As local as you can get - Fu Sing

Today Tuen Ng festival (Dragon Boat) and Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say we go swimming or row boat.  I say no way, too windy make my hair no good looking and the sun no good.  I no like wearing long sleeves swimming suit like Middle East girl.  What they call it, Burka?  I no like sun neither.  I no want get freckles.  Laser make my skin red for one week. 

He insist and we went reservoir to row boat.  We walk up hill and saw a big white Alphard park right outside entrance.  Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say we call police to tow car.  I say why?  They so grand. He should do same for me instead make me walk up hill. Selfish?  What selfish?  I was already angry to walk up and saw Alphard family make me more angry.  They have Philippines helper row boat when fat children sit there to eat.  I said to Sweet Sweet Boyfriend.  You like row boat, you row!

I no in good mood and Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say we leave early for dim sum in Causeway Bay and if I good, he take me Bottega in Time Square to buy new hangbag.  Nothing too exciting at Bottega this season but girls in office know it is Bottega.  

We went to Fu Sing and get table close to entry.  They no have stool for handbags and I put my Anya on chair.  Place not grand.  Reception area no pretty like IFC place.  I worry food no good but I saw big board sign by many famous people including models like Kathy Chow.  If she eat at Fu Sing, I can too. I will still be size 2.

First thing was Char Siu.  This one texture soft with big piece fat.  Like all stylist girls, I take fat out and Sweet Sweet Boyfriend took them.  Char Siu very sweet and juicy.  Best part was sauce.  People say fat char siu no good.  I say no good too but reduce damage, you no eat carb together.  All movie stars, singers and models in HK no eat carbs. I usually no eat after 3pm but now is Summer, I may go no carb like them. 

We had fried chicken wings with shrimp paste.  It like Greyhound Cafe.  Chicken wings cut in halfs.  Who come up with idea first?  This one very good. I like it more than KFC,  Very crispy skin but soft meat inside.  Taste very good.  Shrimp paste taste better than smell.  Very local food.

I say no eat too much meat but no carb. So we got crispy tofu.  It's nice texture but the taste no as good as chicken wings.  No special...err... pinch? Punch?  Kick?

We got wonton in fish broth; first no deep fried dish.  Wonton so small and only pork inside.  I say why no like Jim Chai Kee in Central?  They wonton big like a golf ball and this place no Mak's noodle with tiny wonton either.  Too much skin and so too much carb and thick when bite.

I say Sweet Sweet Boyfriend go crazy.  Deep fried again. This spring roll no come with Worcestershire sauce.   I say no no that's no alright. Then I saw honey lemon on plate.  Quite different from normal.  Filling nice and skin crispy. Interesting spring roll.

Finally har gau arrived.  The skin so different from that grand one at Cuisine Cuisine.  This one no clear see through and no stick to chopstick and breaks. More bamboo better, no? Balance diet

Meat in tofu sheet (Seen Chuk Guen) - This one is not just pork.  It has a bit of everything, shrimp, pork, mushroom, vegetable.  Very nice texture and tasty.  I no know why people no like it.  Seen Chuk Guen very good taste

Char Siu Pineapple bun.  The crust nice but it no look like pineapple??  The bun is hot when they serve.  Quite nice and soft.  No hard bottom bun

Steam Char Siu Bao. Bun fluffy and char siu not just fat but no orange sauce inside?   No like other char siu bao?   The top of bun no yellow dry spot.  I said "with no spot, how you know it's steamed?"

Last dim sum came.  Fried rice roll in XO sauce.  So full and couldn't eat.  I worry too spicy and bad for skin but it was no strong.  Sweet Sweet Boyfriend no like it too much.  Say no char on rice roll and not enough spice.

We got free dessert.  Mango and sago cream.  No as good as before.  No coconut cream.  I so disappointed.  France Foody Woman use coconut oil for hair, skin and cooking.  It so grand and must be good and now they no give me coconut cream!?

Place so local with TV on wall.  Manager come over say hello and said "All our dim sum are made here at the restaurant. Lots of other places just steam theirs at the restaurant;  their dim sum are made in central kitchen or even China".  I no know dim sum made in Central.  That's so grand to have Central dim sum.  Hmm... Fu Sing so local even dim sum made locally.  They should learn be grand.

Lupa, not the wolf but the restaurant

I go open party of Lupa with Sweet Sweet Boyfriend and his foody friends.  I took picture with the fat chef and I no know who that is.  Foody Woman say "Lucky you!  That's Mario Batali, the Iron Chef, one of the partners of Eataly.  You know that, right?"  I say "Of course!"  Why Iron Chef not Cast Iron Chef?  Sweet Sweet Boyfriend said Cast Iron pan very good...  Eataly?  Isn't it Italy?  Hmm....

And boys and girls fan, sorry!  No show my face because I need anonymity (or is it annoyance?  I no know which word. Sweet Sweet Boyfriend no teaching me good) as food blogger! 

Anyway, many Foody people write about Lupa and I need to go.  After all, I am grand food blogger.  How I no go for review?  So,  I went with girlfriends for lunch.   I remember what those Foody friends of Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say about food writer, they no go bling bling. So, I took my Tod's Bauletto that Sweet Sweet Boyfriend bought me.  I no see too many in HK yet.  

Restaurant say very grand place in New York City but service just ok in HK.   Place too big and long walk to table and have to see many people.  We went to table and Huh?  They no have stool!?  No stool!?  They really lucky because I go with two girlfriends and we put bags in one chair.  Not grand but at least no on floor.  

Lunch is buffet and you add money to add main and dessert.  I pick lots of salad because I eat healthy like all stylish people.  I no understand why they no cut arugula.  So long and difficult to cut.  The arugula must  be good though because taste so much stronger than one form super market.  I also ate beet root, cold cut and cheese.  All ok texture and taste fresh.  

I no know what to eat for main and ask recommendation. Waitress said try Garganelli with Oxtail Ragu.  Oxtail slow cook.  I say slow cook very good. Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say meat slow cook good texture and juicy.  Pasta texture good but oxtail not strong taste enough.  The orange too strong and no oxtail taste left.  

All girls, even on diet, love dessert.  I go spinning class and ask my personal trainer to increase my weight from 2 lbs to 3 lbs but I need eat dessert.  I went to dessert table and got lemon tart, meringue, apple tart, cheese cake and chestnut mouse?  Everything so soft and cute.  Sweet Sweet Boyfriend will no like apple and lemon tart because base soft and no char but I ok.  I did not finish lemon tart because night before, I ate best lemon tart by Foody Baker Woman and I no eat any lemon tart not as good.

Restaurant ok but I ask Sweet Sweet Boyfriend take me New York to eat at real Lupa so that I can say "I ate at NY one!"
