this was our first meal in HongKong, a beef rice at Yoshinoya. yummy!!! anyhow i noticed there is no service charge or goverment tax as what we used to pay here at any restaurants. its already included in the price as they stated on the board, i presumed. anyway, it cost me HKD 14 for this set. cheap??? nah!!!
but she likes it so much... i do, too.
we had our whole afternoon shopping at the 'west Kowloon centre', a HongKong style of shopping centre. since it is not for visitors, there is no branded galleries or boutique here. then our next destination, mongkok. three main streets here; the 'sai yong choi' street for the latest gadgets (but mostly handphone shops), ladies' street and the garden street for sport wears.
food....
we spotted a lot of the food stalls selling the fish balls, beef internal organ and the 'chau taufu'. but we stopped by to try on the famous fish balls. spicy or not spicy one???
everyone wont miss the food stalls over here. just follow the smell, one will definitely reach to any of the stalls. stinky smell... from the famous 'chau taufu'. tried it, but not nice.... tasteless.
the ladies' street is something like our petaling street. it is meant for the visitors. lousy shirts, some HongKong souveniers, girl's accessories etc... do you notice their roofs are so high up? two stories high...
it was monday that day, but there were so many people there. not only guilos (visitors), there were a lot of hongkies there, even until late night. just wondering whether they need to work or not???
nice views and an eye-opener experiece for us. cool....
the buses here are mostly double-deckers.
supper, we had the 'teng zhai' porridge (aka "small sampan" porridge). the best partner for porridge is the 'yao char keuw'. nice...
shops in HongKong will serve you a cup of hot tea, automatically when you are seated. but is it drinkable???
many hongkies use it to wash the chopsticks, and order other drinks. but, yes, it is safe to drink!
