Much to learn and much to see. There is no simple answer to how we find out which restaurants to go to. We use online resources such as openrice.com, hong kong food-bloggers such as http://chaxiubao.typepad.com/chaxiubao/ and other sources such as anthony Bourdain's No Reservations Hong Kong. We also just wander around. In many countries other than our own, the meat they have available is prominently displayed in the front window. We look for the best looking, healthiest looking and most flavorful meat. We walk around during the lunch rush looking for restaurants that have lines outside and make notes of their locations to come back after the rush. We look for restaurants that don't have any english signage. If I walk into a restaurant and get a bunch of weird looks then I know I am in an authentic and local restaurant. It doesn't always work out for us but luckily the handicap in Hong Kong is really high as the standards of food here are phenomenal.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14877214091575824436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9160304274029606306.post-88417451226796344052010-02-12T21:10:33.367+08:002010-02-12T21:10:33.367+08:00Thanks for stopping by the International Food Blog...Thanks for stopping by the International Food Blog!
