"My memories of Fragrant Harbour" Hong Kong by Yijie


Hong Kong Travel Guide: 10,195 reviews and 19,232 photos

I visited Hongkong a few years back but my memories of her are still quite clear. I remember staying in the Mongkok area where every night ended with a shopping trip to the Ladies' Market plus eaten some great deserts from an outlet of the famous dessert chain "Hui Lau Shan". This is the first "country" I really enjoyed going to because I like watching Hongkong dramas. Visiting the places where they shot many of the dramas' scenes such as the Victoria Peak, Ocean Park, Waterfront Promenade were great and memorable. And I finally get to eat those breakfast sets A, B or C etc. at their typical kind of coffee houses. Another local product that I bought is the "Lao Po Bing", or wife's biscuits. This is very nice to eat and there is a particular brand that I like. However, I do recall encountering some rude incidents involving shop vendors that mar the image of Hongkong, which is a pity.. I plan to visit Hongkong again when its Disneyland theme park is open. Another "precaution" to take, their stinky tofu is really toxic! ~o_o~ Can smell them a few streets away..haha

    Though I enjoy highly Chinese cooking (and more widely South Asian cooking), this is a part of the world I have never visited. I should ! I will !
