Dining at the famous Mui Kee Cookfood Stall with my Hong Kong Friends

My Hong Kong friends brought us to Mui Kee Cookfood Stall 妹記大排擋 which is located at Kimberly Street. It really felt like 大排擋. 

Eating in Hong Kong can be overwhelming. Food trends are ever-morphing and the choice of things to eat is staggering, such that at any time, a "Hong Kong meal" can mean many different things.

But just like the most complex building structures in the world, Hong Kong cuisine can also be broken down to its bricks and mortar. 

Here's a funny conversation between the order taker and Darryl (in cantonese + mandarin) :

Darryl: May we order please?

Him: What would you like to order?

Darryl: I want this (while pointing to the dish name).

Him: No no that one not very nice (and shake his head at the same time)

Darryl: then this leh?

Him: ok this one nice. 

Darryl: this leh?

Him: this one not delicious also. You know, some dishes here are nice some dishes not nice one. (while he looks around the place, afraid other people overhear him)

Darryl: then you tell me what's nice then I order lah..

Him: some special dishes are not on the menu one.. must look at the black board in front. For example, this egg white mixed crab meat very good one!

Darryl: OK OK! 

Then we asked Tim to order for us since he's more familiar with the food in Hong Kong.

With Van!

My fav boy, Tim.

Me and Darryl!

With cheeky Sean!

• Food's not that bad. I'll give them 3.5 / 5. But it's abit stuffy and noisy.

Hong Kong Day 2: Times Square & Chai Wan

Times Square (時代廣場) is a major shopping centre and office tower complex in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong.

Mirroring its namesake in New York City, the plaza in front of the building is one of two main gathering points, along with the harbour, for Western New Year celebrations in Hong Kong. In the hours leading up to 00:00 on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, the area is packed with revelers waiting for the midnight countdown, which is done by the "lowering" of lights on a wall.

Hong Kong Day 1: (Part 2) The Ferry Ride

Ah, reminiscence of Taiwan. 

I enjoyed the Ferry ride and it was damn cheap!

We got the upper deck!

HUGO BOSS BOAT!!?! WHAT THE HECK! I wanna be on that boat!

And a few minutes later, we arrived at our destination...

Hong Kong Day 1: (Part 1) The Cold Coming

 It's been almost three years since I last visited Hong Kong. Last year, I went Hong Kong but I was on a church trip. So that doesn't count.

I love Hong Kong but sometimes I feel Hong Kong is an expensive country just like Singapore.

#HongKong Trip: With Anshuman Das

It was an honor to have met Anshuman Das and it was even an honor to have him tour us around Hong Kong! Thank you, Anshuman Das!

#randomthoughts

I felt that they shouldn't engage the bomoh in the first place. Yes, they are trying every possible way to find the plane but they are ridiculing themselves by asking a bomoh to find a missing plane.

If it really works, then can I ask the bomoh to get rid of my kidney stones? Please?

The Three Girls Who Know Us and Interviewed Us

We were on our way to Chatuchak Weekend Market when three girls stopped us. Two of them called out my name.

They took photos with me and also had a short interview about me and my blog.

They also interviewed my friends asking them how long they've known me and what they think about my blog.
