From Mui Kee Porridge, we walked to Bute Street, in search of Kam Wah Café to get a taste of the best Polo Bun in Hong Kong.

Day 2:
Mui Kee Porridge, located inside Mongkok Municipal Bulding’s Food Court is famous for their fish belly congee and meatballs congee. It took us quite some time to get here from Nathan Road, with some wrong turns here and there. We reckoned that it is easier to go through Mongkok MTR and take exit B3. Go straight along MongKok Road until you see the Municipal Building on your right. Do not be surprised when you see a wet market, as you take the elevator up to level 3 (but 4th floor in chinese terms, confusing?), Mui Kee will appear right in front of your eyes.
We watched the chef in action as he was busy preparing for our meals. First, he reheated the porridge in an aluminum pot, then the ingredients were placed into another dry pot on stove and the fire flare up around the pot! In the blink of an eye, he poured the ingredients onto the porridge before it was being served to us.

Street snacks seem to grace every corner of Hong Kong. Just keep a hungry eye open and you can find all kinds of snacks only metres away from roaring traffic and cars exhaust fumes. Day or night, most snack stalls are filled with throngs of people.
With plenty of choices available, it was really hard for us to refrain from eating between meals. We reckon that the best street for snacking has to be Dundas Street at Mongkok, with three must try stalls. Please refer to the map labeled number 1 to 3. No. 4 is where you could find some very delicious fish belly porridge while No.5 is a very popular dim sum place. Will post about that later!

1 貢茶 Gong Cha
A very popular milk tea stall at Dundas Street, hence we were asked to take a number and wait for our turn. Everyone is crazy about their best seller – 奶蓋系列 milk foam series, where a layer of milk foam is added onto the tea.
We love Gong Cha for the options given; one can choose the level of sweetness and amount of ice desired. We ordered 奶蓋綠茶 green tea with milk foam and bubbles – 50% sugar and less ice (HKD 14).

17 May
“Baby Seafood’s most outstanding dish – fish cooked over charcoal stove is simply out of this world!” Miss J, our food guide of the day said. It just built a little more onto the already mounting anticipation after we read about Precious Pea’s raves on the fish.
Together with another close friend, we embarked on a journey to Klang, the vicinity of all things sinful – Bakuteh and Seafood. We are basically clueless when it comes to finding our way around Klang but we are so lucky to have Miss J. Having to grow up and live in Klang for many years, she just knows every nook and cranny in Klang.

For our travel itinerary, please click here. Continuing from Hong Kong Day 1 – Australia Dairy Co.
Every traveler must try wantan noodles 雲吞麵 in Hong Kong. Hong Kong people are so obsessed with it that the cooking process of wantan noodles must be strictly adhered to. Other than the oh-so-famous Tsim Tsai Kee and Mak Kee at Central, Mak Man Kee, situated next to Australia Dairy Co., seems like a good choice too. After our satisfying meal of scrambled eggs and steamed milk puddings, we hopped over to Mak Man Kee to justify how good is the highly rated wantan noodles. To kill two birds with one stone huh?
Upon stepping inside, there are the typical booth seats, which almost are the trademarks of all Cha Chan Teng or Meen Gar (noodles house) in Hong Kong. Famous for their predominantly prawn wantans and braised pork trotters, business is brisk even on a Thursday afternoon. Even though we had a heavy lunch earlier, we were still pretty much determined to devote every inch of our stomach space for these goodies.
Simply "US"! Epicureans from Kampung and City. Thus, we are named after: "KampungboyCitygal"
