Herbs discovery journey at Meyer cookware in Hong Kong

I was really glad to be invited by Meyer cookware in Hong Kong to participate in a herb discovery session which everyone can go along and check it out because there is a herb garden with stations where you can create your own herbal tea bags and seasonings for chicken wings.

Herbal tea station:

Herbs station to make chicken wing seasoning:

In the middle, there are some jars of dried herbs which you can smell.

This is a really good concept because fresh herbs and dried herbs are not as easy to access as other countries and people are not familiar that there are so many other herbs you can experiment with.
As well as herbs, a full showroom of their products are available and they also have vinegars that you can try.

Our first activity was Masala Chai where we learnt about the herbs for the tea and got to make it ourselves.
I didn't put a lot of the herbs but the taste was really strong but the sweetened condensed milk toned it down.

Next we made pasta with Eric Cheung, a food designer.

I chose to make basil pasta.

Making pasta was made easy with Meyers non slip bowl and the flexi spatula which can mimic the palm of your hand when pressing the dough.

We also got to try the cooked version of pasta which tasted good by simply stir frying it with onion and adding salt and pepper.

Conrad curry buffet at the Lobby Lounge

Tried the afternoon tea buffet in 2010 but I wasn't impressed with the service because the staff were stuck up with people who don't have a platinum card as reviewed on openrice.
Anyway, my aunt took me here for my mums birthday and was surprised that as a blogger I didn't know about their curry buffet but then no one has really written about it on openrice so I won't even bother to write about the curry even though I always comment there.
The curry buffet secret is safe here because Hong Kongers don't really appreciate a good Indian authentic curry.

The staff were still a bit stuck up like before but my aunt said they were part of the Hilton group but sorry I don't know you guys.

Anyway, the curry was bloody good especially the South Indian dosa and coconut chutney which I had twice.
The guy who made the dosas was quite intimidating and he didn't seem to give a sxxt when you complimented his dosas.
It was strange because when he gave me mine it was cut in half but the one my brother got wasn't sliced.

It is really good that there is another option for curry buffet as well as Dickens.

Our lunch ended with a delicious rhubarb crumble which was found in the dessert section but they didn't have custard.

Hardcore crispy black tofu at Huo Gong Dian, Macau

There is a famous crispy tofu which is smelly and at Huo Gong Dian they serve a black version of this tofu.
I don't quite know why it is black but it tasted nice anyway, there isn't any unpleasant taste even though it smells.
It just tastes like normal crispy tofu!!

We also had the braised pork belly which has even layers of fat, a popular dish in the East.

Staying at the 5 Star Galaxy hotel in Macau

I have always wanted to stay at the 5 Star Galaxy hotel in Macau because I just love this resort especially the floating diamond at the entrance and the Grand Resort Deck which guests of Galaxy Hotel can access.
My hotel room access card was really pretty because it was in my favourite silver colour.

The room was impressive and big with a view of the Skytop Wave Pool.

There is a bath tub which is a must for me.

By the bath, there is a tray of accessories which is beautifully presented like a jigsaw containing a sewing kit, razor and shaving cream, toothbrush and toothpaste x 2, shower cap, cotton buds, cotton pads, emery board and a comb.

In the cupboard are slippers and bathrobes.

The hairdryer is a decent powerful one by Vidal Sassoon.

There is shoe polish but they also have a complimentary shoe polishing service as well which takes an hour.

By the bed, there was an alarm clock which was really useful for people like me!

The complimentary refreshments was quite good because they had cup noodles, Pringles, teas and coffees.

Here are pictures of the Grand resort deck which I am definitely coming back again for because it was too hot that day.
