Trip to Hong Kong – Day 4
How can you possibly miss out the dim sum in Hong Kong? There is a wide variety of dim sum dishes, which includes meat, vegetables, seafood, desserts etc.
Yummy dim sum. It’s best to enjoy with a large group of friends.
Piping hot dim sum dishes.
After my dim sum brunch, I headed to Stanley, a nice little town, with Tina.

Stanley was crowded with tourists. The Stanley Market was an interesting place to visit. There are different stores in the building, ranging from clothing, food, souvenirs, to accessories, and much more.

In 2000, Murray House was successfully restored in Stanley; by putting together more than four thousand pieces of stones and columns that were marked and put away, before the demolition in 1982. The demolition was due to the construction of new Bank of China Tower in Central.

We left Stanley after spending a few hours there, and headed back to Kowloon. What else should you try in Hong Kong?
The stinky tofu! It was crispy, greasy, and stinky. Delicious!
Busy crowd, with people from different culture background.
We visited a Chinese fast food restaurant, Ka Ka Lok, or better known as Café de Coral. Serving more than 300,000 locals in a day, it arises as the largest and most popular Chinese fast food chain restaurant.
Very presentable dish with grilled salmon, pork balls, and veggies.
The yummy-looking dish with grilled salmon and fish fillets.
Why is the restaurant so popular? Delicious and inexpensive dishes, friendly staff, and cozy ambience. On top of that, effective layout and quick service! Place an order and pay the cashier. An order number will be issued. Find yourself a table and wait for the number to be called upon. Collect the food from the front counter and enjoy!

I was just telling somebody that I shouldn’t eat before bed time to avoid gaining weight. How come everyone’s website keeps showing irresistable food! I cannot “tahan” liao. I think I’m going to find something to munch.

Haha… I’ve a hard time controlling myself too :P Munching on healthy snacks is probably the best solution :)

It’s midnight now in Montreal, and for a second, I thought I was seeing food for being so hungry! But hey, guess I’m not the only one! Wow Adeline, such awesome sightseeing and I bet your taste buds are having a great time!
