. The place has a sense of humor too.
We also walked all the way to Sheung Wan to Bun Me for Vietnamese sandwiches and vermicelli. This is the second Vietnamese sandwich shop we lunched at. I still like Delicieux Bistro better for the taste part. I ordered the same name thing lemongrass beef. Bun Me served me a sandwich with sliced beef and slapped some lemongrass sauce with veggie for taste. The baguette was not toasted nor the guy asked me if I wanted it toasted. Even though they are cheapper by HKD 8.00. The place is a hole in the wall like all the family own restaurants around Central. Yet, I still prefer pampered with air conditioned when I eat.
And to top this week and month, I got my cover of Crave Mag August issue when it came out on August 1st just hot off the press. JP and my foodie photos number 10 and number 15 spread the two spreads of Crave's Food Porn section. We were bummed we did not win the HKD 2,000 to Spoon, but we will keep on taking photos of great food and submitting to Crave until we win!
I would really love to get a copy of Modernist Cuisine ... but it is a tad expensive. I will wait for their dessert volume to come out. That I would jump to get a copy of ... yummy sweets.
