Shanghai HK Noodle Shop

Shanghai Rice Rolls and soya bean milk.

The shop also sells steam buns and fried bread.  At 29 Jardines Bazaar, Causeway Bay. Very busy lunch time. You will have to share tables or take away. Service is fast and food comes quickly. Usually less than HK$50 for two.

Rice rolls have meat wrapped in sticky rice. Not a great place for vegetarian if you don't eat meat. Maybe stick to soya bean products.


Bowls of hot soya bean milk or cups of cold soya bean milk. With fried bread. Or even Shanghai dumplings. Siew loong pau.



Not easy to find in busy Hong Kong. It is next to 7-11 which is next to Siki Center on Jardine's Bazaar. Siki Centre has a spa.


Close to Times Square, Hysan Place and Lee Gardens for shopping. We walked 29 kilometers of shopping that day when we had lunch at the HK Noodle shop.

Ming Garden Hong Kong

Yum Cha in Jordan. Tea and sweet things. At Ground Floor, Ritz Plaza, 122 Austin Road, Tsim Sha Tsui 

Pleasant decor and really cold airconditioning. 愉快的装饰和真冷空调 Sets the standard for eating in the humid summer heat in HK.



Chinese tea cups with a handle. 中国茶杯把手 (Zhōngguó chábēi bǎshǒu) How quaint. Not something we often see in a Yum Cha restaurant. Traditionally most chinese tea cups are without handles.


Rice flour rolls served in elongated plates. We think these rolls are harder to make as the surface area is markedly increased.


There were a variety of deep fried dough. Some which had to be coated in honey before eating. Novel and unique. There were also giant fried wantons.

Generally, the food came out piping hot and fresh. The pastry may have been a little thick for Hong Kongers but for expats and tourist like us it was ok.

This is a nice restaurant for Yum Cha in busy and bustling Tsim Sha Tsui. About 100 meters walk from the nearest train station entrance on Jordan.

Nyonya Colors Mid Valley City

Nyonya food galore. So busy and so many patrons. Great selection of nyonya cakes.


Nyonya the Strait of Melaka melting pot of middle kingdom and peninsula cultures. Culminating in unique taste and cuisine. See http://www.nyonyacolors.com/

We had hot tea cooled by throwing tea between two mug. The vernacular being 'teh tarik' or pulling tea between two mugs to cool and create a head of froth on the tea.



Red bean soup or kacang merah. With hint of tangy orange skin.


Shaved ice with peanuts and brown sugar or "ice kacang" was yummy with lots of sugar and sweet condiments.

Chendol or green jelly with shaved ice and green jelly.
The range of food at nyonya colours. We enjoyed the light afternoon tea. Very crowded. Have to find own seat.
