Hong Kong Chow-down Part 7


Last day in HK! We decided to split into two groups to explore our own itineraries. Kenny and I had a quick breakfast at a local coffeeshop. We loved HK cheong fun so much that we had to order another plate.


Also a basket of 'Ma Lai Gou' ( steamed cakes). It was so hot it misted up my camera lens. I've loved steamed cakes since my childhood, they are so fluffy and comforting.


Who can miss a cup of HK milk tea whilst in HK? We can't!


For lunch at Tai Yu San, we went for a vegetarian lunch. This is our tofu with mixed vegetable. SOmehow this looks uncannily like something i could whip up in my own kitchen. Blah...


Creamy corn soup! A little salty but i love the corn flavour and its starchy texture. This warm serving is best consumed in an air-conditioned restaurant.


Another dish of mixed vegetables. A very healthy lunch after a long day of scaling the hundreds of steps to the Big Buddha ( post to follow soon).


I've been whining about wanting to try 'Put Chai Gou' ever since i landed in HK. Unexpectedly, this local delicacy was very difficult to find! Thanks to Sixian who stumbled upon a shop in Jordan which sells this and brought it to the airport with her, i got to try it at last! Tastes like a bigger version of Malaysia's 'Wun Chai Gou', but with red bean toppings instead of coconut.
