Palisades Club: Hong Kong, 12/25/07

Today we had lunch at Palisades Club, a restaurant open for only Pacific Palisades residents. This is a place with decent food priced moderately, and also very close for the residents; I heard that my sisters have been eating here when mom didn't want to cook, so my whole family gave it a try this time.
Most of the entrees, small enough for one person with the exception of rice and noodles, were priced between 40HKD-80HKD (5USD-10USD), mostly because it is offered as a service for the residents. So here is what five people ate:

Shrimp with broccoli


Noodles with seafood

Fried Rice with shrimp

A tofu dish


Sweet and Sour Pork


I enjoyed this meal, and for its price (40USD for five people), it was amazing! The food was not cooked with too much oil, in general quite light. The fried rice did not have much flavor if you wanted to enjoy it just by itself, but it went very well with other dish, especially the tofu.

In the end we ordered another small dish of sweet and sour pork, which was fried just right; the pork was very chewy too. The nice part is that it is a little lighter than typical Chinese food, perhaps because many customers are foreigners.
