Hong Kong 2009 Day 3


What is Hong Kong without dim sum? We passed by a dim sum restaurant around our hotel and decided to give it a go.


Awaiting for breakfast! Oh yes, we were starving!


Charsiew cheong fan is a classic dim sum dish that is tough to get it wrong. Fresh char siew, not too thick cheong fan skin. Excellent.


Stir fry bee hoon - Quite a weird dish to start off the day? This dish isn't the star performer for us.


Custard buns - Nice!


Very fat har gao (Prawn dumpings)


Chicken feet - this is another classic dish that you shouldn't miss. Heavenly!


Charsiew buns - These buns didn't quite work out for me as it's a tad dry and the skin is too thick for my liking.



The custard buns were so good, we could not resist taking more photos of them. You can taste the salted egg yolks in the custard that gives it the distinctive sweet and little tint of fragrance saltiness.


Steam carrot cake - We actually ordered this wrongly as we wanted the pan fried one. But surprisingly it didn't taste too bad and it's definitely a healthier version.


Siew mai - Must order! The fillings were so "happening"! Big prawns, fresh minced pork, what else can you ask for?

We were off to Disneyland today!

Waiting for fast food...


Coffee time...


I felt like taking the cups home!


The wings aren't too bad.


Pretty decent fries.

Off for dinner at some chze char store recommended by Hong Kong friend.

Stir fry eel - Nice wok hei and seasoning was just nice. Must order!


Oyster egg - I don't eat oyster but the egg portion was yummy.


Stir fry four season beans - A bit too overly cooked.


Fried squid - This is the winner for dinner, nice tasting batter with hints of salted egg yolk on the coating. Arrived to the table piping hot and gone within minutes!


Mayo ribs - Very rich and creamy, ribs were cooked just right.


Black bean bamboo clams - The clams were cook just nice without being too chewy and the black bean sauce goes really well with jasmine rice.

Great dinner with great company!

Is the dim sum restaurant located at Tsim Sha Tsui? I remember going to one where they serve heavenly custard buns. =)
