Hong Kong Food (Part 1)

Our main purpose of going to HK was to eat. :P Sounds like greedy fella! I had so many things in my list, achieved a lot, but still unable to eat a lot! :(

I had a hard start, trying to organize how to blog about the food we had. I've decided to categorize based on locations, though some of the restaurants have outlets in other areas, and some are franchised. I will start with Tsim Sha Tsui, where we lodged.

I'm sorry I don't have the English name of this outlet, but it is pronounced like 'Hui Lao San'. This is the place people go for Mango desserts. We ordered the Mango Twins, which was on promotion.


These are the real things:


The one on the left is mango ice cream with mango cubes and gravy. They used Philipino (or Thailand??) mangos (as I was told by my sister), hence have very nice fragrant. The mango gravy is actually real mango paste.


The same mango gravy is used in the other cup, replacing the ice-cream with glutinous rice balls. To my surprise, the glutinous rice balls mix better with the stuff better than the ice-cream. This one is tastier than the other. Guess that's because I don't really fancy ice-cream stuff. Others may rate it differently.


Another must-have in this outlet is the mango omochi (芒果糯米糍).


It is not a normal omochi, inside the glutinous rice skin, is a piece of real mango chunky.


Their curry-mix is also very famous. Whenever my aunt goes there, she'd definitely order this:

I didn't expect the curry in HK is really spicy, like the authentic Indian curries.

And where can you find this outlet? It is everywhere, actually. Even at the airport.
