A special treat at the Kimberley Hotel for dad's birthday lunch!
Before heading back to Manila, the family headed over to the Kimberley Hotel in order to have a formal celebration of Dad's 60th birthday here in Hongkong.
After a lot of research and bugging countless people on where to eat in Hongkong, my sister and I decided on making a reservation at the Kimberley Chinese Restaurant at the Kimberly Hotel.
Known for their Suckling Pig stuffed with Glutinous Rice, my sister and I paid the restaurant a visit a day in advance to make our reservation and pay the down payment required for each order of Suckling Pig.
Finally, today has come and boy were we excited to try the Suckling Pig! Along with celebrating Dad's birthday of course..
was amazed by their utensil holder haha
Egg Drop Soup
Stir Fried Green Beans with Shrimp and Scallops
the freshest seafood available mixed with perfectly cooked green beans which still had that nice crunch.
Crispy Birthday Noodles
and there it was.. The Suckling Pig Stuffed with Glutinous Rice!
A de-boned 30-day old piglet stuffed with glutinous rice which is then rolled tightly and slowly roasted until the skin is crispy and beautifully golden brown.
Crispy layer of pork skin paired with well-seasoned glutionous rice. The rice actually resembles the traditional flavors of machang which went well with the lightly seasoned, crispy pork skin. It truly is a special dish.
Our very happy party of 6 which finished almost the entire pig..
The treat continuous as the wonderful staff surprised dad with a birthday cake!
We also had some Steamed Custard Buns for dessert..
Also a gift from the maitre'd and our servers.
Sweet custard surprise
Then, we all got an individual portion of the Tiramisu cake which the maitre'd sliced and plated exquisitely.
Our visit to the Kimberely Chinese Restaurant is definitely one for the books! Exceptional service and truly amazing food. Even if you're not ordering the suckling pig, Kimberley offers traditional Cantonese cuisine which is executed beautifully. Using only the freshest ingredients, each dish is served simple and minimalist but with truly amazing flavors.
Thank you to the wonderful people behind the Kimberley Chinese Restaurant for making our visit a very memorable one!
and Happy Birthday Dad!
