TRAVEL DAY 4 – THE PEAK LOOKOUT | 5D 4 N @ HONG KONG & MACAU
After jamming together
with the rest of the crowd who is also visiting The Peak and enjoying the
mesmerizing sunset view before followed by beautiful night scene of panoramic Hong
Kong, the tummy start drumming and that’s when we realized that we have passed
our dinner time, haha.
So to fix the hunger pangs
in a jiffy while hoping the throngs of people queuing for the only tram to go
back down town subside, we decided to settle our meal there and soon head over
to The Peak Look Out restaurant as recommended by the cool Romeo (=
It was indeed a very nice
place to chill out, with soothing environment drenching in warm lights, much
more sensuously appealing especially when gentle breeze comes brushing by. As
the sun has set, thus rendering the surrounding hill area tad dark, but The
Peak Lookout is brilliant enough to make the best use of it- by decorating and
illuminating the enclave with soft candle lights, assisted by some dainty LED
lights that are dangling on the trees around. Pretty cool idea, really……………
The Peak Lookout is
located on the landmark of the Peak, with an open terrace overlooking Aberdeen.
The restaurant retains the History of the 19th Century, when the city was not
so affluent, with nostalgic interior design and a wonderful collection of old
photographs. Over here, guests can expect fine food savoured in an atmosphere
of relaxation and elegance with a warm welcome and friendly service.
And so, after appreciating
the place visually, our food came after awhile. As my poor Lumix has run out of
battery that evening, so we could only make do with handphone camera as assistant
light, hence please bear with the slightly uneven chrome in the picture, hehe.
Have a yen for risotto and
anything cooked the confit way? (=
Alright, the latter’s garnishment
might need some improvement I suppose, hehe.
The risotto is really good
I must say. As how the Italians enjoyed their homey food traditionally, the
risotto rice is well-cooked till 70% to retain that texture appropriately and
cooked with the right creaminess. Decent amount of grated cheese block was
added to enhance the flavor, further enriching the mushroom taste.
Thanks
for all the wonderful arrangements of the places to visit and dine, albeit made
at the eleventh hour as we wish to just go with the flow, instead of just
rushing everything at one go. Guess it was a case of blessed serendipity.
If
given a chance, would love to come back again but preferably during the day
time. I think……….given the bounteous natural lights and set within lush greeneries,
the photos would have been much greater and looks lovelier! As Doris Day says que sera, sera ………
Cheers
