Its our last day in Hong Kong, so we've decided to have dim sum (yes again) before we leave for airport. We went to a random one near the place we stayed in Mongkok. We have come to a conclusion that it is quite save to just walk in any dim sum place cause any of it will taste better than the ones in Malaysia.
Can't remember the name of this, but it's prawns inside
Fried radish cake
Char siu pao - juicy and nice
Har gao
Char liong (chee cheong fun wrap with yao char guai) we've been wanting to eat this but not many dim sum place have it, even in HK.
Custard bun, very nice one of the best I've tried
Don't know the name of this dim sum.. ahah..
Gun Tong Gao - huge dumpling, they pour the soup in when you order, hence the name.
Ham sui kok
Crispy char siu pao
Porridge
The restaurant is upstairs
The quiet street of HK early Sunday morning
There are signboard at every bus stops, giving instruction to what bus you should take and where the bus goes.
This is the second time I have been to HK, I really enjoyed myself this time round. Having to try all the street foods, and visited the places that I have not been to and most importantly going with a bunch of good friends really made this trip a big difference!
HONG KONG! a food and shopping haven indeed..

It has become a customs for the Hong Kong people to 'yam cha' (drink tea), what it mean is to have dim sum with a pot of Chinese tea with family or friends during the weekends. Having watched so many HK series, it has always shown that if you wanna go yam cha you have to take number, queue up and wait for your number to be called for a table to sit.
This dim sum place that we went to, is really crowded and the down side of it is you can't take numbers. What everyone does is wait next to a table, for the customers to finish eating and go then you can sit there. Really stressful exercise. To make things worst, we had to literally 'fight' to get the dim sum when the server push out the dim sum, if you are too gentle, my advice is don't even try to go near there! I must say I did a good job in 'grabbing' the dim sum for my friends... ahaha.. It was worth the effort, the dim sum is really good.
