Home to Hong Kong – Day 14

I’m a huge fan of Anthony Bourdain, chef and culinary adventurer. He’s a true advocate of trying everything locally sourced and produced, especially the less desirable cuts of meat. Drawing inspiration from him, I bring you this blog post.

On a trip to Mong Kok to pick up a few travel books, my Dad and I stopped by a local congee shop for lunch. Good Hope Noodle, an already unassuming and odd name for an eatery, has had a storied history. It’s been in the neighbourhod for decades and is a popular lunch joint for local office dwellers and retail workers alike. Don’t let the 1960′s decore put you off,  as the food is well worth the drab-looking interior. My dad and I showed up early and was able to observe a steady stream of suits and Giordano associates who skillfully took their seats in the room to consume what is often considered one of the best noodle and congee joints in town.

Home to Hong Kong – Day 6

Through the magic of blogging, we’ve skipped five days.

My sister took me to a Vietnamese place on the ninth floor of a commercial building. It’s out of the way, it’s not very well advertised, and if its name is a sign of things to come, it has got to be good:


Yummy.

Home to Hong Kong – Day 1

One of the things I love about HK (other than it’s temperate climate, the relatives, the awesomely efficient and hilarious mass transit system, and the like) is the fact that it’s almost impossible to walk 10 paces without hitting someplace serving awesome food. If you go hungry in Hong Kong, there’s something seriously wrong with you.

I’m staying at my sister’s place in Hung Hom. Naturally, I dragged my sleep deprived butt out of the house bright and early on Day 1 to have breakfast with my dad. There’s nothing really special to this place other than it’s a regular neighbourhood “Hong Kong style cafe“.
