The Conrad Executive Lounge offers breakfast. lunch, dinner and snacks/drinks throughout the day. I have often had meals and drinks here during my stay at the Conrad.

My most recent visit here with my wife we enjoyed our arrival breakfast at the Lounge. The breakfast items have a mix of continental and asian selections. After having breakfast in the Garden downstairs the next day; I would definitel chose that over the lounge going forward (the selection was just so much better).

As Diamond status with Hilton we were entitled to complimentary breakfast either in the Executive Lounge or her at the Garden Cafe. After seeing the breakfast spread the day before as we were walking out of the hotel; my wife wanted to try this instead.

We arrived around 8am and were seated at a table for four. Tea arrived soon thereafter and we began to explore the buffet offerings. I must say the buffet offerings were incredible and even puts a cruise ship to shame when it came to variety and amounts of food. The buffet had a typical american/continental area as well as a full Asian buffet side. The offerings ranged from pork sticky buns, noodles, yogurt, waffles, pancakes, doughnuts, pastry, cheese, meats, potatoes, cereals, fruit, eggs, juices and more. It was amazing just looking at everything.

In particular I enjoyed the noodles and dumplings. The waffles were quite nice as was the fruit. What made my wife the happiest was that they had Cocoa Crispies on the buffet. Yes, she adores that cereal from childhood so this gave her an added smile for the day.

Service here was very good and I'm glad I ventured out from my usual breakfast in the lounge.

After a long day of sightseeing; my wife and I were exhausted. We attempted to get into the Executive lounge but it was full so we headed off to the lobby bar for drinks and then back to the room. we were both hungry and the idea of venturing out for food did not appeal to us.

We took a look at the room service menu and decided we should be lazy and order something in. Ater perusing the menu I found exactly what I wanted: A Singapre Rice Noodle with seafood. My wife went with their Margherita pizza. We placed our order and relaxed in bed.

About twenty minutes later our food arrived via a white gloved waiter. He set up a table with linens and placed our entrees and silverware upon it along with a small vose with orchids....very nice indeed. From bite one I was in love with my dish. It was incredibly good. My wife also loved her entree; she was very hungry as well.

This was my first experience with room service at the Conrad and I was very impressed by the service and food quality.

The place was so amazing and their food was hot when served with a chopstick ready on it.

Favorite Dish: Mixed vegetables with sweet baby corn and brocolli on top and definitely a healthy food. NO questions about it...!!!

Looking at the Mandarin word, I thought the restaurant's name was 'di zi'. I now believe that the owners are using the old chinese version where you have to read the name from right to left. Also, the name "Chee Kei" should be read in Cantonese an not as a chinese translation.

We were there at 11am and the shop was pretty empty. What I learnt was that Hong Kongers are generally not early risers, nor do they eat lunch at such early timing.

Favorite Dish: When visiting the restaurant, you must try the congee and also their wanton noodles! The congee was silky smooth. It does not comes with rice beads, but it's broken rice.

The wanton noodles was equally delicious!

My Hong Kong friend and I met in the late evening and he suggested that we have dessert over at this particular place called Xu Liu Shan. Looking at the queue and afterwhich at my watch, I can only say that these people are eating at all times of the day. My watch showed that it was 11.30pm. What are these people doing at bed time??? At least it was my bedtime.

All in all, the place was quite cramped. But it's a norm in this land scarce country.

Favorite Dish: My friend told me I'd to try their warm mango pomelo dessert. I was so tempted to try those cold desserts as the picture of those desserts really looked very tasty. But then, I felt that I was coming down with a flu and thus chose the former.

I did not particularly like the pomelo, but overall it was not too bad. I was still looking over my shoulder to savour the beauty of the many desserts that were on the other tables.

It was way past lunch time and we had wanted to catch the dolphin show. So the plan was to have our lunch somewhere near the ocean theatre.

There's a long queue at this takeaway restaurant, though the good thing is that you'd know the food is fast moving since the sale is brisk.

Favorite Dish: I'd say that for a takeaway restaurant, the food is not too bad. The roast pork (Char siu) was really good, albeit it being a tad too oily. All in, it was a satisfying meal.

Figuratively, I was among giants as I was in the midst of Hong Kong islands. I was also among giants when I found out that the restaurant I'd visited, Mak's Noodle, is a 3rd generation family business dating back to the 1960s.

The restaurant even has its own wiki page!

Truthfully, my family and I chanced upon this restaurant and had not regretted stopping by this food joint for wanton noodles. The food was also reasonably priced - average of about HK$30 for a bowl of wanton noodle.

Favorite Dish: As it's chinese name suggests, this restaurant serves mainly wanton noodle. There are also other offerings such as beef noodles and shrimp noodles. After ordering both the wanton and beef noodles, both were equally good.

What made the difference was the springy feel of the noodles. Not over or under cooked. The soup base was tasty too.

It was so delicious that I even ordered a bowl of plain noodle soup. Totally yummy!
