Bringing Back Cocktail Hour - Hong Kong

Bringing it Back Hong Kong Style!

Nearly every Hong Kong travel guide recommends eating dim sum, the quintessential local meal.  Thanks to Curt’s gracious sponsorship of Dinner and Drinks for Two, we headed to the Din Tai Fung restaurant where we were in for a real treat!

The event began with a quick review of the Guide to Enjoy the XiaoLongBao.  Armed with this newly found knowledge, we feasted on a delicious selection of dishes such as steamed chicken dumplings, steamed shrimp and pork Shao-Mai, pork buns, and deep-fried sweet and sour chicken with chili.  To ensure we covered the core food groups, we added a wonderfully crispy and flavorful order of sautéed Chinese kale as our vegetable.

The meal was delectable and went well with our choice of beverages, refreshing Tsingtao beer and Chinese hot tea. 

We extend our appreciation to Curt for his generous funding of fine food and drink in one of our favorite cities, Hong Kong.

Looks delicious!
When you're back, you'll have to go to Lao Wang on Kentucky and Federal. Best XiaoLongBao in Denver!

Curt - We're glad to hear you approve of how we directed your generous contribution. It was a real treat. Here's a preview of another interesting snack we recently tried in Seoul, South Korea:
