January 11, 2019:

After the foot massage, I was feeling a bit hungry so we went to one of the nearby noodle places recommended by the hotel.  This was Ying Kee Noodle (英記油渣麵) and featured pig lard noodles.

Apparently, lard noodle originated from the 60s and 70s as a traditional Continue reading →

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.

January 10, 2019:
We ended up at this Hong Kong style cafe/restaurant called Wing Hei Restaurant (榮熙茶餐廳) for dinner. When browsing for a restaurant to eat at the first night, I had already noticed this restaurant since there was a promotional picture of an eel dish and it piqued my interest.

Lining up at Jenny Bakery in Tsim Sha Tsui

Posted on January 12, 2019 by stenoodie

January 10, 2019:

An acquaintance of ours asked us to purchase a tin of cookies from Jenny Bakery (珍妮曲奇聰明小熊) to bring back to her on our visit to Hong Kong.
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.

January 10, 2019:

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.

January 9, 2019:

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 →

January 8, 2019:

My first vegan restaurant in Hong Kong on this trip!!  I love inventive vegan/vegetarian restaurants where I can increase my intake of veggie consumption while at the same time trying new meatless recipes.

I found Green Common as a recommended vegan restaurant in an online article.  Green Common has several outposts in Hong Kong and this one that I went to was located inside an “upper street” mall called The Forest in Mong Kok (basically, you go up a flight of stairs/escalators and arrive at an indoor mall with shops.  It had a hipstery vibe from even walking into the mall.

Congee and Rice Rolls at 新海粥品

Posted on January 9, 2019 by stenoodie

January 7, 2019:

After the relatively small meal at Genki Sushi, we followed up with some simple congee and greens at 新海粥品, which was nearby our place. Another congee place, Master Congee, ranks better in terms of reviews and ratings but I had dined at Master Congee before and wanted to try another place.
