So you all believe that the only thing that I eat when I eat at local restaurants here in Hong Kong are Singapore Rice Noodles.
Below is a map of the HOMY INN area here in Kowloon.
Ebeneezer's Restaurant on PRAT AVENUE is the focus of this Post. The HOMY INN is on HART AVENUE one street away from and below PRAT AVENUE on the above map.
Kind of below the Circle K sign is a line of six red globes located on the front of the building on the left side of the photo. Below the third red globe is the colorful A+ Restaurant marquee.
When Patti was here in Hong Kong with me .. we two really enjoyed eating at the A+ Restaurant you see below.
On the other side of Prat Avenue is a McDonald's that is located almost directly across the street from the A+ Restaurant.
On the left of McDonald's (above and below) we have Ebeneezer's Kebabs & Pizzeria.
If you look carefully at the left edge of the above photo you can see that there is an entryway that I show below into a building lobby.
Odd how things happen. I went into the Multifield Plaza to use their public restroom. I have done this countless numbers of times because many restaurants in Hong Kong do not have restrooms. To compensate for this shortcoming they have working agreements with neighboring buildings to provide their customers with toilet facilities.
Why this entry into and exit out of the Multifield Plaza lobby was different I shall never know. Was it because I was hungry (I was hungry!)?
For the first time in over two months of passing by the below scene many times! .. I NOTICED IT!
MY! Doesn't this look GOOD!
Several additional looks at Ebeneezer's exterior.
Because of the above Parking sign one can not get a good straight-on photo of Ebeneezer's!
Well! You CAN get an excellent straight-on photo of said sign!
Hi There Parking Sign!
Now let's go inside for a look-see!
Very nice ambiance indeed. Comfortable. Low Key.
What's in a Menu? In my opinion the below Menu says-a-lot about Ebeneezer's!
YES! I am going to stay and order a Greek Salad!
Oh My THAT was good!
Waiter! My Good Man! Please bring me an order of your ..
OH MY!
Oh My Patti .. I think you would like Ebeneezer's!
I had finished my two entrees and was just chilling out and relaxing when a pair of elders came to join me sitting down at the table on my left.
Tall and well proportioned .. The gentleman (John) had just run a 'Half-Marathon'. He and his wife (Connie) had then dropped into Ebeneezer's for a well deserved meal break.
And we three began to talk and to talk and to talk some more. The two of them have been in Asia since 1970 when they left Oregon to venture out-into-the-world.
John asked me how I stay-in-touch with Patti. So I dialed up Patti on my cell phone and Patti and Connie and John had a pleasant chit-chat!
Connie! Your meal sure looks good!
Then Connie 'passed the cell phone off ' to John ..
The pen marks on John's left palm are his 'splits' for the 'Half-Marathon' he'd just run.
What a very attractive couple the two of them are. If I had to guess I would guess that they are of Scandinavian ancestry. They are in their early 70's.
John is a Man-Of-The-Cloth. We three had much to chat about. John and Connie live in the New Territories North of Kowloon. John has learned written and spoken Mandarin and gives sermons in Mandarin.
Our meeting and engaging visit of almost an hour has stimulated my interest in going to his town .. Sha Tin .. on the Hong Kong MTR to expand my knowledge of the New Territories and to perhaps renew our new acquaintance.
We three agreed that our visit was providential.
While in India I often write .. "Do you all see what I love about India?"
I may add to my tune!
"Do you all see what I love about Hong Kong?"
Blogspot is very happy that I have put up a new Post only four days after my last Post on January 21st.
Smiles and More Smiles .. Cap ..

After speaking to you last night while you were at Ebeneezers, it was fun to actually "visit it" myself through your pictures and to put faces to John and Connie, who I spoke to while you were there. I can see, from the picture, why the Chicken Tikka Biryani appealed to you...looks yummy in the picture and on the plate they actually placed before you. The "My Kitchen Prayer" on the menu is very touching...sweet. Hugs! Patti
ReplyDeleteHi My Dear ONE .. So happy you visited this Ebeneezer's Post and liked it. As I wrote in the Post .. it is almost directly straight across the street from OUR A+ Restaurant and right next to OUR McDonalds. And until yesterday .. I had completely missed it .. Go Figure .. Smiles ..
ReplyDeleteChicken tikka biryani in a Hong Kong cafe called Ebenezer's! How fun.
ReplyDeleteI love the kitchen prayer! The food looks phenomenal. I can understand why you love Hong Kong! I love that Patti spoke to the lovely couple during your visit- modern technology is amazing and that you captured it! I also love that John runs half marathons! My first half marathon in Washington DC will be March 14. Maybe I will get my act together and post photos of it and start blogging! Love Reading all of your posts Cap! Grateful to know you.
