水煮鱼 (Zhuhai)
the manicure shop owner called Hong Yue was a very nice and friendly lady. She owns the shop Hao Bao Bei. Shop has free wifi. We were the last customer, leaving at about 12 am and she showed us the way to the eateries and the spa.
she recommended this place where they have 水煮鱼 (water cooked fish).
we each had a can of Wang Lauji....
the super big pot of water cooked fish...
loads of bones. it was not bad, not as spicy as it looks. the beancurd skin was good.
fried rice...
the fried rice was not bad.

Kungfu (Zhuhai)
i keep seeing this Kung Fu fast food around so decided to give it a try...
ordered a pork dish...
just as i sitted, this lady came in with her child asking me for food. i took a mouth of the food just to try the taste and gave her the rest of the bowl to her.
the meat and beancurd skin was pretty tasty.
she fed the cute little child a few mouthfuls before transferring the food to a container...
den they shifted outside the shop where she kind of continued feeding her...
feel kind of sad for them.
but i realised this lady kind of starting following me when i was in the 7-11.. luckily i made a quick dash out from another door and quickly headed for my manicure.

Australian Dairy Co. (Hong Kong)
Australian Dairy Co.!
G/F, 47-49 Parkes Street, Jordan
packed even though its odd hours...
very good iced milk tea...
AMAZINGLY INCREDIBLE TOAST AND SCRAMBLED EGG!!
like i've said before, i'm saying it again.. its just scrambled eggs but duno why they can just do it SO WELL!!
even the toast! people who know me will know im not a bread person. i feel that bread is a waste of stomach storage space but their toast is just damn goooood. its soft yet the toast makes it slightly crispy and they add a bit of their very nice butter... omg! super tasty!
also shared a bowl of steamed milk with wendy...
incredibly smooth and yummy steamed milk. go for the hot one when you order. its much smoother than the cold one.

Man Kou Fu 满口福 (Hong Kong)
Oka and Eva highlighted to us that dinner tonight will be two places. after the very yummy steamboat and bbq, we headed over to Man Kou Fu.
G/F No. 14 Kai Ming Street, To Kwa Wan, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
For reservations and directions, can call Bang Wong 2303-0978
they have their self made wine...
we tried their plum wine...
it was good. like choya but a little sweeter.
and according to Eva, their speciality here is the hua diao wine steamed flower crab...
the wine was potent and strong!
they recommended having it with the udon..
the udon should be mixed with the sauce. i really liked their udon texture. its apparently self made. its very Q. the sauce was a little too strong for my liking though.
but the crab with the sauce was very good. luckily we had zoie who helped to polish off most of the crab coz the rest of us were pretty full.
centure egg with some spicy cuttle fish and sauce on top...
pan fried eel...
the eel was not bad. crispy on the outside yet soft inside.
the meal was rather expensive though. It was about HKD $600 plus which works out to about SGD $100 odd.

Hong Fu Seafood Steamboat 鴻福海鮮四季火鍋 (Hong Kong)
Eva warned us about walking through a dark dirty path....
and here we are!
G/F, 86 Lok Shan Road, To Kwa Wan
apparently this place was once used to film Internal Affairs!
u get to choose the live seafood...
and they have both steamboat and BBQ. They call steamboat 打邊爐 and they use charcoal for the BBQ and the steamboat!
its all so exciting for myself and wendy. and hong kong is a great place for such things. the weather is soooo good unlike here in singapore. i think in singapore, before we start eating, we would have started perspiring already!
the charcoal they use...
the meat oka ordered...
the bottom right is drunken chicken. to be added into the steamboat later.
the seafood....
the seafood is damn good too! they have clams and bamboo clams and shells and huge oysters!
they also have fish roe!!
and this ....
initially, oka and eva didnt want to tell us what it is.. later she told us this is something which contains the sperm for the chicken or something and i must say, this is damn good. it almost burst into water when u put it in your mouth!
and check out the super huge prawns!!
and super divine yummy soup!!
its herbal and with the drunken chicken added in, the soup was SO DARN GOOD!!
finish eating the clams first and use the shells as a dish to cook the fish roe...
the fish roe is also really good!
really appreciate Oka and Eva for such a wondeful meal!
i found a mini crab in my huge clam!!
the food here is damn good! and the whole meal came up to about HKD$1300 which is about SGD $216. not expensive considering its very fresh seafood and we had loads to eat AND ITS VERY YUMMY!

Tim Hou Wan 添好運 (Hong Kong)
旺角廣華街2-20號翠園大樓2期地下8號舖
we met up with Eva at Tim Hou Wan. Tim Hou Wan is like a legendary place of MUST VISIT for many tourists. Its tip top on my list of MUST VISIT for this trip simply coz i've been to Hong Kong about 3 times prior to this trip over past 2 years yet i've only heard about this after my 3rd trip!
I heard about this place from ah yee and i went on to google about it. WOW. its apparently the cheapest Michelin star restaurant around the world. Entries after entries that i read about this place is nothing but raves AND warnings of the average queuing time of 40 minutes to 4 hours.
was pretty concerned about the 4 hours wait. especially for tourists, to have to spend 4 hours queuing up is really a big waste of time. Diana had previously advised me to reach there by 9am coz they open at 10 am. Diana told me anytime after 9.15 am, i can be prepared to queue for 2 hours (*shudder at that thought*).
luckily for us, Eva got there much earlier to get a queue number....
the queue doesnt seem very long in the picture simply because many people have already took the queue number and left.
they work in a way that....
if u miss ur number by 5 calls, u need to retake a number.
if u suddenly decide to add/minus one pax, u need to retake a number.
they sit you according to the group size who left.. meaning if u come in groups of 3 vs a group of 2, its much easier getting seats if u are a group of 2.
but seriously, u would want a bigger group so you can try most of the items.....
we were number 79.
When 62 was called, we felt that we saw a glimpse of light!
and as the man started calling out the numbers near to us and those people were not around, we were secretly chanting our number in our hearts... 79.. 79!!!
when he called out our number, it was like we struck lottery. or probably happier than lottery! haha we shouted out YAY and u can see everyone cheering us on like we were at the finishing end of the race!
a caucasian said to us as we were walking in to say " eat faster ".. hahaha
we ordered a long list of items! mainly wendy and myself because we have this perception that we really want to try like everything coz we duno when we will have the chance to try it again. i mean, even if we do come back to hong kong, we may not have the time to queue for it!
first to arrive was the century egg porridge...
its got salted egg and century egg. its nice. reminds me of what my mum cooks at home when i was young.
den was the chee cheong fun... excited to try this because they have pig liver chee cheong fun!! the skin for the chee cheong fun is soooooo thin....
i must say, the chee cheong fun is my favourite!
next is the usual dim sum we'd order when we have dim sum... har gao, siew mai, chicken feet and pork ribs...
i hate to say this but.. its all nice but they didnt exactly wow me. i mean it is nice but its not like i cant find this elsewhere.. i think a decent crystal jade one is almost there.
next is another of their specialty.. the char siew por loh bao like thingy...
this was pretty good but again i wasnt totally wow-ed by it.
and the milk custard bun and spinach dumpling...
some other dim sum...
steamed rice...
fried items...
dumpling rice...
desserts...
a whole table of items...
hmmm.. while it was nice, if u ask me, i don't think its worth a queue of 4 hours. But it was cheap for sure. i think we spent about HKD$300 odd for a table full of items which is only about SGD $50. Damn cheap!
and service was unexpectedly good as well.
did meet an irritating taiwanese couple who sat beside us. kind of rude coz they took pictures of our dim sum without asking (which is still fine) and it obstructs our dining and the stupid guy tried to mock and laugh at us for ordering too much. seriously, what business is it of yours? we already kept quiet when he kept targetting our food to take pictures yet he doesnt know how to bloody keep his mouth shut. we don't need your opinon and if we had really ordered too much we can always take away. stupid asshole. i think its so stupid to queue for so long and order only 4 items!
