Short Break in Hong Kong
Re: Short Break in Hong Kong
Visited the Tian Tan Buddha in Hong Kong's Lan Tau Island. My first time there. This is an aerial view of the buddha I found in the internet
(photo from here https://www.askideas.com/aerial-view-of ... an-buddha/)
Started with the cable car at the Tung Chung MTR station
Its a almost half hour ride, really beautiful scene, here is the see through floor of the cable car
The airport is just beside
The Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge, here you see it going under sea and coming up, far away is Macau and Zhuhai
The buddha

Yesterday was the last day in Hong Kong returned to Bangkok night. Had my last meal there and it has to be Hong Kong dimsum. Found this restaurant in a mall.
Looks like a popular place with many customers
Roast goose, I think the other restaurant I posted before is better
Buns with vegetables
Glutinous rice
Shrimp and pork dumplins
Steamed pork ribs with black beans
Lobster soup with tofu
the dimsum is really good.

The most famous wanton noodle brand is probably the Mak name as it was believed Mr. Mak brought this to Hong Kong from his hometown in Guangdong. His decedents opened many noodle shops with the Mak name on their shops.
Along Parkes Road in Jordan there are 2 - https://goo.gl/maps/XvpSKxcYQnKwA3KT7
So which is better? Lets start with this
As usual Mak's noodles comes in a small bowl with 4 wantons
The soup is sweet and heavily flavoured, the wanton is full of prawns, noodle is thin and springy, I'd say its cooked to perfection
Next door
This sous is lightly flavoured, wanton is larger and the marinate is more flavourful, noodle is slightly bigger than the first
If one likes a heavier flavoured soup the first shop is the choice and noodles is thin and perfect too. But if wanton is important to you I'd say go for the second shop. Hell, just do both you will be happy. HK$36 per bowl.
