			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I always end up eating at the same place every time I travel to my usual destination for business. I chalk it up to having no time and no hassle but really it&#8217;s just pure laziness. Laziness to decide where to eat and if the new place ends up being a fluke, you wanna kick yourself in the arse for trying new things. However, I had an urge to try new restaurants this time around on my trip to Hong Kong. My co worker and I walked around our Hong Kong &#8216;hood, Causeway Bay and found a restaurant called Red Ant, tucked in a tiny side street behind Times Square. Their menu taped on the side of the window, full of dishes that play on both spectrum of East and West.,dishes such as Lah-sa with glass noodles and Scallion Pancake Pizza caught my eye. And there were pretty pictures of food on the menu. Yes, I&#8217;m a sucker for visually pleasant things.</p>
<p>Stepping into the restaurant was like stepping into a cross between Tao nightclub in Vegas and Burke Williams. Lots of reds and bamboo textured seating and I swear I heard a fake waterfall somewhere. . But the food made up for the Asiancentric decor.</p>
<p>My coworker felt like noodles so she opted for a prawn cioppino with noodles. Once my eyes landed on the words scallion pancake and pizza, my mind was already made up. I ordered the Peking duck scallion pancake pizza. That is very CPK-esque but I was taken to liking the fact that instead of regular pizza dough, it&#8217;s made with scallion pancake. I have a weakness for carbs that can be both chewy and crispy at the same time. We decided to share a smoked salmon dragon fruit salad with mango dressing. I needed something RAW after all those fishballs on a stick.</p>

<p>As I was still on my infatuations with tomatoes, those cherry tomatoes were sweet and delicious. The noodles were cooked to al dente and there were generous chunks of fresh prawns in the pasta. Luckily, my coworker didn&#8217;t seem to mind as I was only eating the cherry tomatoes. Love that the portions were huge for Asia standards.</p>

<p>Here is my Peking duck pizza on scallion pancake.</p>

<p>I loved the texture of this pizza, chewy, cheesy, meaty, crispy. The chef was smart not to overkill the pizza by adding any other ingredients to spice up the pizza as the peiking duck already had a very powering taste and the slight scallion taste from the dough and the sprinkles just added that kick.  Yes my friend, I ate every piece of this pizza, all by myself. I really like that this restaurant took new approaches to Chinese and Western food without completing reinventing the actual dish. Sometimes a little tweak is all we need to make things fresh. Definitely recommend.</p>
