Over the last week, I moved to paternal Grandma's place in To Kwa Wan. Although location-wise, transport is not as convenient-- i.e. less bus routes and no access to MTR in comparison to Kowloon Bay-- I found that TKW had a lot more choice when it comes to food. And hence, with my enthusiastic grandma, we traversed all over TKW and the adjacent Kowloon City in search of fine street/restaurant cuisine. I really should've kept some form of journal since I have forgotten most the restaurant names... I have horrible memory when it comes to Chinese names. Anyway, one thing that I've learnt in my food adventures is that the cost NEVER reflects the taste. Especially in Hong Kong- where the cook of a local street noodle shop could be an absolute master when it comes to making soup noodles with wonton, as I've found out.
One thing that I've joked about a lot over the last few days is how whenever I see the menu, the prices of the dishes (in most restaurants) are exactly the same as those in Australia. Just with one minor exception being that the prices are in Hong Kong dollars... not Australian dollars... So having eaten so much, I've barely used over $80 Australian dollars over the week (yumcha was about $27 AUD-- and we ordered A LOT) since most meals cost less than $5 AUD.
Anyway, without rambling on and transforming this post into a thesis, click the links below to check out what I did over the last week :)
