Yeoh's Bah Kut Teh at HK 杨氏肉骨茶

They claim to be traditional Malaysia Klang Bah Kut Teh 马来西亚巴生肉骨茶, but unfortunately, the standard still not there. The meat is not soft enough. The soy sauce also different, don't really know what is added, make the taste sweeter.

It is expensive as well, HKD 37 per person, rice HKD 6, so total HKD 41.

Hong Kong fast food Cafe De Coral 大家乐

Look at menu, pick your choice, queue and order and pay the food. The cashier will give you a receipt.
Pass your receipt to the "cooker", they will prepare your food and your drink. Then you get a tray, and bring your food to find a seat next.
Plenty of seat, and more spacious than traditional restaurant, also cleaner. But of course the food is more expensive.
Like this, cost me about HKD 24. Just a fried egg, some beef mince (not really a lot of meet), two small tomatoes and some vegetables. It is considered relatively more expensive than others.
And sadly, the menu nearly the same everday, no change much!

This restaurant is selling other noddles like wonton noddles at HKD 14, which they claim is BIG BIG BOWL.

This restaurant located at Parkers Street 白加士街 near Jordan MRT.

Live videos of Typhoon Nuri from Hong Kong

The Increasing Gale or Storm Signal, No. 9, was issued at 1:40 p.m. This means that winds are expected to increase significantly as Nuri moves closer to Hong Kong. At 2 p.m., Typhoon Nuri was centred about 40 kilometres east-southeast of Hong Kong Observatory (near 22.1 degrees north 114.5 degrees east) and is forecast to move northwest at about 14 kilometres per hour towards Hong Kong. Nuri is expected to cross Hong Kong in the next few hours. Gales are affecting many parts of the territory. Winds will increase further. In the past hour, the maximum sustained winds recorded at Waglan Island, Tai Mei Tuk and Chek Lap Kok were 94, 78 and 76 kilometres per hour respectively.

If you are unlucky, imagine you just passed by the following street...
Bear in mind that, the insurance will not cover you under the No 8 and above typhoon, so becareful. Stay indoor, don't go out like me.

When you go to any typical Hong Kong Chinese Tea Restaurant 香港茶餐市, you will see that their menu are all the same, and always have the beef noddles, either beef meat 牛腩, beef organs 牛什, beef tender 牛筋, or any combinations of them.

Long queue at Japanese Restaurant

Always you can see long queue outside the Japanese Restaurant in Hong Kong. I think there are several reasons:
1) The food of the restaurant is nice.
2) The price of the food is reasonable or cheap.
3) Hong Kong people tired of local Hong Kong food.
No matter what the reason, do try the Japanese Restaurant in Hong Kong, they provide very reasonable lunch set during lunch time.

For your info, the restaurant shown in the photo is the Granville Road 加连威老道. It is closed to Tsim Sha Tsui 尖沙嘴 MTR. It is also a famous shopping district for girls, and of course for guys as well. Notice the Timberland shop next to this Japanese Restaurant?

Another long queue is at this Japan restaurant at Dragon City 西九龙中心 near Sham Shui Po 深水埗 MTR. And it appears that always long queue happen at Japanese Restaurant.

Olympic Parking Lots

Hong Kong changes most of its parking paying system post to the Olympic style this year. Instead of taking coins, it only accepts the payment by Octopus card 八达通, the contactless cash card that used by public transport system. So even you are driving, you should carry along with you an Octopus card as well.


The Octopus card is a rechargeable contactless stored value smart card used to transfer electronic payments in online or offline systems in Hong Kong. Launched in September 1997 to collect fares for the city's mass transit system, the Octopus card system has since grown into a widely used payment system for virtually all public transport in Hong Kong. It is also used for payment at convenience stores, supermarkets, fast-food restaurants, on-street parking meters, car parks, and other point-of-sale applications such as service stations and vending machines. So at the Mannings 曼宁, Watsons, 百佳, you can make the payment using the card, very easy and convenience, save you the trouble of carrying cash and coins. More info of Octopus card can be found here.
