Finally, after endless nights of getting my essays done, here is the final part of my Hongkong trip. The last day of the trip was dedicated solely for dim sum since my taste buds have recovered from the fever and this is one day filled with massive load of good food I must say. If I can only choose one cuisine to last me for the rest of my life, then it'll definitely be dim sum for it's huge variety available.
Started off with a chinese restaurant right next to Tin Hau MTR because we were starving by the time of the check-out and that is the nearest dim sum joint recommended by the concerige.
Fish porridge
Steamed fish head
Fried beancurd roll and egg tarts
Chive and scallop dumpling, garlic squid with tofu, custard bun, har kau
Spent the afternoon exploring Kowloon area and had more mango dessert from Xu Liu Shan.
Krispy Kreme
Back to Causeway to get some local products from Kee Wah Bakery at the basement of SOGO.
And finally a late lunch before leaving for the airport.
Tao Heung Super 88, centrally located at Winsor House along Gloucester Road in Casueway Bay, is one of the restaurants by the well known Tao Heung Enterprise. The dim sum is surprisingly economical for the standard of dim sum served. My only regret is discovering this gem this late into my trip!
(The address is 6/F, Windsor House, 311 Gloucester Road, Causeway Bay, H.K.)
Very busy despite it being half three in the afternoon.
Fried beancurd roll
Fish porridge
Har Kau, Char Siew Bun, Custard Bun
Garlic Prawn with Tofu
Abalone Dumpling Soup
Steamed Beancurd Roll
Chilli and Salt Toufu
After looking at all these pictures, I am having a craving for dim sum now despite just having it yesterday and despite it being 4.30 in the morning now!
For this trip, the hotel chosen was Metropark Causeway Bay Hotel located at Causeway Way. It is not bad generally although we were given a smoking room despite repeat emails to the hotel that we require a non-smoking one. The MTR is a mere 3 minutes walk away and there are a couple of Cha Chan Ting in the vincity too.
That is the hotel on the right set in a residential area.
We got the habour-view room (if not then it will be a room with window facing the apartments right behind the hotel) and the picture belows shows the view from the full-length window that overlooks Victoria Park and even Kowloon in a clear day. Amazing view.
This trip was an okay trip partially because I am sick for most part of the trip and also bacuse other than the food (dim sum in particular which I enjoy very much), it is just too similar to Singapore.
