HONG KONG - DAY 2

The next day, we took the hotel shuttle bus to "Tsim Sha Tsui", one of the main shopping districts in Kowloon, Hong Kong.

 Heavy traffic even after 10:00 AM.

 There are many of these high rise apartments on the way.

I have not been to Hong Kong for 25 years. While I found most of the street names have remained unchanged, there are many new express ways and by passes. Tsim Sha Tsui has totally changed and I could not recognize any of the buildings except for the Holiday Inn Golden Mile. The area has many new buildings which house shopping malls, arcades and restaurants. 

In the evening, we moved to Mong Kok for supper before returning to our hotel.

We had a look at almost all the small restaurants, street vendors and cafes as if we were on a familiarization tour.

 

 All sorts of food for eat-in and take-away.

Mini buses are still a common public transport in Kowloon.  

We had a good day outing with plenty of food from breakfast to dinner and supper.

 White radish cakes 

Beef tripes 

Other "dim sum"

 Portuguese chicken curry.

Portuguese egg-tarts

 Roasted Goose.

  Roasted Pigeons.

 Roasted Pork belly.

 

 Boiled "Gyoza" (dumplings.)

 Sweet and sour soup

Fried "Gyoza" (dumplings)

Hong Kong, to me, is the land of food. You can get any type of cuisine but of course, Hong Kong is best for its Cantonese cuisine. If I could stay a week or two longer to enjoy all the delicious food available, I guess I would be putting on a few more kilos at least!
