The Real Thing! Ngau Lam Meen 牛腩面 @ Kuen Kee Noodle 權記粉麵茶餐廳 on 14Sep2017 (Day 5 of Hong Kong/Shenzhen Trip 10-14Sep2017)

ngau lam meen 牛腩面 HK$32

finally got to eat the real thing – hong kong ngau lam meen 牛腩面.

what we had on Day 1, the 牛三宝=牛腩牛根牛肚 HK$38 at 牛棚 at fa yuen street, was good, but not enough shiok for me….

this morning actually we intended to have brunch at 鹅皇馆, but the roast goose was not ready at 10.15am, so we walked over to Kuen Kee Noodle 權記粉麵茶餐廳 at tonh choi street.

ngau lam meen 牛腩面 HK$32

here looking at the ngau lam 牛腩, we decided we didn’t even need to have 牛根牛肚.

the ngau lam 牛腩 looked like 蹦沙腩(have 胶 or collagen), just what i wanted. so we decided to order just ngau lam meen 牛腩面.

ngau lam meen 牛腩面 HK$32 

so very satisfying.

ngau lam 牛腩 was so tasty, the perfect texture & taste. should have taken this the first day!

bill HK$78

can order coffee at HK$7 with the ngau lam meen 牛腩面 . coffee at these eateries are quite good.

Enjoying Dessert Again @ Hoi Kee Walnut Place 海記合桃坊甜品 on 13Sep2017 (Day4 of Hong Kong/Shenzhen Trip 10-14Sep2017)

mango & durian dessert

after full day trip to shenzhen & a very good dinner at ,

WM & i were back at prince station. we decided to go to Hoi Kee Walnut Place 海記合桃坊甜品 to have something cold & to chill on 13.9.2017. ^^

hoi kee again 海记

hoi kee 海记

hoi kee like always, had a good crowd of customers, but turnover is fast, so we got our seats with no waiting…

we were like the only foreigner here, maybe there was 1 table with koreans…

hai kee menu

usually we would go for the paste. really it is the thing to take in hong kong as they do that very well every shop you go, whereas other not traditional dessert we get easily in singapore.

this evening though, we wanted a change so went for the more contemporary dessert.

mango & durian dessert

thinking of the excellent 榴莲飘雪Durian Macha Dessert at Honeymoon Dessert 满记甜品,

i ordered the durian ice cream dessert 榴莲雪乐冰。

durian dessert

it was way off the 榴莲飘雪Durian Macha Dessert at Honeymoon Dessert 满记甜品 though.

i guess kind of expected. not their forte here so nice but just mediocre. durian is sweeter far less flavour c/w honeymoon dessert’s 榴莲飘雪.

mango dessert

WM took the mango blueberry dessert.

nice dessert too!

lotus seeds with tao huay 莲子豆腐花

anyway tonight our last evening in hong kong before returning to singapore.

we wanted to chill a bit more & being greedy in ordered another  lotus seeds with tao huay 莲子豆腐花.

the lotus seeds were ok just not infused enough with syrup, the tau huay was very smooth. i think the sugar should be a syrup instead…

炖蛋

WM ordered his favourite 炖蛋. still nice too, almost like a sweet chawan mushi …this one really not my kind of dessert la…

bill HK$83

we had a great time chillin gout.

final bill came to HK$120 after we added 炖蛋  & lotus seeds with tao huay 莲子豆腐花. 🙂

Shenzhen华强北Electronic Shops, Coffee Break, 东门老街Laojie on 13Sep2017 (Day 4 of Hong Kong/Shenzhen Trip 10-14Sep2017)

华强北

 after the wonderful braised pork noodles + pig oran soup at 东贝爱面科学馆outlet.

WW brought us to 华强北 to look at the electronic goods & accesories.

华强北

a huge place, and together with laojie 老街, felt like 10x what JB city square, KSL etc areas have to offer.

华强北

& unlike our causeway & second link, going across from hong kong to shenzhen is a breeze – a 45mins MTR ride on eastern rail 东铁线 from tsimshatsui to luohu, walk across the border immigration checkpoints & take the metro from shenzhen luohu station to the various places..

coffee stop

after 华强北  we had an unexpectedly good lunch.

after lunch we had coffee i think at pacific coffee???

coffee stop-tesla RMB740k

the tesla showroom was just at the other side of the square.

so we went to “kay poh” a bit…

RMB 740k, fraction of cost in singapore if tesla decided to drop by again after packing up some years back…

actually i didn’t think much of the shape & especially the interior, very average …

a really huge pedestrian area 步行街….17.6hectares of it according to baidu-

  • 东门老街,全称深圳东门商业步行街区,北至立新路,南至深南路,东到东门中路,西至新园路,总占地面积17.6万平方米。古代深圳的根,在南头老城;而近代深圳的根,则在“深圳墟”。

深圳东门老街广场青铜大钟laojie copper bell

深圳东门老街广场青铜大钟laojie copper bell

the 深圳东门老街广场青铜大钟laojie copper bell…there is another bell on the western square-

老街东西两个广场———老街广场和时代广场,为东门老街拓展出了“呼吸空间”,购物者和市民也有了难得的现代观光场所。广场由大王椰、风信子、百合、郁金香等名贵花木和喷泉、雕塑、休闲亭组成,形成商业街独有的美丽街心风景。两个广场还分别设置了一组以时间为主题的青铜大钟雕塑,体现历史文化与现代文化的冲撞。大钟早晚会各敲响一次,早上鸣钟表现人们对新的一天的希望与祈盼,晚上鸣钟表现人们一天的辛劳与收获,体现了时间就是金钱,效率就是生命的丰富内涵。.
