First day home


It's Mitchell's first day home. Hope he'll settle in quickly and won't miss his mom and siblings too much.

Mitchell is a blue mitt ragdoll. His birthday is 14/12/2007, which means he's only a little bit more than 3 months old.

New oven test run

Had a test run on the miracle oven/microwave/grill/steamer.

The baguette came out alright. Still need more time to get use to how it works. But what makes it good is the butter...


Also tried the "grill" function. It managed to make "とんかつ" (Fried pork chop) without any oil! Very happy about the idea of able to have a lot of "fry" food...

Nadaman-Shanghai

A lunch set about $100 dollars :-


No wonder it's very popular with Japanese ladies who have small appetite. But all their other set lunches are quite reasonably priced, guess it's because the hotel is located in Pu Dong?

魯一居

Was around the area and eager to try out the restaurant. Not many Shandong restaurant in Hong Kong.

Well, the menu looks more like a normal Shanghai/Beijing restaurant and didn't notice much special Shandong dishes. Would be helpful if there is some indication for the specialties.

Guess we didn't pick the right item...

Stir fried walnut and chicken(醬爆雞丁) - the chicken is alright but some larger pieces didn't have much flavor, also the walnuts are stale, which ruined the whole dish.

Ordered the Shandong fish dumpling and this showed up. When questioned, the waitress told us that the fish dumplings were sold out. Wonder why we were not told when ordering? Anyway, since it's already there and was very hungry, decided to have the pork & vegetable dumpling in chili sauce(紅油抄手) and not to sent it back.

The dishes were all very oily(even the stir fried vegetable with garlic), and felt stuffed after the meal and didn't even feel like having dinner afterwards.

Saw a lot of articles on newspaper and magazines recommending this place, was quite disappointed.
