I tried another Michelin Starred Dish in Hong Kong: • $18 AUD Michelin Star ...
LOCATIONS FEATURED:
► Victoria Peak
► Mak’s Noodles: The Peak Galleria, Shop 12 - 13, Level One, 118 Peak Rd
► Kam Wah’s Cafe: 47 Bute Street Prince Edward
► ION: Shop 124, 1/F, Central Market, Central
► Lin Heung Kui: 46-50 Des Voeux Road West Sheung Wan
Another Hong Kong vlog, another travel vlog in this foodie city.
This week’s adventure starts with a visit to Victoria Peak. I went to the Sky Terrace to get amazing views of the city and of Victoria Harbour. (priceless b-roll footage for my Hong Kong videos) The shopping mall at The Peak has Mak’s Noodles which is famed for its Michelin Star Wontons. The portions were tiny, but the wontons were delicious and worth the try. (I ordered a second bowl)
Then I had a famous Pineapple Butter bun at Kam Wah’s cafe. It’s eating butter to a whole new level. Every bite was devilishly yummy. That brunch was a bargain and a perfect opportunity for budget travellers wanting something local and delicious.
I got paranoid from all the butter and downed a traditional Chinese medicine tea once I got a chance! These places are everywhere and the teas on offer are for general health to detox and cleanse your body.
I finish the week by heading to Sheung Wan and exploring Central Market. Dinner was amazing at another local foodie institution - Lin Heung Kui, this place is old but gold.

ok i just googled - there's a 4 bedder for sale at The Peak for a cool $88 million HKD

@williamtam6732 Жыл бұрын

You probably want to check this again.

@robertmcrostie Жыл бұрын

Yeah that that is super cheap as most places are $150M HKD plus. Some of the places up there go for $400M HKD to $600M HKD plus. One of the most expensive areas in HK, if not the most expensive . That area set a record a few year back for the most expensive place in HK. It was crazy money.

Hey Janice... You are having such a fantastic Hong Kong adventure... and Mum and Dad seem to be enjoying it as well in the few little snippets we see of them. Our weather here in the US, at least in most of the region where I live... is experiencing high temps and extreme humidity. But of course, I'll take that over what some other parts of the US are experiencing. Major floods (Yellowstone National Park), the West Coast and the red wood forest fires, the southern states with either major flooding or (if you can believe it) drought. It's just madness. I'm not a person that can tolerate the humidity AT ALL. But like I said, I'll take what mother nature gives me for the time being. You really found some good food and the sights at the Peak were phenomenal! As always Janice, an enjoyable video for someone like me who will most likely never be able to see the things you are actually seeing. Hugs, Penny Sue

Great video. I like that you go to different “locals” places rather than the ones all the other vloggers usually go to. Wondering if they have English menus at these places or need google translate. It seems pretty safe and normal walking around but wondering if you had and concerns about going there considering the political unrest and crackdowns that happened last few years.
