I am so long overdue on posts! It has been a crazy few weeks since I've gotten back. And now that the holidays are here and in full swing, it is even harder for me to get some down time!
I am missing Hong Kong so much. I have friends that are still there and I envy their ability to indulge in all the flavors there. Chinese food in L.A. is just NOT the same. Let me show you why I love the food there so much:
1. Dim Sum at
Tim Ho Wan: The story is that the Four Seasons chef left and had started his own restaurant, Tim Ho Wan, and it's Four Seasons quality for 1/4th the price! It's also one of the "cheapest"
Michelin rated restaurants in the world.

4.
Caprice: Three Michelin stars for a French restaurant in the middle of Hong Kong. Okay, well not the "middle". But they had excellent food and GREAT service. Instead of folding our napkins when we left the table, they brought an entirely NEW one!
