Dieting Starts Tomorrow (for Mia)

Mia is officially overweight. Her waistline is gone and replaced with this cutest little belly. I personally think she is cuter when she's rounder. But no, she was born with bad joints. So for her own good, diet starts tomorrow. Carefully calculated calorie intake with a decent amount of exercise. Maybe I should walk her every night, so we both can get off our butts. (we are both sitting on the couch as I write this...)

Awesome food.

Too bad I lost my wallet at the restaurant, making this $60 meal (with all those food below!) a $2000 "dining experience". Pretty sure the restaurant people picked up my wallet but there's just nothing I could do :(

The Congress for Family Gathering

Been the the Congress once before during lunch time. Buffet style salad bar and noodle bar. The view was amazing and the food selection generous.

The Congress daytime view

Salad with tuna, anchovies, olives, capers and other goodies

My uncle chose the Congress for our Mid-Autumn family gathering last night. We had a secluded room to ourselves, a massive table for the six of us. Even though it was buffet style, we had a sashimi and a seafood platter to kick start our evening. The dinner buffet food selection was even better, and the waiters never stopped topping up popular items (oysters, crab legs etc etc). The desserts were all in bite size so it's possible to try everything without filling your stomach up too quickly.

Kaiko Teppanyaki (5 Stars!)

Dinner at Kaiko Teppanyaki at Causeway Bay World Trade Center.
Fantastic view of the harbor, food was cooked right in front of us. Surprisingly good ventilation, unlike other teppanyaki places where your clothes smell afterwards. Food was delicious, especially the foie gras on Chinese wild yam (准山).
