Hung’s Delicacies – Hong Kong Airport: Did not meet expectations

After clearing immigration around 1:20 PM, we decided to eat at Hung’s Delicacies, a Michelin-acclaimed Chiuchow and Cantonese restaurant at HKIA. We ordered several of their signature dishes:

What We Tried

Marinated Roast Goose
The goose was fatty, and while the meat was okay, the flavor didn’t stand out. The skin was rich in fat but lacked the depth of taste I expected.
Garlic Chicken
This was the highlight of the meal. The chicken was tender and infused with a fragrant garlic flavor that made it truly enjoyable.
Pork Jowl
Unfortunately, this was the weakest dish. The meat was not tender and lacked the pleasantly chewy texture that pork jowl should have.
Chai Xin with Cordyceps Flowers and Fungus
A pleasant surprise—well-balanced and blanched to the right texture. Light and refreshing.
Salt and Pepper Corn
Grilled, sweet, and savory, but honestly, the classic salt-and-pepper squid still reigns supreme. Nice, but no wow factor.
Signature XO Sauce Mi Fen with Sakura Prawns and Scallions
Thin, stringy noodles (even thinner than mak noodles), served dry with soy sauce. Pretty standard fare—nothing particularly memorable.

Overall Impression

✔ Garlic chicken was excellent—flavorful and tender
✔ Vegetables were well-prepared and balanced
✖ Goose lacked depth of flavor
✖ Pork jowl was disappointing
✖ XO sauce noodles were average

The restaurant itself is clean and tidy, with a modern Hong Kong vibe. Service was efficient, and the menu offers plenty of traditional options. However, based on what we tried, the food didn’t fully live up to the Michelin reputation—except for the garlic chicken, which I’d recommend.

Verdict:
If you’re at HKIA and want a taste of Chiuchow-style dishes, Hung’s Delicacies is convenient and offers variety. Go for the garlic chicken and maybe the vegetables, but manage expectations for the other signatures.

Panasonic steam oven NU-SC100WYPQ "Cutie" Product Review

I wanted to get weeks about it I purchased this item from Tangs at SGD $399. They are having a promotion of discount SGD $50 if you spend SGD $500. So i top up with a vacuum tumbler and pyrex glass dish. After several months of using, here are my comments on this cutie steam oven. This is purely a steam oven with no microwave function. One of the rare oven with no microwave function. I am ok with it as i steam fishes regularly and its a perfect addition of appliance. The other alternative is the miele steam oven and it is on offer at the same time for SGD $1600. The oven can be plugged to main power point as it is at 13 amp. Summary: Here are some of my observations using the steam oven. Buns Easy peasy for the early morning rush to work, put the char siew bao into the oven. Set it to 10 mins and you can steaming hot bun to eat for breakfast. Fish I steam fish majority of the time. It is super easy to use for steaming fish Vegetables Tr...

Kose Beauty Centre Facial Review (Isetan Scotts)

I was very very taken aback when i entered the unassuming beauty salon right in the heart of orchard. While the place is clean and design is simple, it was very sparsely furnished considering its brand name and in comparision with Yamano (the other japanese salon i went). I entered the facial premises after i passed through the hair salon. What greeted me makes my jaw dropped even more, the room is bare. There is no wall partitions for privacy, in its place are curtains hung to separate the different beds. And i am able to see all the facial therapist and guests. Each therapist handles 2 guests both at the same time!!! From My session suppose to start at 3 pm since my therapist is also handling another customer, i whipped out my phone and start playing candy crush till my therapist is available at 3.30pm. The therapist started by cleaning my face and recommending the appropriate therapy for my skin. I was advised to do the Whitening & Anti-ageing Treatment an...

Wedding solemnisation at Chijmes - Review

Having a romantic church wedding is the dream of every girl, myself included. But unless you're a christian, its almost impossible to hold your wedding solemnisation at a church. In japan, the church wedding concept is very prevalent and it comes at a price. One such place is Hotel Monterey Kyoto with a "church" extension that can fulfill a bride-to-be dream church wedding. So if we love to hold a wedding at a chapel in Singapore, Chijmes is the place to go. Chijmes is a beautifully structure historic building complex in Singapore that has been gazetted as a national monumnet. It once housed a Catholic convent school known as the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus (CHIJ) and their convent quarters known as Caldwell House. It has been restored for commercial purposes, such as shopping, dining and an entertainment centre. Here is the views of the former church decorated as a solemnisation venue. For solemnisation, the 2 aisles will serve as the d...
