I'm loving it ! *slurp slurp*

Today post is about the chinese favourite - FOOD. People might eat to live, but to chinese is all about living to eat. I wish all my food-loving friends are here with me so that I can share with them all the arousing gourmets that they have here in Hong Kong. Raised by a food-loving family and grew up in a small city reputated as food paradise - Ipoh, I am pretty much quite a gourmet-lover. During the weekend, one of my family favourite thing to do in town is food hunting. Though a food-lover, my stomach is pretty tolerant and flexible with me. If I have the money, my stomach will automatically craving for some good food. If not, she will tolerate with whatever food I feed her. Or if I want to save money for some travelling, she will be very understanding. Ever since I went to KL (read : Kuala Lumpur) for my studies, what matters to me at that time was to eat to live. KL has different standard of good food, in terms of the diversion of cuisine, you can have it all in KL. In terms of chinese local food, it's incomparable with my hometown. Till my favourite item in KL is still the mamak food. You know what I mean :) Price for the food in Hong Kong is expensive. If I go further on telling you the price, it probably kill your appetite. But if you are earning like the local standard, oahh lala ~~ let's go food hunting ! Enjoy the pictures below. I'll upload more if I have the time. ( It has become a ritual for me to take pictures of the food before I devour them.)


























Asking me to diet like the local Hong Kong girls ??!! With these food around ??!! No way ! I would rather swim a few rounds to keep myself fit, healthy and at the same time, enjoying the biggest satisfaction of a human being -- LIVE TO EAT.

Above ALL ELSE, you must try the char siew rice there... try to ask around for the best one... I ate at a chain store and it was still fantabulous anyway... but there should be better.

Other suggestions...
Try out the fast food there! McD's! Grilled pork tortillas! It's different and in some ways better than M'sian fast food. Bcos got pig I guess. ;)

MUST!!! MUST go to roadside "chuan-chuan-shao" stalls. Curry fishballs! Meatballs with filling! Fish siew mai! Ngau lam soup! Pork belly! Like lok-lok but TONS better. HK$7 per stick, so watch your pocket!!!

If I remember anymore I'll tell you! Happy eating!

haha Ah Lau, I almost forgot u are bigger fan of the gourmet than I am !! I've tried the char siew rice here but I dont think it's the best one. Oh the McD's, I havent tried yet because there are too many good food around that I forgo the fast food everytime. I've tried the Philipino fast food, recommended by my philipine friends. I'll elaborate more in the next post. Oh fooooood ! And yeah I've tried the curry fishball ..love the spiciness. U won't imagine how I ask for chili sauce here everytime when I go for noodle soup. Yeah though "chuan siao" u mentioned, expensive ! Nice nonetheless. But hey, look out for my next post...I think I'm gonna have " I'm loving it * slurp* " Part II.

Oh, another thing. The seafood I've tried in Cheung Chau is in my top list :) ANd the price is relatively low compared to Lamma Island and stuffs . Like 74HKDs for scallop, crap, prawn, fish etc ( shown in the pictures ) , can u imagine that ? My friends was telling me that they had a 170HKD seafood meal in other places...incomparable to what I ate in Cheung Chau. So I'll be back to Cheung Chau again :) *slurp*
