If you think that the amount of food post in my blog is too much, brace yourself, this post is about the food I've tasted in HK.
I think I'll just have to mention this again and again : I am so damn god grateful to have a local hongkee friend here in HK to guide me to every must-go-spot in HK. Because of this, I am able to feel the very local HK experience to the max !!
Of course not to forget some of my new friends I met in HK. Mostly are Mainland Chinese and Malaysian from NUS, only one or two are Singaporean.
Everyone of them are SO daring and adventurous.
With the spirit of "not afraid of getting lost in a foreign place" to explore around HK, carrying a backpack and walk with them for a whole day can be really fun !
I've tasted so much of local yummy food from the first day I stepped in HK until the last day, carried a big bouncy belly back to Malaysia.
All kind of Dim Sum, you name it.
Breakfast stall in Hang Hau
The best Dim Sum ever in HK.
In a Michelin 1-Star restaurant 添好运
Specially thanks to Andy's family
The fast food in HK
Everytime you travel to another place, you mustn't miss out McDonald
As mentioned earlier, there is a McDonald inside the campus.
The menu is not much different with the one in Malaysia.
This is Pork McMuffin.
Seafood Rice Burger
How cool ! Instead of using bread, they use rice. And instead of chicken patties, beef patties or pork patties, this is seafood !
In a popular fast food stall in Hang Hau shopping mall
Dim Sum is too popular in HK. So here comes the Dim Sum fast food.
Where you just have to make order like "drive-thru" at the counter and just get it at the other side of the counter within a minute.
In Hang Hau shopping mall.
Fruits are too boring for Hongkees to be considered as a kind of dessert. Guess what? They have a 4~5 pages of dessert menu in every long-queue dessert shops in every small streets in HK.
The Yin-Yang Soup (or paste? I don't know how to name it)
Very thick viscosity of Black sesame and Almond bowl
In HK's Tong Pak Fu (different from Malaysia)
Tau Fu Fa in Lam Tsuen near Tin Hau Temple in Fong Ma Po Village.
Malaysia's tau fu fa add brown/white sugar syrup for flavouring. Tau Fu Fa in HK add ginger syrup and raw cane sugar. Yellow sugar makes the soft Tau Fu Fa with an additional unique crispy taste.
Jelly made from Chinese traditional herbs
In 添好运
Hot bowl of almond steam egg in Jordan Street
Very soft texture and the taste is just perfect !
(forget about the two models from Mainland China)
6 different flavours of Tong Yun
We waited 1 hour for the queue at this small dessert shop in Jordan Street
The following will be the random food in HK. Since I don't know how to categorise them.
In a Michelin 1-star restaurant in Tsam Tsui Po
The taste, okay okay only lah. Not really worth the money we paid.
HKD100 (about RM40) per person for a group of 12
Si Chuan style frog
The name of this dish in Chinese is quite misleading cause 水煮田鸡 looks like it's quite plain.
But this dish is really spicy ! Quite nice though !
Tai Fu Tai Mansion for lunch: Ping Shan Traditional Basin Dish (Pun Choi)
Look at how big is the portion !
A table of 13~15 still can't finish this basin of dish!
The famous Wan Tan Mee in Jordon Street. Tasty ! The noodle is a little bit harder than I thought it would be.
This small bowl costs HKD30 (RM12) .. expensive !
First time taste Chao Tau Fu in Mong Kok.
Not as smelly as I thought, but it's a bit too oily for me to chew. I threw it away after a few bites eventually.
Wife's cake in Yuen Long Hang Hiong factory.
Love it !
In case you don't know the story behind it : Wife's cake is invented in Soong Dynasty by a poor guy. This guy is sick and his wife decided to "sell" herself to earn money for the medication of her husband. After recovered, this guy invented this cake with winter melon and almond to earn money and "buy" back his wife. So this wife's cake is named after it.
Fresh and hot little egg puffs in Mong Kok. Crispy outside and soft inside. Love it !!
Si mut milk tea in a famous kopitiam (茶餐厅) in HK
Polo Bun
Crispy upper layer and soft bread
Pork Burger
Chicken chop instant noodles
Instant noodles is very popular in HK. Every kopitiam in HK have instant noodles and they name it 公仔面 which sounded very cute.
Simple breakfast in Yuen Long
Pork burger in a Portuguese restaurant in Yuen Long
Totally love it !
The best Portuguese egg tart I've ever tasted.
It's still hot when it is served. Love every bite of it!!
Those food I've tasted in HK.
Don't feel weird, I actually capture photo of every of my meal, which makes me look like a typical-attention-seeking teenager.
But I don't care lah, cause everytime the food is served, I will think of my blog.
I want them to be on my blog as a memory in case I got alzheimer's disease in the future.
Not sure is there anymore post about my life in HKUST.
