Hong Kong Trip 2016 Day 4 : 香港旅遊行程第四天

Our initial plan was to visit Stanley Market for some sightseeing, shopping and to experience local life in Hong Kong (香港). But then, there were some slight changes and we decided to visit Victoria Peak 太平山 @ Central instead.

Hong Kong Kam Wah Cafe 金華冰廳

The restaurant is always crowded with people especially during peak hours. The place itself is pretty cramped and you probably have to share table with strangers.

Hong Kong Kam Wah Cafe 金華冰廳 : Ordered their signature Polo Yao, egg tart and milk tea.

Ordered their signature Polo Yao, egg tart and milk tea. The polo bun has a crunchy top with pillowy soft texture. It’s crispy outside but soft inside! Yummy! Oh yea, if you take butter, order the pineapple bun with butter, taste better than the plain ones! The egg tart and milk tea was alright and nothing to shout about but their polo bun is best!

You can use your Octopus Card for the tram ride which save you a lot of time from queuing up at the ticket lines, which can be quite long.

Alternatively, you can also purchase your Peak Tram Fast-Track Combo from Klook which is inclusive of peak tram round trip tickets, one-way special line entry avoiding the long queue on regular lines & a Sky Terrace 428 entry to enjoy 360 degree panoramic views of Hong Kong.

Saw Bruce Lee wax statue and gotta snap a quick photo first. Haha. You can also purchase combo tickets for the Tram, the Sky Terrace and Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum.

Yung Kee (鏞記)

One of the must eat in Hong Kong is definitely roast goose. We tried Yat Lok Roast Goose during our previous and for this trip, we decided to try the famous Yung Kee (鏞記). Yung Kee is actually only a few minutes walk away from Yat Lok.

Interior is classy with spacious seating.

Yung Kee (鏞記) : Instead of white rice, we ordered a single portion of Yong Chow fried rice.

Our hearty lunch at Yung Kee Restaurant. Overall, food was good with great service and nice environment but price wise, it's more economical eating at Yat Lok.

After our expensive lunch at Yung Kee, dinner for tonight is fast food. I have the habit of trying out McDonald's whenever I travel Coz they tend to have different menus :)

This blog is a platform to share what I love in life: food (eat), travel (play), photography (art) and life (thoughts and ideas). With passion for food, I share my foodie adventures and indulgences here. “There is no love sincerer than the love of food.”

Traveling makes us a better human being as we recognise the similarities and celebrate the differences of cultures between where we travel to and where we come from. “The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.”

Photography do more than just capturing the best moments in our lives; they also help us tell our life stories. “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
