Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to congratulate myself for my very important discovery that is Ebeneezer’s. Please, people, a big round of applause. Thank you, thank you.
Oftentimes way past midnight when people are already sound asleep in their beds, my stomach is still working overtime, growling and churning and begging for food. What must a fair leader do but to reward her most hardworking body organ.
My search for an all day all night eatery ends when I found Ebeneezer’s. Open until very late (or very early in the morning), and with the Wanchai branch never closing at all, this is vital information for all the tummies working the graveyard shift.
So many hungry hardworking people in Hong Kong!
Donar Kebab
My first taste of this lamb kebab and I know there will never be another like it. The tastiest lamb pieces, bunched up with tomato, lettuce, onions, and generous squirts of the killer Ebeneezer’s sauces, all rolled up into a tight bundle of lamb joy. Ask for extra garlic sauce and medium spicy sauce and you’ll have, hands down, the best-est kebab ever!
Greek Salad with Roast Lamb
We are not pretending to be health conscious people here, but the salads in Ebeneezer’s
are really so good they make carnivores like us venture to the healthy greens. Shades of purples and greens, white creamy feta cheese, black olives, drizzled with magical sauce. And those little brown things peeking out, you know what they are.
Yes, we love Ebeneezer’s lamb that much!
Chicken Tikka Biryani
As if it isn’t already getting the best rating from me, Ebeneezer’s surprises me yet again with it’s great biryani. A generous plate of very tasty spiced fried rice and chicken pieces, big in serving, big in flavor.
Mango Lassi
To complete the whole “we are health conscious people” pretension. It is yogurt, after all.
With cousins Mikey and Monica. See, it’s not me! It’s the genes!
Having workaholic bellies runs in the family.
Fast forward 2 days…
Greek Salad with Roast Chicken
Hello again, delicious salad! You taste so good you even got us Perezes, the most hardcore carnivore clan in the world, in humble submission.
Chicken Tikka Makhani with Chips
It is only because I am out in a restaurant that I am patiently and painstakingly scooping up with fries, little by little, this rich and creamy curry. In the comfort of my own home, I will be gulping this down straight from the bowl and smacking my lips with contentment.
Falafels
The only miss in this honest to goodness meal. Or maybe it is because I don’t like falafels that much to really appreciate these Lebanese balls.
We also order a Donar Kebab and a Chicken Kebab. Sorry, no photos this time. Jill’s chicken kebab is very good, but the lamb kebab is still the greatest on my list. And on Danny’s list too, as affirmed by the moans and other unintelligible sounds that escape his lips.
Extra plate of lamb
Because we just can’t get enough of it.
