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.

Chins Noodle House 面馆 Leeming

Fast Chinese food. Australian Style. See http://www.chins.net.au/

Yum Cha Dim sum and stuffed duck. You have to preorder this dish. This restaurant is just off the Kwinana freeway. Take the turn off when you can see the new Fiona Stanley Hospital.  Continue until you hit the neighbourhood shopping plaza on the left. 

To fu hot pot

Not a bad dish for vegetarians. Nice thick sauce. 

Fried Noodles

Lots of yummy noodles. Sauce and noodles slid down your throat. Good for the long life effect - some believe you eat noodles for long life. Worth a visit if you are in the neighbourhood.

Alternatively if you are working at Fiona Stanley Hosp and are hungry after your shift. Visit this chinese restaurant. No need to preorder. Can be busy though. It is a family run restaurant and the prices are reasonable for Perth. if you are from interstate you may not agree but then you may not have exprerienced the resources boom for the last 5 years in Western Australia.

Lai Shing Dim Sim Sydney

Have Bao on 72nd floor.

We were staying at Meriton Apartments Sydney 72nd floor and decided to look for breakfast. Walking down the road towards Central Train station we found a shop that sold steamed buns and other steamed yum cha type foods for take out.

The BBQ pork buns were $1,50 each. They also sell frozen and steamed pastry without filling - mantou. Menu Below.

Opening times are 8 am to 6 pm 7 days a week. So you can get your dim sum fix daily. maybe get the 1/2 dozen BBQ pork buns to get your glucose hit.

If you are ever in China Town in early morning try this shop. They speak mandarin.

Fook Yuen Chatswood for Sydney Volvo truck drivers

Chinese food in large platters. Food was plentiful enough to feed a large group of hungry truck drivers. .

Below the wine on the left is a sweet red almost like a port.. Bought by CK an engineer.  This seemed to go well with the Peking duck which was the starter. Our truck driver colleague drove a Volvo with a sleeping berth in the back of the rig so could sleep it off afterwards.

I had 3 servings of Sang choy pau. Courtesy of the generous servings which others could not finish. If you ever need to feed an army of  hungry truck drivers come here. .See their web site at http://kingfookgroup.com.au/Menu.aspx?location=Fook%20Yuen%20Chatswood

 Nest from fried noodles with vegetarian chicken. Wine was never ending with top ups from big brother from Taiping.

3 layer pork which we doggy bagged home due to the giant servings. Would have been good for truck drivers who drove Volvos. He was getting ready for a big container drive tomorrow after the meat fest.

Fried chicken topped with deep fried rice. This is a new twist for me to the popular yam duck.

Reaching for sliced oranges (the healthy choice) on the right. On the right cookies fried to go with the red bean soup.

To whip up an appetite before the meal we went walking in the Chatswood chase mall and the Chatswood westfield mall. Walked from 4 to 530 pm before dinner. This should have burned a couple of hundred calories from lunch.

See http://www.chatswoodchaseshopping.com.au/ There was a Williams Sonoma one of our favourite kitchen ware retailers.

The air conditioning at Chatswood mall was not as efficient but there were interesting little shops which sold lots of interesting stuff that you could buy for gifts. Such as the $1000 torch from the torch shop. See  http://www.westfield.com.au/chatswood/
