Didn't actually plan it as a Hong Kong gastronomy outing, but since I did enjoy the food a lot more than I remember from my first foray 7 or so years ago, that's how I'd like to remember it! I'd like to blast your eyeballs with delicious food pictures too, but there is none to show. Lots of photos of birds, though. Live, not skewered.
Day 1: I love 三多's wanton meen, which also happens to offer great chilli. Business must be good if it's located in the middle of Central (just off LKF) and doesn't open on Saturdays ...!
Day 2: I love Dim Sum ... but not when it's packed to the gills with both locals and tourists. Be prepared for a fight at Lin Heung Tea House!
Day 3: I love Yung Kee roast goose ... but you've got an hour-long dinner queue (of tourists) ahead of you if you don't have a reservation (which locals know to make).
Day 4: I love congee! Came across a place I forget the name of by chance at Northpoint on a rainy morning, something of a HK "fastfood" chain serving great breakfast staples (comfort food) like congee, cheong fun, dough fritters, etc. Ahhhhhh!
Day 5: I love 双皮奶, but why didn't I have any in Macau, from where it apparently gained popularity? At least we did have some Macanese 'fusion' at a small eatery opposite the fire station. If you have a thing for firemen ... the firemen eat here too.
{On a side note ... if you put people in an inn with cramped rooms for days, they can better appreciate hotel facilities (once in a while). This is the day they love Ole London Hotel, heh.}
Day 6: I love 牛腩面 right on the doorstep of YesInn! I love Peking duck too, but evidently not in HK because I've been spoiled by Beijing. I'd still visit Peking Restuarant though, for a traditional (and tasty) HK dining experience - it did seem to have quite a few local fans (and foreign ones) filling its large round tables even on a Tuesday night.
On a parting note - remember the milk tea in Shenzhen? It evidently costs about the same as in HK, even though food in Shenzhen is much cheaper. Let's make informed choices now!
