Meals in Hong Kong

This will be my last post about foods that we took in Hong Kong.

Japanese Food - Ootoyo Japanese restaurant (located at 3rd floor of the Shama Serviced Apartments across from Times Square ), good value and good food !!

-My mum and I ordered these Hamburger steak bento set, these was really good !!

- Matcha ice cream, good one !!

- Matcha pudding, simply delicious!!

Dinner at Hotel Rosedale on the Park, Causeway Bay

On the last day, we were too tired to go out to take dinner instead we settled our meal at the Chinese restaurant in the Hotel we were staying. This hotel is a good choice if you are looking for a reasonable rate (around HKD 660/night), clean, free internet and only 5mins walk to nearest MTR station and SOGO.

-Beijing duck, this was not good, the crepe was hard and thick..

-Yang Chow fried rice, nice one

Dessert -you can see this dessert shop everywhere..

-mango pudding with mango ice-cream, not bad !

Avenue of Star and Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong

Avenue of Star which is Hong Kong Walk of Fame located along the Victoria Harbour waterfront in TsimTsaTsui. We were there in the evening, waited till 8pm to watch the light and sound show " A Symphony of Lights"..

-Bruce Lee and Victoria Harbour...

-My favourite Hong Kong singer -Jacky Cheung's handprint.

-"A Symphony of Lights" started sharp at 8pm.

-One should not miss this awesome night view at Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong.

Breakfast and Lunch, Hong Kong

1) Breakfast

Checked with the staff at the hotel that we staying to recommend us for a good "Cha Chan Teng" around Causeway Bay area for our breakfast, he suggested this cafe which just nearby the SOGO shopping mall.


-Pineapple bun (Polo bun), nothing special, and just realized there is no pineapple added even the name called as Pineapple bun, strange huh..

-Thought Hong Kong has the best Milk Tea, but this one we tried was quite dissapointed, maybe we have not tried the best one in Hong Kong.

-kid ordered this sandwich

-Beef instant noodles (gong zai min), not bad

-macaroni in tomato soup, nice one.

-Tsui Wah cafe

2) Lunch

Thinking to take Japanese food for late lunch at Nobu Intercontinental Hotel which Mia recommended, but they was closed because we reached there about 4pm. No choice, we went to a Chinese restaurant in a nearby shopping complex.

-This was the 1st roast goose that we ate in Hong Kong, but the taste just normal only, like those roast duck selling here, quite dissapointed. The menu said crispy roast goose, but the skin totally not crispy at all.
-Sorry, the quality of this series photos are quite bad, because I'm too hungry at that time (4pm), hands keep shaking, hehehe..

-We also ordered crispy roast pork, and this was very good and the skin was super crispy, the best one I have had. And some green veggie and Eel fried with honey , normal only.

- This steamed chicken was not good too, very thick layer of oil, and I can buy 2 bird of chickens for the price that I paid for this plate of drumstick size of chicken..

-we like the chilli sambal served in this restaurant here, very nice.

Giant Buddha and crystal cable car, Hong Kong

Disneyland trip is specially for my kids and visit to Giant Buddha in Lantau Island is specially for my mother.

It was a nice experience to take this crystal cable car

Kids enjoying and experience the magic of the deep blue sea and the lush green mountainside underneath their feet!

Thought it will be tough to climb the 268 steps, but we managed to reach the platform quite easily.

At the end of this trip, Desmond requested me to take his photo with the crystal cable car
