Some of the best meals I had in Hong Kong I didn’t get to take pictures of. They included: street food at Tsim Sha Tsui1, dinner at a Western-style restaurant on Discovery Bay2, and brunch at a Shanghainese dim sum restaurant3. However, the rest of the pictures speak for themselves.
Lunch at a tiny but busy Japanese joint near Causeway Bay MTR. They are known for their fatty tuna sashimi.
Lunch at an apartment-turned-restaurant near Sham Shui Po, Western-style cuisine, prix-fixe menu that included appetizer and entree. The dessert (every single dessert on their menu) was compliments of the owner, who seemed to know my friend’s aunt.
Brunch at 霞飛點心拉麵 (Xia Fei Shanghainese Restaurant). Each dim sum item was better than the last!
Brunch at a traditional Cantonese dim sum place, 蓮香樓, Lin Heung Tea House. This was actually the most disappointing meal, I don’t know why this place has such great reviews (is considered the best Guangdong dim sum place in Hong Kong). It was extremely chaotic and dirty, the food was also terrible.
Dinner at a cafe/diner in Lan Kwai Fong. The food was average.
Breakfast at The Brunch Club.
- Curry fish balls, lobster meatballs, sausages, roasted octupus, and deep-fried calamari. With a side of Hong Kong milk tea. [↩]
- Deep-fried seafood platter, soooo good. Pumpkin risotto was also delicious. [↩]
- I got two pictures from it, but the rest of the meal went unrecorded. I can’t remember what else we ordered, other than xiao long bao and shrimp dumplings, but I know there was an order we added at the end that was delicious. [↩]
