My Travelogue

After a whole day of walking, exploring and  shopping for the first day, we decided to call it a quit.
But we needed to ensure we end with a bang, and what better way than ending it with good food.
After all, eating is one of the reason that keeps me walking on for the whole day.

We literally had our last “dinper” (dinner/supper) before we head back to hotel.
We walked passed this chaa chan teng , Tsui Wah Restaurant 翠華集團 which somehow seems so close to heart.
It seems like I’ve been there before but mainly through TVB, and I am finally here.

Hong Kong-style Milk Tea is a definite must try when in Hong Kong.
After all it is the country’s signature drink if not national drink.
In my opinion, you are only forgiven for not trying if you are caffeine or lactose intolerant.

Almond Milk Tea and Eight Treasure Tea seems to be quite commonly served drinks at most cha chaan teng in Hong Kong, and this is what my cousin-in-law ordered.
While I personally don’t quite like the “cockroach taste” Almond Tea, many seems to find it enjoyable.
Well, not that it has cockroach in it, and not like I had tasted one before 😂.
I know what you’re thinking, and no, I did not come up with the term.
It’s a common term among my friends. LOL!

Being a pork lover, I couldn’t resist myself from ordering anything pork.
This is one of the few country, finding pork-filled food is as simple as ABC.
I mean, seriously… I just have to end my day right with overload of pork!
What better than braised pork with dumpling noodle soup!

This might not be the best in the world dish or restaurant. But I am satisfied and feel contented!
Soft and tender braised pork *slurp slurp*.. pork dumpling with flavorful rich pork bone soup.
Arghh… now I wish I tapau-ed some back!

While we didn’t manage to try the roadside fish ball stalls, we still ordered some to try out.
The different variety of fish balls in seaweed soup is really different.
The seaweed definitely adds the “sea flavour” to the whole dish.
As for the fish balls, they all have different texture.
But I must say, the fried ones are more my style. After all, I love the crunchy skin with bouncy feeling.

My cousin… oh my cousin! She of course, has a stronger hongkie taste in her than me.
She opted for the Hong Kong-style Cheese baked Rice with Pork Chop.
Which I did steal a bite or two. I mean, how could I resist… a combination of all good things in one.
Yes… oozing cheese! Pork Chop! Button Mushrooms! and of course the Tomato Sauce!
Damn! Sometimes I just wish I had four stomach.. and well, that I won’t get fat from just eating and eating and eating.

*ooo la la*, seriously.. nothing can go wrong with XO sauce.
If it ever happens, the cook should just never try to cook… ever again!
I mean right, it’s a multi-purpose sauce.. created using more than 10 premium ingredients to create such a luxury sauce.
A dash of the XO sauce will instantly brings the dish to stardom.. probably brings the seafood and meat back alive!
So yes, bet you can guess we simply wallop everything… till the very last grain of rice of this fried rice with XO sauce

*nom nom nom* braised pork and dumpling is not enough to kill the crave.
I needed something more… something that has pork. Something familiar, something I grew up with..
Yes maam, that’s gotta be luncheon meat.
We ordered fried rice with luncheon meat and kalian. And it was lovely! The crunchy kalian stem does give an extra texture to the dish itself.
Burp! *rubs tummy*

We needed to walk the dinner off a little, but everywhere I turned to are more shopping malls and they are all calling out to me.
Isn’t that scary?
Aww.. no, don’t be silly. It’s just the night view of Causeway Bay.

But wait, look what I found.
OMG OMG OMG!! Gachapon machines.
They used to be found easily everywhere and anywhere.
But now, they seems like relics and had became incredibly hard to find in Hong Kong nowadays.
And it was so sad, I can’t find anything I specifically like 😭.

Just before we reached our hotel, I saw quite a lot of protest banners.
Wonder what it’s all about, but judging from the TVB series plots, this should be quite mild.
