Hong Kong 08

Just came back from HK.
Really worn out by the intense "exercise" of eating & shopping.
Now suffering from post-travel fatigue. *haha*
Let the pictures do the talking...
***
Ocean Park - view from the Ocean Tower


The Best Dim Sum I have eaten - Lin Heung Tea House
Wellington Street, Sheung Wan
It has a history of 80 years as the decor tells it as well.
It was packed to the brim and you just ve to find any available seat at any table.
You will also see many eldery men seated there with
their newspapers, tea and one/two dim sum dishes
which occupied them for hours.
Think thats how they spend their daily morning.
High recommended char siew bao, chang fen
& lotus bun with salted egg.
I will definitely go again :)



The crowded streets of Central
where we got a taste of the famous Tai Cheong Egg Tart
& Lan Fang Yuen Silky Milk Tea
(Guess you can see we are always hunting around for good food)


That's the Peak - Reallie nice view of HK


This is also another old famous dessert shop - Yuen Kee Dessert.
In fact, we had a harder time finding this
as the directions given in my guide is inaccurate.
In the end, we actually need to take a tram to get there.
But the trouble was worth it all.
We tried the Sesame Paste with Lotus Seed &
Almond Paste with Lotus Seed. Very smooth & not so sweet.
The owner told us its the 3rd generation already.
100 years of history.




Not forgetting the Mango maddness from Hui Lau Shan.
They have outlets everywhere! :)


Fa Yuen Street
Very good place for shopping :)
Most of my damage came from here. Do check out H&M too.


One of our favourite egg tart - Honolulu Cafe
Very smooth & we had it fresh from the oven...
the juice from the tart actually flowed out!
Thumbs up :)


There are still many more food recommendations.
Too lazy to post the pictures but I can always provide the info.
It was really an exhausted trip hunting for food & shopping places.
My feet is still hurting from all the walking. *haha*
Thank God for the good weather & protection.
:)
