A lot of people heading to the same destination for count down. We can't make it to celebrate it at Causeway bay due to the road closure at most of the major links.
There are many standard dim sum selections. Trying them is one of Hong Kong's most rewarding and least expensive diversions. Picture below was taken in the restaurant near my brother house in Whampoa.
As for me, i didn't share her shark fin soup, neither King Fui too. We were busy taking photos with the "rabbit". So hard for us to put the cute rabbit into our mouth.
My favourite dim sum are steamed pork ribs in preserved soya bean and the "golden pau" shown below. I hardly find this in KL. Even though i tried some, but the taste is not as good as this one.
Lucky Dessert House/ 發記甜品:
This is my preferred dessert shop everytime i come to HK. There are a few of Lucky Dessert outlets in HK and Kowloon. As the matter of fact, its dessert quality is one of the best available and it has several signature desserts, including "Mango Grapefruit & Sago Sweet Soup 楊枝金露 $25", "Glutinous Rice Roll of Mango 芒果糯米卷 $32", "Grapefruit & Sago in Durian Soup 榴槤飄香" and "Baked Crispy Roll of Mango 焗芒果酥皮卷 $33".
Sesame Dessert House / 芝麻綠豆甜品屋:
Golden Tripod Seafood Restaurant:
This is the right season to taste hairy crab in HK. I can't wait for the steamed hairy crab to be served on my table! We were provided scissors, a nutcracker, a spoon and a stick. It seem like preparing for a very rustic form of surgery with all those equipments. I'm holding all those equipments wandering how to start the "operation". Actually, to eat hairy carb, one must first scoop off the top, cutting out all the nasty bits, and putting the roe in the little scoop like part of the crab shell.
In fact, the true glory of hairy crab is in the roe, not the meat. Uhmm... satisfied! This is an expensive dinner for 2 diners.
There are a lot of shops selling different categories of hairy crabs along the street in Causeway bay. This is for those who want to cook it at home, not for tourists.
Tai Heng Restaurant:This restaurant is located at Whampao garden and is strongly recommended by the HK food conoseur- Mr Choy Lan. I like the roast goose very much. I can't wait to sink my teeth on the juicy and tender meat.
Hard Rock Cafe:Waoo..hard rock cafe again!!!
pic above: goose liver.
Man Chao Teo Chiew Restaurant:
King Fui suggested to give mum a good treat. End up, we choose this Teo Chiew Restaurant. The captain and waitress provide a very good service. Is mum who choose the dish, not me (busy with my camera)! See what she got...ermm..abalone, sea bass and scallop..All are fine with me. In fact, Teo chew cuisine is also my favourite.
Che Gong Temple:
The locals believe that the windmills can change their luck, to turn the bad luck away. I never believe that!
This stall catched my attention. Check it out!..They are selling BBQ pork, roast pigeon, roast chicken, rost duck, roast goose for take away. I asked the fat boss permission for 3 of us to dine in. He agreed with warm welcome. Frankly said, it's too oily. We didn't finish it.
After back to Hung Hom, i continued my own program to meet my friend for dinner in Miu-Kai Street/Temple street. (香港庙街). Temple Street is a street located in the areas of Jordan and Yau Ma Tei in Kowloon. It is well known for its night market and the busiest flea market at night. The night market is famous for its snacks and roadside dining, which serves local street cuisine.
The weather is cold and dry. Towards the end of the December, the temperature is dropping everyday. Mum was complaining of sick and headache due to the cold wind. And i am lucky to return to KL before the temperature get worst.
LAMMA ISLAND:
Beware of the time to embark the ferry to HK.
