Giveaway Contest: Four Seasons CNY Pudding
We promised you free stuff and you're getting free stuff -- next up in our lineup of giveaways is a Chinese New Year treat, an abalone and turnip pudding with air-dried meats (okay I'm sure it tastes better than the name implies) worth $288. Obviously these things have expiration dates, so instead of the actual pudding you'll be receiving a coupon to pick it up from the Four Seasons Hong Kong in IFC, Central. We don't have a pic, unfortunately, but it's a three-Michelin-starred pudding, you really can't go wrong, here's a shot of Lung King Heen's dim sum turnip pudding, stolen from FoodNut.com
As usual, email giveaway@hkfashiongeek.com with the subject line "Four Seasons giveaway" and we will use a random number generator to decide on the winner. You have a week to enter, and you can have an extra entry if you RT on twitter (@hkfashiongeek or @hkshoegeek so we know), or join our Facebook fan page (sorry, new fans only, just let us know by email if you've joined). The contest is open to Hong Kong residents only.
And of course, a big thank you and wet smooch to the Four Seasons Hong Kong for the pudding. Art jam or lunch karaoke is on us next time!
Heart to Heart
The Geeks enjoyed their last week of freedom (we both started new full-time jobs this week) by dining out at the three Michelin-starred Chinese restaurants at the Four Seasons Hong Kong, Lung King Heen, stuffing our tummies to the very brim with decadent dim sum. Along with our favourite Four Seasons gal pal, we savoured juicy tidbits (gossip and dim sum) and generally tried to play "ladies who lunch" with uptight hairdos and the whole shebang.
And I've since decided that is the best place to do the gossip girl lunch. Dim sum is normally a family-friendly but kind of sordid affair, thanks to the tacky spectacle of lazy susans and shared chopsticks (I'm not hating, I'm just saying). But at LKH, at least for us, they did it in a sort of European teatime manner, serving the bite-sized pieces to each individual on platters in three rounds. Make sure to ask them to do it that way, it was all very civilized and classy, and the fact that dim sum is by definition small meant we could nosh and chat without every having to reapply our lipstick. Yeah, it didn't hurt that we were eating at the city's only two-time Michelin three-star winner, at the hotel that boasts the only two three-Michelin-star restaurants in Hong Kong. Wow, read that sentence aloud three times fast. It's harder to swallow than a mouthful of dim sum. Mmmmm.
Dim sum means "touching the heart" in Chinese, so doesn't it make sense we gals have our heart-to-heart gabfests at the same time?

Giving Thanks
Thanksgiving is always one of the most underrated holidays in Hong Kong and I'm delighted to hear that the Four Seasons is not one to neglect this festive event. The Lounge will be offering a Thanksgiving lunch and dinner menu on Thursday November 26th. Speaking of underrated, I always feel that The Lounge is also the forgotten sibling at the hotel. I'm not saying that Caprice and Lung King Heen don't deserve their many accolades, (in fact, I just had the most marvelous lunch at Caprice and it's not just because of the company. Check out the Wagyu Beef Shoulder in Red Wine if you are ever there. Utterly divine!) but the burger at The Lounge is also wonderful. If you are in the mood to celebrate Turkey season, check out the menu after the cut.
