My Travel Blog : Hongkong - Part 1 Food Hunting

What I love most about Hongkong is the food! Yes plenty of delicious food wherever you go. Most restaurants and cafe display their menu in Chinese so it will be a bit of a challenge to order your food if you don't read Chinese. Nevertheless, most Hongkongers that we met were quite helpful.

I love the wantan noodles in Hongkong. Well, actually I love the wantans more than the noodles....as the texture of Hongkong noodles is not as chewy as those served in Malaysia. But the prawn wantans are simply heavenly.

For 3 days in a row we had wantan noodles from these 3 places:

Mak Man Kee Noodles in Parkes St, Jordan (same row as Australian Dairy Co)
Mak's Noodles in Wellington Street, Central Hongkong
Tsim Chai Kee Noodles in Wellington Street Central Hongkong (opposite Mak's Noodles)

And my favourite among the 3 is Tsim Chai Kee. Just look at the shrimp wantan, fish paste and beef slices :) Much tastier and also better value in money.

As for egg tarts, we tried the ones from Tai Cheong bakery. Very nice and soft...but too soft that the entire tart crumbled when we pick it up to eat.

I think the best egg tarts I've ever tasted is from Fresco Cafe located in 28 Gage Street in Central Hongkong. This is just a bakery frequented by locals unlike Tai Cheong Bakery which is very touristy.

The coconut tarts from Fresco Cafe are delicious too. Maybe I should try and bake my own coconut tarts one day since coconut is easily available in Malaysia.
