gonna make my 1st trip to hk this month. bet u all have seen e commercial promoting hk: "eat n shop, shop n eat, 24/7!"
hee hee... quite excited abt it.
so does anyone have any recommendations for food n shopping places in hk? gonna be spending 4 days there... -
try the goose wings (ngor yik) by the street hawkers.
i think it cost S$3 a piece.
very big wings.
if you want dim sum ask any old man they know the cheap and nice ones.
try fermented toufu and hot coca-cola. -
no go hk b4
-
Must try the goose! Their specialty.
If you eat beef, must try their road side stalls. Prices drop every hour from 6 - 9pm so eat at 9pm if you want the cheapest rates.
A bowl of beef tendons and stomach noodles goes for abt 6 HK dollars. Good stuff.
-
Yes HK is great n fun ..... u can shop till u drop ...
i like to go there, at least 1 a yr -
i had dim sum 3 meals a day until i scared
any paria restaurant tt serve dim sum oso better taste than singapore dim sum restaurant's dim sum.........
chou dou fu mus eat! -
try the 'put chai gou' and 'por lor bao'
the food there is fantastic.
avoid occupying big tables unless you are with a big group. their sitting culture is different from ours.
go see a concert too. -
Haha, i've been to HK 3 times to visit relatives there and for the glorious FOOD! Most of the traditional HK cuisines can be found in Mong Kok aka 'wang jiao' So make sure you have a few meals there

Por Lor Bao(BoLuoBao) and Egg Tarts are sold at those Cha Chan Tang(Cha Can Ting), those famous ones will have long queue. ppl there like to buy at the moment they have just been taken out from the oven.Originally posted by dragg:try the 'put chai gou' and 'por lor bao'

For street stalls(used to be trolleys,but govt catch them until they rent shops, mostly found in MongKok area), Curry fish ball, got normal/spicy, for singaporeans may prefer the spicy type. Many others stuffs but personally i like curry fishball most.
Someone mentioned goose, the best goose is in Sum Cheung(Shen Jin,"deep well"), a place quite far from the city tough.
For Roast pigeon, the best is in Long hua hotel(it's call JiuDian but not really a hotel)in Shatin, also far from city area.
One more type of birds, it's call Wor Fa Cheuk(HeHuaQue), it's a very small bird, very crispy, one bite can eat the whole bird.
For Moon cakes/LaoPoBing, most famous is (Hang Heung)HengXiang, which in YeungLeong, evem further from city than Shatin. But dun worry, they got small shops in MongKok area nowdays, cos the HQ in YeungLeong is really too far.
If u happen to go to see big Budda in Lantau Island, there's a small shop near the busstop. Try the Tofu hua there.
many many more.... lazy to mention all..... -
okiez! tt's a lot of food u hav recommended liao. thanx thanx!

anyway, ocean park worth going or not? -

U can buy LaoPo Bing in hk island as well. They hav setup a small branch in the basement (forgot which level) of SOGO in Causeway Bay. -

hee... been asked lots of times abt tt. but frankly, juz not v interested in e disneyland. thinking tt if i wait til disneyland opens there, tix prices will prob soar n things will become more expensive too cos of the hype on disneyland.

besides those many tings to eat.....try the century egg too.....it taste different from here..... -
anymore anymore???
everything anyone knows abt hk, pls let me know too! -
smelly dofu...they deep fried those stinkos at roadside hawker stalls along ladies street or yau ma tei etc....eg. if u order tat, they'll deep fry it n give u. besides those stinkos, the same stalls also sell other deep fried or braised snacks.
n make sure u eat the stinkos with more chili sauce to hide the bad smell. n drink more juice or drinks or eat mints afterwards so ur mouth will smell like a garbage truck n cause ppl to faint -
just go enjoy yourself.eat what you feel like eating..
