Hong Kong: Sham Shui Po - Dim Sum

Our Delicious dim sum experience after taking pictures of the market in Sham Shui Po. We sat at a table with 5 old Chinese men who ate there everyday. It reminded me of the Chinese version of the Mecca Cafe in Dallas where my Grandfather used to go every morning. It had the same feel as Mecca and the patrons obviously had a relationship with the servers. Its a small world. Part of the Lunar New Year tradition includes gifts of money in sealed red envelopes to family and friends. All of the men had envelopes for the wait staff. It was a very cool thing to see.

Hong Kong: Food Courts are Awesome

So we came to Hong Kong thinking that all food court food was horrible. This is not true in Asia. Food Courts are awesome. Here is a sampling of one from Hong Kong. Soon I will start posting about a food court right next to my apartment in Taipei

Hong Kong: Sugar Street

So there is a small street right next to Victoria Park in Causeway Bay that has 3-4 delicious cheap noodle stores. When we wanted a light lunch we started saying "let's just go to Sugar Street." Here are some of the dishes we got either on Sugar Street or just nearby but that stay true to what Sugar Street food means to me.

Shrimp Ball and Noodle

Octopus Ball and Noodles

Noodles with Pork Ribs and XO Sauce

Noodles with Trotters

Hong Kong: Desserts

I can identify Dried Longan Berries, Barley and Lotus Nuts

Papaya

Tapioca balls and mango

Red Dates and Lotus Nuts

Coconut Milk, Lotus Nuts and Tapioca Balls

White Fungus, Papaya

These were all delicious, some served hot, some cold. There are restaurants along the street that sell these exclusively. We got in the habit of walking to this place after each dinner for something light, refreshing and delicious. Very small and not too sweet. Neither So-Han nor I normally go for desserts so it says something that we were so adamant about getting these nightly.
