Don't know where to get your pork knuckle and duck fixes yet not pay exorbitant prices? Wirtshaus Zum Straubinger offers better quality eats over Horfbaunhause Munchen.

Ordered On:
03Oct2016
(By Wing)

19Euros per pax fed 2.
Brothers meal or something.
A mixed meat platter. "Damn good man!" - Wing
Note that its 19Euros a pax but you get an array of everything!
 Ordered On:
17Sept2016

Quater Crispy Duck 13.50Euros

Half Pork Knuckle 13.50Euros

x3 Radlers

Fed3 15 Euros each.

The drinks here are so much colder than the rest of the places visited! The crispy duck is pretty good and the half pork Knuckle is of better standing and quality as opposed to those found in Horbaunhause. Other than that, the way they do their potato balls here are far superior to those had elsewhere. Usually they are starchy gloopy balls, but here, they are pretty decent and more enjoyable! 

Wirtshaus Zum Straubinger is a great alternative go to location for a more private dining atmosphere, offering cold beers and quality eats.

Dubai Fish Market
800m walk from Hyatt Regency

Click here for ABBA location of Deira Fish Market - Corniche Deira, Al Ras - Dubai

The Dubai Fish Market is a stone's throw away from the Hyatt Regency. The walk there in the early morning of summer is bearable and in reality, the fish market itself is quite cool. Because of all the ice needed for keeping the fish chilled, the temperatures are significantly lower.

 300Dirhams for 1 shark

 Huge Red Snappers

Same same but different from Tsukiji Fish Market Japan. The concierge was saying Dubai's best fish market. Some of the species were easily recognizable and some other common varieties were hugely sized!

The assault on the senses from the meat section maybe a little over whelming to some. 

 

The place essentially is a huge wet market like one would see in Singapore. You've got fruits, vegetables, preserves, meat and seafood with an additional section of basic home wares. A short 800m walk to see how the people of UAE get the freshest seafood and produce from. Many of them were buying by the trolley/bucket loads.

Pork, Beef, Vegetables, Meat balls with minced meat, luncheon meat vegetables

 Another Beef Order

Fed 2 350HKD

Damn solid. A strong flame below gets the soup boiling really quick and the dishes came pretty fast. The mala flavors are respectfully spicy, but not overpowering. Subtle yet enjoyable. It definitely is spicy and we went for the medium heat. The non spicy pork been soup was equally good and flavored well. Like many of these hot pot places, where it shines as well is with its array condiments. 

The concoction of vinegar, chili, peanut sauces, fresh spring onions and parsley really help quell the spicy meat and adds to hot pot dishes. Will return again. 

They serve, what I thought to be an appetizer, but in actual fact it's meant to help you with coping with the spiciness of the meal.

"Quality off food over the service (in comparison to Hai Di Lau)" - Gina.
I've personally never had Hai Di Lau, but would definitely consider coming back here for a meal over Dollar Shop. It's got a pseudo traditional feel to it, and with free wifi and ice water
ready on hand, it's a winner. Don't mind returning with more khar khees.

Getting there

Took a cab from Millennium Hong Qiao to location. Each way about 20mins and 38RMB per trip.

PMQ
Small Medium Enterprises with creative startups selling various items/apparel

Click here for ABBA location of PMQ, 35 Aberdeen Street, Central, Hong Kong

PMQ is a re-purposed police station that offers a space for local creative businesses to sell their products. A really interesting place with purchasable art. PMQ is conveniently located in the heart of SOHO and a stone's throw away from Lan Kwai Fong (clubbing area). 

 *Cool fish candles*

*Very nice, all wood watches*

 *Scotch tapes*

One has got to check out every nook and cranny of PMQ. Every single section has interesting sights to behold. Stairways are creatively painted by different artists. Various shops selling cool nick-knacks of which we walked away with some purchases. 

*Cool ice cup*

 *Mahjong soap bars I think*

Its definitely an excellent place for gift ideas, trendy fashion, and unique hand crafted jewelry. PMQ is definitely worth a pop in before going for by- far the best Yakitori joint, Yard Bird, I've been to. Click here for Full review of Yardbird.
