Hong Kong Day 3: Mongkok (旺角)

Mongkok is our only itinerary today.

So we walked from Tsim Sha Tsui to Mongkok along Nathan Rd

and pick up egg waffles 鸡蛋仔 and milk pudding 炖奶 on the way as brunch.

LKK egg waffles (利强记北角鸡蛋仔) HKD 15.

Located on Jordan Rd opposite police station.

Crispy edges with fluffy round balls. 

Taste is mild but fragrant,

I enjoyed pulling off the mini balls and snacking on them one by one.

Next up is Yee Shun Milk Company. The restaurant was full, 

so we ordered take away for the milk pudding(义顺双皮炖奶) HKD 25.

Found a park to relax and have brunch. 

The milk pudding is more milky than I'd like, since it got warm from us walking around.

But the texture is really good. Smooth and bouncy. :)

Then we reached Mongkok, buzzing with people and traffic.

Goldfish street, besides selling fishes there's also many pet shops around.

Then we started our shopping tour.
Going in and out of shopping malls and shops along Mongkok streets.

Langham Place, one of the malls.

We had lunch at Tsui Wah Restaurant (翠华茶餐厅), a franchised restaurant in Hong Kong.

I hadn't expect it to be good, but the Hainan chicken rice 海南文昌鸡饭 impressed me.
The meat was tender, bones were removed and the sauce went well with it.

Lemon tea is a very common drink in Hong Kong.
Especially refreshing to have after a heavy meal.

Love their milk tea cup...

Then we did more shopping and had tea break at Hong Ling Restaurant 康年茶餐厅.

Buttered pineapple bun 菠萝油 with warm crunchy crust and butter melting inside.
Just nice for tea time. :)

After that we went to Cheung Sha Wan 长沙湾
to meet with a friend I knew during working holiday in New Zealand.
We were early,
so we stopped by a park and watched these cute kids getting trained to skate.
It was fun to watch, made me felt like learning too.

My friend brought us to Tai Chung Wah restaurant 大中华饭店,
famous for it's clay pot rice and sizzling trotters.

There was a long queue even though the restaurant had quite a few dining areas.
By the time our dishes arrived we were starving and everything tasted awesome.

We had stingray clay pot rice 煲仔饭, sizzling hot plate trotters 铁板猪手,
spicy fried clams 炒圣子 and the perfect match for seafood - ice cold beer!~

Despite trotters and clay pot rice being their signature dishes our favourite was the spicy fried clams.
