Seng Kee 生记粥 congee ~ Tseung Wan @ Hong Kong

Traditional Hong Kong congee.  Must try in Hong Kong. 

Directions: 

G/F, 7-9 Burd Street, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

Alight at Tseung wan MTR.  It's a side lane.  Ask around or look out for lunchtime crowds.

Check out the long lunch time queue for takeaway (right) and dine in (left).

Opening hours.

Menu and pricelist.  Oh, they have a new branch somewhere.

A small space for dine in.  Got to share table.

Fried fish cake as starters.

Gluey porridge with generous servings of fish stomach parts = Yums!!!

Exploring Antique street and cafés ~ Tseung Wan @ Hong Kong

Antique door locks that spell nostalgic.  I shall get one for my dream house.

Check out the different brushes on the bottom right corner, all made from nature's produce.

More antiques, gramophones, lamps and telephones of all types inside the corner shop.

Rice store selling rice in barrels, first encounter.

Chic Cafés lining the streets.

We finally settled in on this cafe at the corner of Holiday inn Express hotel.

Maybe it's because the view from outside to inside spells cozy.  Maybe it's because there were barristar awards displayed.

Or the elegant patron at the counter ushered us in.

The latte goes well with freshly baked Portuguese egg tarts bought from across the street.

More cafés which we along the way with interesting shop fronts and interiors.

Found this gem.

Calligraphy talent.

A live performance.

The end product.  One of the best things with travel is to discover what's not on itenary and bring back memories that's unique to your trip.

Tsim Sha Tsui eateries @ Hong Kong

We stayed at Tsim sha tsui - Butterfly hotel this round because they have bigger rooms fit for 3 to share with ensuite bathroom that's roomy enough too.

Typical view of HK apartment with a red and white top taxi in the forefront.

Chui Wah 翠华tea house fishball noodles

Hong Kong milk tea in the cute cup suited to be the cast of Beauty and the Beast tableware.

Favourite piglet buns - crisps outside and soft Center with butter and condensed milk.

Ya kun coffee shop in HK.  We had to try on our last day because we were puzzled by the long queue as we pass the corner shop each day.  When we checked with our friend in HK, they say they visit the place too because of the reasonable pricing and I reckon to get a taste of Singapore ~ home.

Steamed kaya bread.

Mee Siam with Singapore taste.

The queue at 放牛牛 ice cream was so long that we decided to try it on our last night in HK.

Interesting menu and crowd

Cafe beside 放牛牛

Another favourite haunt for breakfast, porridge, yam cake and dough fritters (very crunchy) are huge servings and great!

Love the lunchtime crowd, all the bustle.

Love Hong Kong thin noodles.
