stenoodie

January 15, 2019:

We dropped by Green River Restaurant (翠河餐廳) (apparently one of many branches — this one at the Mong Kok location across from Langham Place). It is a two-storey restaurant and open 24 hours.

(The name of this restaurant makes me think of the song “Moon River”. I can’t help but sing the first few verses of the song’s chorus in my head when I see this name. XD)

We went inside and after telling them our party number, decided to head upstairs to there were more seats. The first floor space only had a couple of booth seats.

Vegetarian Buffet at My Meat Run Buddy

January 14, 2019:

I really love exploring new vegetarian restaurants these days. Thus, we checked out “My Meat Run Buddy”, a direct translation of the words “走肉朋友” which is a pun in Chinese. It was a vegetarian all-you-can-eat buffet and they had good online ratings. One of the reviews mentioned a 90-minute dining time only though.

Hing Noodle in Tai Kok Tsui

January 14, 2019:

We came to Hing Noodle (慶麵) for lunch. It’s an award-winning noodle shop that also features saliva chicken and pepper pork buns.

There were lots of people crowding around the doorway when we first arrived that I mistakened it as a line-up. It turned out they were just reading the menu outside the restaurant. Once they piled into the restaurant, we did too.

Dinner at Nanjing Impressions in Shen Zhen, China

January 13, 2019:

For dinner in Shen Zhen, my relatives brought us to Nanjing Impressions, a restaurant inside KK Mall. They had been here a few times before and recommended it due to the good quality and variety of food. Apparently, it gets very packed here by 6 and 7 p.m., prime dinner time, and the wait is up to two hours. To avoid having to wait, we arrived at Nanjing Impressions at 4:30 p.m. to get a table for seven.

Little Noodle Shop in Mong Kok

January 12, 2019:

We passed by this tiny shop (小麵站) selling noodles on the street in Mong Kok and I was instantly intrigued and wanted to try it. There were a good number of other people crowding around and taking an interest at the shop too. The little bowls of noodles in the fridge looked so appealing. They sold hot soup noodles too with various toppings. Apparently, their noodles were $30 HKD and up only. We decided to try.

Reflexology at Cheerful Foot Spa Centre (知足樂)

Cheerful Foot Spa Centre (知足樂) storefront

Cheerful Foot Spa Centre (知足樂) located at G/F, 184 Lai Chi Kok Road, Kowloon in Hong Kong

January 11, 2019:

When looking for Tim Ho Wan the other day, we passed by a lot of ground level foot massage places. We prefer ground level massage places rather than ones where you have to go upstairs to a second floor or higher because you never know what goes on in unseen places (or so I’m told). We wanted to get a reflexology session to ease our sore feet and legs after walking nonstop each day so far on this trip.
