Glorious Food from HK

Some pictures all the way from HK to tease your eyes with.

I actually felt bad eating the poor, frail quail

It's been a while!

I'm back from the land of roasted meat and glorious dim sum and desserts.

Always important planning for food while holidaying there because many of the HK eateries either serve overly saltish food or expensive fare. A bowl of rice can cost 10-20 HK dollars there, the equivalent of 2 to 4 S$. Quite ridiculous but thats how the cookie crumbles.

Milk pudding from Yee Shun Milk Company off Nathan Road.

If you have IFC Mall on your itinery, drop by Honeymoon Desserts which has a massive menu of chinese desserts to choose from. One of the best desserts ever tasted is their Thai glutinous rice balls in vanilla cream with mango. (in the middle of the picture below) Their mango pancake was also unique and scrumptious to the last bite.

I think you can point out which is the Thai black glutinous ball in vanilla cream and the mango pudding.

Other than desserts, my only meal time recommendation is this dim sum place called Maxim's Palace.

3rd Level, Low Block, City Hall, Connaught Road Central and Edinburgh Place. tel. 852/2526 9931. Dim sum HK$17-HK$29 (US$2.20-US$3.75). AE, DC, MC, V. Daily Mon-Sat 11am-3pm, Sun and holidays 9am-3pm, for dim sum. MTR: Central.

Be prepared to wait for at least 1 hour if you dont make reservations and if you are there on a weekend. But once you are seated, the food is fast. Dim sum ladies will come round tables with trolley in tow telling you what she has in her trolley. Get her attention if you want anything shes offering. It's a fantastic style of serving food actually.
