Since we were around the vicinity of Mongkok as you can remember from my previous blog Hong Kong-Day 2 where there are abundant of street food, we decided to stop and try some. This stall sells everything from stinky tofu, sausages wrapped in bacons to tripes and innards of all kinds. Recommended to try are the famed stinky tofu and I can tell, you definitely can smell it from a mile away.
Lots of variety to choose from...
Of innards...octopus and curry fish balls We took a break from eating and headed to the biggest shopping mall in Hong Kong, Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui. We were there for about two hours but we only managed to cover one third of the place. Too many shops and too many good offers...
On the way back to Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station, we stopped at one of Hong Kong's famous desert chain, Hui Lai Shan for their mango dessert. This place never fails to surprise me after so many years. The variety have increased and it still tastes as good as before. You can find this shop all over Hong Kong.

Dinner was another highlight of the day as we headed to Central to the award winning restaurant, Yung Kee. They have won many awards eg. The Best Restaurant, My Favourite Restaurant Reader's Choice and of course received the one star in the Michelin Guide. Their must have are the roast goose and preserved eggs. The roast goose was heavenly as it was juicy and tender. The plum sauce that came with the dish complemented the goose very well and the fermented soybeans at the bottom added a crunchy texture. It was unfortunate that we didn't get to try the preserved eggs as many friends said it was very good.
Their must order item on the menu-roast goose
Barbecued pork (char siu)-nice and tender. Slightly different from the Malaysian version
Steam kai lan-fresh and crunchy!

Glad you are enjoying your time in Hong Kong. But don't eat too much of that pork - it's no good for the blood pressure!
