In fact it has been so long that my camera died on me at the shot of the last main. Lesson learnt; when Canon 400D says theres 2 bars out of 3 bars, dont believe what you see, chances are it just dies without seeing it drop to 1 bar.
So since it will take awhile to get the mojo back, i have been efficiently filtering pictures from Penang, Krabi and even Hong Kong (back in May) and i have once again rise from the dead with some unpublished photos.
Back in May, when the metabolism rate was still well and the gym sessions frequent, meals in Hong Kong was a constant chore but a chore that you wouldnt mind doing every day as opposed to mopping the floor or going to work.
So on one of the random meals after breakfast and before lunch, we decided we had stomach for dim sum, so dim sum it would be. Not just any dim sum place but one that the man on the street would visit on a weekend. Old school mix with weathered interior is probably the words that comes to mind.
I rather not comment about flavours as i have not the slightest clue as to how this would taste like after eating this 6 months ago.
Just enjoy the pictures.
Good old char siew pao.
Spring Rolls
The Gung Tong Gao, basically the most expensive dumpling on the menu
Har Gao and Siu Mai
Yong Tau Foo?
Salad Prawns, Radish Cake and Fried Chee Cheong Fun
Egg Tart
Good old steam chee cheong funIn addition to how the place looked, the food tasted the same too. Good old hong kong dim sum, theres not much finesse in the food, just good solid morsels vs. the dainty ones we are used to. Abit like our Foo San in Ipoh (10 years ago, i can't vouch for it now because i haven't been there in yonks), where you get a hearty breakfast.
Read the chopstick for more information.Verdict: 3 stars out of 5 stars. Nothing too fancy but just a meal for a normal day.
