Wow, I’m amazed you managed to find Lan Fong Yuen. That place is the birthplace of the famous HK “stockings” milk tea and Yuen Yeung (milk tea + coffee), and possibly one of the most famous of all the tea restaurants in HK! Nice work.
I’m slightly disappointed that you didn’t manage to venture into the neighbouring Sheung Wan, though. A street away from exit A of Sheung Wan station and you would’ve found yourself on one of most densely restauranted streets with the best restaurants serving street-styled food, ranging from congee to beef noodles to snake soup. Perhaps something to try out next time?

Modern toilet is a toilet themed restaurant,where you sit on a toilet as your seat, a bath with a glass sheet on top as your table and cushions that look like……..well i’ll let u use your imagination!! The food is actually pretty good and the food comes out in different shaped toilet themed bowls (bath tub) and cups (urinal) itsa great novelity place to go!

@lili : It’s a lot better these days, atleast most people speak english.

@letset : There are a few stores, go for the one which looks the dodgiest!

@Nomnom : Congrats on the new blog! Oh yes you must try the yum cha place next time.

@V : We had goose two years ago, so gave it a miss this time due to time constraints :/ . In Sydney, there are a few Chinese bbq places which sell them. Best to ask your local one, but I think there is one in Burwood or Campsie.

@Fiona : The great thing is, Sydney has awesome yum cha too!

@Joey : Me too, though there are a few good HK type places in the City too. Cafe de campbell comes to mind.

@David : You are a HK addict.

@Zina : It’s funny how influential Bourdain is, he does wonders for business!

@Rilsta : We just give everything a go, best place to find food is on blogs and forums!

@Abercrombie : The pork buns are a-grade, so good.

@John : And it’s so cheap too!

@Shez : Thats the best thing bout HK, so bloody cheap.

@Reemski : Fly Jetstar, bound to get an overseas bargain!

@Suze : JCVD, It’s the first thing I noticed in the restaurant lol

@Trissa : We missed out on Yung Kee, but got recommended it by lots of people!

@foodwink : Tim ho wan is a must, we went twice!

@Ellie : Yeah sure, could always do with more eaters

@Sydneyguyrojoe : Didn’t get to go there, what is it ?

@Brad : Mate, your next destination should be Japan or HK. Start planning!

ARGH – I wish I had this list when we went last week. We ate in some good places as well (have you been to Yung Kee for Roast Goose?) but looks like you had more fun eating than I did!

What a fantastic post! I'm envious of all the great food you had! I went to HK for a few days BB (before blogging) and didn't know the right places to go so we had pretty average food. Looking forward to your other posts! .-= Rilsta´s last blog ..Review: Araliya, Hawthorn =-.

The food all looks amazing – you must’ve been very well fed throughout your trip! I’d love to try the Under the Bridge chilli crab, I’ve been craving it ever since seeing it on Bourdain.
