Hong Kong Series: FOOD! Part 2

Let's continue the food porn, shall we?!

Hui Lau Shan [许留山]
If you're going to Hong Kong, you must try this dessert shop! Again, THIS IS A MUST TRY! This is a famous chain dessert shop, you can see Hui Lau Shan all over Hong Kong. It's not hard to spot, they got a big red sign with gold characters! We had one here in Manila, but I think it closed down already.

I always order the Mangoes in Mango Shake and Coconut Milk with Black Glutinous Rice! They also have fruit platters, other mango desserts, coconut desserts, and more! We ate there twice. If I could, I'd have a bowl after each meal, but sadly I didn't! :( Patay-gutom lang ang peg. Haha! Shoti had Mango Sago with sticky rice balls while my aunt had a bowl of red bean soup with black glutinous rice. They have hot and cold desserts and drinks too!

You can ask for a menu in English

Look for this sign!

Do you know the mangoes they use are from the Philippines? :) They even have a 9-course of mango dessert meal!

Golden Dynasty Seafood RestaurantIt was my first time to eat here. We had dimsum! Our trip is never complete without having dimsum with our aunt who lives in Hong Kong. We ordered a lot! My all-time favorite is the beef balls! The rice rolls were good! Everything was good actually! Yumyumyum!

Tsui Wah Restaurant [翠華餐廳]
Tsui Wah is a classic Hong Kong cafe. This is also a must try! This place is always packed and is open 24 hours! Twice that we ate there, we had to wait for awhile for a table. Their food is good, serving is great, you can't go wrong with anything you order. We ate there twice, dinner on the 3rd night and breakfast on our last day! They got Chinese food, pasta, steak, Japanese food and so many more - all with a Hong Kong style twist to it! Click here to see their Top 10 dishes.

Taking our orders! Hi-tech!

Busy night!

Here's what we had for dinner:

Tip: When you eat in Hong Kong, you have to bring the order sheet/paper to the cashier and pay. It's not like here in Manila where we call the waiter for the bill.

Other food I always buy or eat!Kowloon Dairy Milk and Maxim's bread! Maxim's breads are always fresh, they are buttery and soft! Just the way I like it.

Hong Kong's Yakult! It's way better than our local Yakult plus it's bigger and it also comes with a less-sugar variety!

Kowloon Dairy Milk and Yakulit are available in all groceries.

All these food talk made me hungry! I have one more last post for my Hong Kong Mini Series coming up!

Hong Kong: Day 3

Day 3 was shopping day! But first before doing our shopping, we went to visit another relative. My mom and aunt went to the doctor early in the morning, while me and my shoti went to see them after. We had to bring two luggage with us so we took the taxi going to North Point.

After dropping off the luggage to our relative's house, we went to have dimsum! Yay!

After eating, we went to the post office to get some forms for the tax refund thing. Their post office looks so nice and mukhang efficient ang postal system!

After that, we went to pick up mom's and aunt's Chinese meds. Then went around North Point. Shopped a bit in Hang Ten and Giordano and we got pretty good deals on clothes. We didn't went to Bossini anymore because shoti needs to go to the bathroom! We went back to our relative's house to pick up the luggage we left which was now filled with ten cans of Ensure Gold, then rode the tram back to our hotel.

We rested for awhile then me and shoti went out ahead of my mom to check out skate shops (I will do a separate post!) near our hotel. After buying Gong Cha and checking out the skate shops, off to Central we go to visit the mother ship a.k.a. H&M! Wuhoooo! No more photos anymore because I'm focused on buying hahaha! Spent a two hours in there, bought alot for Y, some for me and the BOS.

After shopping, I went back to the hotel, shoti went to TST to check out another skate shop, mom and aunt went back to North Point to pick up another batch of meds. We all met up in the hotel. It was dinner time na but we want to make most of our stay SO we went to SOGO to buy my achi's bilin: buy her maternity stockings! While mom checked the stockings, I went to the baby section.

After SOGO, we finally had dinner at Tsui Wah. Then dessert again at Hui Lao Shan!

End of Day 3!
