Eating business in Hong Kong and China

As mentioned in my previous post, I've been on business in China and Hong Kong. some of the gastronomical highlights, not that we had much time for anything but work, were:

AQUA - Hong Kong

Located in Kowloon's new designer fashion capital, One Peking Road, Aqua redefines destination dining with its ultra-stylish interiors, stunning harbour and city views, and its innovative combination of Italian and Japanese cuisine.

Aqua presents to the right of the sultry, mirrored entrance, Aqua Roma, a contemporary tribute to Italian style with seamlessly tiered banquette seating that guarantees an uninterrupted harbour view from every table.

Dinner was courtesy of Shaz and her team from Home Habitz, with the ever charming Sunny, their Hong Kong agent playing perfect host.

We started with a shared platter of super fresh, well prepared sushi - Yum!!!

Whilst the ribeye steak proved a popular choice for mains, Shaz opted for the pigeon breast which sounded and looked scruptious, Shirley had the sundried tomato pesto on Penne and I chose the Slow braised Beef Cheeks served with Sweetcorn Polenta, seared Foie Grass and Porcini jus. Heaven - yes the Aqua way!

The G @ the Grand Hyatt - Guangzhou

Located on Level 22 and famous for its steak and seafood, grilled to perfection in wood-fired ovens, G is a stylish and contemporary restaurant with panoramic views of the city’s new Central Business District.

We started with a sumptious, crisp Ceasar Salad, accompanied with one of the most surprising whites I've had in a long time, an Oyster Bay Savignon Blanc form New Zealand - double YUM!

Various cuts of steak abounded, with yours truly opting for a simple ribeye with rocket and roasted rosa tomatoes, blanched asparagus and grilled seasonal veggies, all of which I shared with our host Jaya. Thanks Jay, the fare was awesome and the company even better!

On the way home to SA, the ever green favourite for a refeul on a long haul is the Wild Fire in Hong Kong airport, were all is good and the only thing better will be to get home faster!

The burger did hit the spot!! I'll be back to normal posting for the next few weeks.
