Let's Talk Food: Steam Seafood Dinner in Hong Kong
Let's Talk Food: Steam Seafood Dinner in Hong Kong
Finally we are reunited in Hong Kong after 2 weeks of separation, after staying in Japan for 15 hours all by myself. First night dinner is a steaming seafood feast. We have taken quite a bit of pictures and I hope that you enjoy it too!
This is the steaming equipment that we used to steam all the seafood and meat, so the idea is that, all the juice of the seafood and the meat will then drip down to the rice that they put down there in a clay to make a porridge at the end. That porridge is as tasty as you can imagine!
so here we go...
Each of the seafood / dish has a specific cooking time, with a timer reminding you that the food is done, so that they won't overcook. To start, you need to get yourself a bowl of soy sauce, along with green onions, ginger, garlic etc... For this speccific dinner set, it also comes with an order of sashimi - the highkight of the sashimi has to the Japanese Herring Sashimi (the yellow thingy on the Sashimi dish), which I have never tried before.
after the appetizers, here you go the main dish...
Strimp (4 minutes)
Clams (4 minutes)
Scallops (4 minutes)
Lobster (5 minutes)
Pork and Sqiuid Meatballs (5 minutes)
Rockfish (5 minutes)
Thin Cut Pork (3 minutes)
Chicken (6 minutes)
Other general vegetables for Porridge (4 minutes)
after all these hard work...
here you come the porridge... Believe it or not, it is so tasty to a point where we need to finish it!
Wayyyyy too much good food here in Hong Kong, I think I am going to end up gaining say a good 5-10 lbs after this trip. We will think about diet tomorrow!
Look forward sharing more with you about our trip in Hong Kong!
I am always so surprised to see corn on Chinese menus! In the U.S., we think of sweet corn as something that Americans enjoy, but somewhat of a "common" vegetable that we don't expect other places in the world would appreciate. Nice fresh sweet corn is delicious, but the canned variety is pretty terrible.
Do I also see kabocha squash on that plate? This is basically identical to what we call "buttercup" here in the U.S. It has always been my dad's absolute favorite, and we grew it every year in our garden growing up. My parents always just steamed and mashed it with butter. As an adult, I had it as part of a tempura platter for the first time - wow!
I love Asian food and can't wait to see your other posts!
Look forward sharing more! We got more food coming up!! Sweet corn is pretty much Ina lot of our dishes, we use it on soup, main dish, desert...
