Hong Kong, China SAR, 23-26 Jul 2009: Food Chronicle
Eats, Shoots & Leaves
Was in HK for another whirlwind meeting. Checked in at the Sheraton, Tsim Sha Tsui. Went for midnight rice porridge meal near Woo Sung Road. Followed by cold red bean soup. Next day, had after-meeting dinner with friends at Sheraton's Celestial Court. Dinner set comprised Peking Duck, Sharks' Fin Soup, Stir-fried Prawns & Scallops, Steamed Grouper, Lobster Noodles, Braised Beancurd Skin & Bakchoi, Mango Dessert. Went to the Peak that night. Dessert supper at Sweet Dynasty. Lantau Island excursion on the third day. Visited Great Bronze Buddha and Po Lin Temple. Entrance fee HKD 23 included free vegetarian snack - incredible deal. Returned to HK Island, checked into midlevels hotel. Dinner at Tsui Wah Canteen, on famous food street, Wellington Road. Delicious Wonton Noodle Soup plus Crispy Fried Prawn Noodles. Herbal Turtle Jelly supper, at Wanchai. Last day, Yum Cha breakfast at Kin Heung Restaurant - feisty waiters scurriedly refilled mugs of bitter tea, while venerable aunties hawked dim sum in pushcarts. Before leaving HK, had Beef Ramen at HK airport. Great with smooth Bubble Milk Tea. |
