Posted on January 14, 2019 by stenoodie

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.

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.

We first arrived at the Mirador Mansion building in Tsim Sha Tsui at 12:30 p.m. on a Thursday. This was an old and unkept commercial building. The address on Google showed there being both a ground floor storefront and a first floor storefront.

While in the Tsim Sha Tsui area and passing 2 p.m., we stopped into Yuen Long Bistro (元朗冰室) for some Hong Kong style food. Earlier, we had passed by this Hong Kong style cafe at 1 p.m. and there was a line-up. I’m glad that we were able to get seated right away after the lunch rush hour had passed.

Irvins Salted Egg Snacks in Tsim Sha Tsui

Posted on January 11, 2019 by stenoodie

January 10, 2019:

I had heard all about this “deliciously addictive” salted duck egg snack and was eager to try this out. I love, love, love eating fried fish skins and the fact that these were going to be coated with salted duck egg made me think I would enjoy these very much. (Every post I had seen on Instagram of foodies talking about it raved about it.) For sure, I had put Irvins Salted Egg snacks on my to-buy list when visiting Hong Kong.

This is what Michelin star dim sum looks like! 😀 Despite having a full western style breakfast at 6:30 a.m. in the morning, my stomach was ready and hungry to try some Michelin starred dim sum at Tim Ho Wan (添好運) at noon.  This is apparently one of the cheapest and most affordable Michelin star restaurants you could eat at in Hong Kong and I was definitely all Continue reading →
