I LUV HONGKONG...AND THE FOOD THERE...GLORIOUS FOOD!

many restaurants in HK open as fast as they close. there was this HOM BAO restaurants chain sells very cheap har hmm char...tea @3pm , half price only....now my other hkie pals told me already closed shop....

when in HK, remember these food which are aplenty there but hardly can find here:

1. roast goose serve with the thick vermicelli soup plus cai xin.

2. yum yum...roast pigeons...last time the price was like HK32 or S$7 a bird....the best one used to be located near GARDEN CITY HOTEL IN TAI KO SENG called the SAN SUI WA... they had another one in shatin and also serve a very mean snake soup...seair kang but they have relocated to vancouver...i ate there once when i visited my emigrated hkie pal.

3. the gluey snake soup...only available during cold weather like now....the best one in YUEN LONG....a 2 hr bus ride there from CAUSEWAY BAY...u garnish this special tonic serpent soup with pomelo leaves and fried crispy wanton skin.

4. vegetarian food at poh lian see, lantau island. this one u ve to buy the food voucher and share tables with other devotees there...very fun. can make friends easily...talk and eat...and chit chat again....

5. try all the tim sum there. the curry cuttlefish in curry sauce...the humongous beef balls, the char leong...chee cheong fun wrapped with you tiao with special sauce.

6. must eat lobster there hor...very cheap. try the cheesy long har...or lobster mee in cheesy sauce...very unique.

7. their hk style version of roast chicken....very very shiok. very springgy type unlike our frozen chicken which taste floury.

8. the tai bah tong...their zhar char....very cheap...if u dun mind the hygiene part.

9. try also the teochew style restaurant...try the mantis prawns or nine lew har stirred fried in just garlic and sea salts...very crispy and fragrant....also available the original teochew stinky tofu...with their special sauce dip...

10. the yu dan tong....u know the roadside hawker selling those stick of lok lok fishballs, beefballs, cuttlefish, scallops...very very shiok and cheap.

11. the desserts stall selling the dan nine...or steam milk egg. go for the double skinned type dan nine...very nice. about HK25 per bowl or S$5

12. go to MOSQUE STREET....yes mosque st...the notorious whorehouse location...u get the ping pong ball wantan mee...the wantan is wrapped with solid fresh prawns...and ths soup stock is for real...not ur msg type...but a bit pricey now...about HK18 about S$4 and side order a yao choy...or boiled cai xin in oyster sauce...

13. go also for the steamboat....or any buffet...i tried GARDEN CITY HOTEL...wow lau...the buffet like infinity long man...can't even taste all the varied food...international, jap, continental...like the world food grouped into here....and only like HK220 a pax. about S$50.

14. got car...go all the way to SAI KONG...best and cheapest seafood...they also got hainan pak chok kai..or hainanese chicken...but dunno the restaurant...it's near to a beach...very nice scenery.
