Lounging in Hong Kong

So, big Papa celebrated the anniversary of his birth and the family decided to go to a nice restaurant to commemorate the occasion. Of course, being the Chinese people that we are, we had to get Chinese food. Instead of the usual Hong Kong cafes (which I love, don't get me wrong), we went to a relatively more upscale restaurant called Hong Kong Flower Lounge (香滿樓). Last time I was here was way back in the day when one of my uncles was getting married. Besides the embarrassing slide show, the one other thing I remember was the sea bass (鱈魚)which was amazing. So naturally this time, we had to get it again.

Hong Kong Flower Lounge

Overall, this place is pretty decent. It's pretty pricey, so not a place I would go to normally. The service is friendly and prompt about serving you. The food is great if you don't mind taking a hit to your wallet. Got to get the sea bass. It's money with a $. But if you are treating someone to a birthday, not a bad choice to go to.
