What we ate in Hong Kong!

From the moment we arrived, it's been non-stop eat eat eat eat. I love Chinese food, so I really enjoy the food in Hong Kong. My top favourites are the porridge, condensed milk butter bun and dim sum!

Below are photos of the restaurants/cafes that we visited in Hong Kong during our few days there! :)

Miffy x Dim Sum Icon (Hong Kong)

When in Hong Kong, you must eat dim sum! Actually there are a lot of good dim sums in Hong Kong, ranging from the dingy hole in the wall cafes where the waitress will yell at you in Cantonese if you take too long to order, to those super atas hotel restaurants where everything is plated so nicely and you pay big money for small portions. Hahahahahaha!

We went to Dim Sum Icon because they are having a collaboration with Miffy! Obviously the dim sum is not going to be fantastic and the prices are confirmed gonna be higher than usual.... but... MIFFY! Miffy is my sister's favourite character. She loves it as much as I love Hello Kitty. Wany said we must go and have Miffy Dim Sum on behalf of my sister. （‐＾▽＾‐）

Glad to have lunch here also cos the aircon is super strong in this shopping mall and the weather is super duper hot outside.

The cafe is located at "THE ONE" Shopping Mall. 100 Nathan Road Tsim Sha Tsui Kowloon. In between Tsim Sha Tsui and Jordan MTR station.

They have a few rules which I find quite annoying. （¬＿¬)

1. Compulsory Tea Condiments charge of HKD10 per person
2. Minimum order of HKD50 per person
3. Dining time 60mins during "busy hours"

The wait staff is also not friendly one. Giving that kind of attitude like you owe them money... which I don't like cos HELLO!! We paying so much for mediocre dim sum, at least treat us cordially can? No need to be over friendly but don't give us that kind of face lah.

At least we managed to score a booth seat near the windows where there's nice lighting and it's quieter than sitting inside the main dining area.

Miffy decals on the windows!

Super cute lah.. But not nice to eat. Hahahahaha!

I ordered a mini watermelon drink cos the weather was sooooo hot.

These are namecards of the cafe! So cute!

We ordered 4 food items & 2 drinks and it's almost SGD50 already. OMG. Just HKD17 more to get the free gift.. but we peeked at it and it's some cheapo cardboard coaster so we decided to skip it. 

Based on the ratings I gave the food, obviously it is not good. But it is cute and I think all Miffy fans should visit it. If you are not a fan, then skip this... take your money and go to the hole in the wall cafe for authentic dim sum. Just smile and nod when the waitress yell at you. LOL!

Chinese Dried Food Shopping in Hong Kong

Woke up early to fulfil our daughter / daughter-in-law duties! ˭̡̞(◞⁎˃ᆺ˂)◞*✰

The moment Mama Chew heard that I am going to Hong Kong, she got all excited and told me she has a list of dried food stuff that she wants and if we can go and help her buy if it is on the way.. Well, turns out, Wany's mother also has a list for her and she said it is always a mandatory practice for them to give their mum a few hours to go and buy dried foods. And the reason why she always stay in Eaton Hong Kong cos it is walking distance to the dried food shop and her mother can go by herself early in the morning while her sister and her sleep in because they don't wanna spend a few hours hanging around the dried food shops. LOL! Great strategy!

This is the shop that Wany's mother always frequent!

The shop is quite empty cos we were very early, but after a while a lot of aunties appeared to buy bags and bags of stuff.

There are so many different type of dried foods!

Dried oysters! This was on Mama Chew's list.

There are so many bird nests and dried sea cucumbers! I think there must be at least HKD1,000,000 worth of items in the shop... maybe more. I don't know. Sea cucumbers are crazyyyyy expensive and they have so many types of different sizes and species. 

Wany said her mum usually chooses the items by herself but since we are 2 noobs, we had to ask the nice uncle to help us out. Hahahahahaha! He is super chill and the best thing is he is not those hard selling type of sales person who keep pestering you to buy more stuff. 

Headed back to our hotel to drop off the stuff cos super heavy ahhhh! I asked Wany why the uncle give us such a cute bag instead of the ugly plastic bags that the other aunties got when they bought stuff. Wany said we had to spend a certain amount to get the nice canvas bag. They usually give out those plain generic plastic bags.. but somehow both of us got 2 canvas bag each even though we did not spent the minimum amount to "qualify". She said it is because I am an Uncle-killer so they gave us the bags. LOLOL! (n˘v˘•)¬
