Thanks to the economic crisis, Pui Gor, former dim sum chef of the Michelin three star Lung King Heen decided that it is the right time for him to open up a tiny and grungy dim sum restaurant in Mongkok. The piece de resistance, crispy cha siu bao is said to be the best seller (>750 in a day!). Most reviews have warned about the queue, so we got there at 10am sharp, just in time to join the already long queue.

After 20 minutes or so, we were seated at one very secluded corner with a table that can only fit two baskets of dim sum. The restaurant is really tiny, put in more than 20 people and it will literally burst.

H&M which offers “fashion and quality at the best price” is all over Eastern Europe but if that is something beyond reach, you can always find a H&M store in Hong Kong.

I am a happy shopper!

Day 3:

Hilly slopes are everywhere in Central but there is an easier way to get to Wellington Street where the famous Mak’s Noodles, Yung Kee Roasted Goose and Lin Heung Tea House is located. Take the Exit C of Central MTR Station, turn left and walk straight a couple of lanes until Queen Victoria Street, turn left and walk to the start of the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator. The Central-Mid-Levels Escalator travels down from 6:00 am to 10:00 am but go up from 10:30 am to midnight.

After seeing the fireworks show at Disneyland, we headed to City Gate Outlet Mall (Tung Chung station) which houses outlets from esprit, crocs, mango, roxy, adidas, nike etc to do some shopping. It explains why we bought 3 pairs of crocs from HK huh? That would be another post on another day.

We then dragged our weary feet back to our hotel to drop our shopping bags before heading to temple street area for a late dinner.

Other than Hing Kee or Wai Kee (that precious pea tried), Four Seasons, which is just a street away, was doing a roaring trade with all things claypot too.
