Hong Kong Food Exploration: Wang Fu Beijing Dumplings

1 Comment

Dumplings. Is there anything they can’t do?

Well obviously, yes. But I love British suet dumplings (as you can probably tell from this post), fried Jamaican dumplings, Japanese gyoza and Jewish matza balls, to name but a few.

Chinese dumplings are another treat, and having read about Wang Fu (65 Wellington Street) in a few online posts, when we found ourselves hungry and in that very street, it made perfect sense to go there.

Hong Kong Food Exploration: Sun Kee

2 Comments

While reading one of my favourite food blogger’s websites for tips on Penang, I came across a long post on a 2010 trip to Hong Kong.

One place mentioned that caught my eye was a café called Sun Kee (Shop 13-14, G/F, Champagne Court, 6-20 Kimberley Rd).

To be strictly honest, it was less the place than a particular dish, namely grilled pork neck and cheese noodles. My love of cheese made my attendance a must, and so one evening we pavement-tangoed our way to Kimberley Road and tracked down Champagne Court.

Hong Kong Food Exploration: Roasted Meats

There are some to whom the window below would be a terrifying sight.

I can’t deny I prefer my food to remind me a little less of its origins, given that I suffer from survivor’s guilt and feel that my potential vegetarianism is largely postponed due to cultural acceptability twinned with selfish greed.

That said, I’m afraid that despite my occasional wrestling with my conscience, what I ultimately take away from seeing such a window is the anticipation of something delicious to eat.

Hong Kong Food Exploration: Sweet Treats

1 Comment

You may have thought that after our Hong Kong dessert house excesses it would have been inadvisable for us to eat any more sugary delights.

Not so, my health-conscious chums. Wallets and waistline were damned as we devoured some Western-style treats, and they were so tasty that I wanted to share our shame with you.

H was staring at a Tsim Sha Tsui map when he noticed somewhere called Awfully Chocolate. We needed no more encouragement than that to stop by the next time we were in the vicinity.

Hong Kong Food Exploration: Kowloon Dessert Houses

Leave a comment

Following on from our successful visits to Penang dessert houses, when we reached Hong Kong (the next stop on our trip) I was determined to continue my research and so I dragged H to several more places and forced him to eat further sugary treats.

Having read on various blogs about Hui Lau Shan (branches all over), we happened to walk right past an outlet, and this became our first dessert stop.
