Many do not know but my mum has her roots in HK even though she was born a Penangite. Those days everybody wanted a part of Malaya. Seeing the potential of this newfound "promise land", my maternal grandmother went to Penang and my mum was born there. It's amazing how things turned out the opposite after 50 years...lol. Anyway, mum only moved back to HK at about 13. Point is, due to her roots there, we get to visit HK quite often. In fact, once every year for the past three years. Still, HK never turns out to be boring for me. Especially with the shopping and of course the amazing food there. The variety of stuff on sale there is just massive compared to what we get here. From the affordable to the ultra luxurious. Its also rather nice to visit the aunties and uncles once in a while, good food, good wine, great bargains. I love HK.
My next two blog post will be my little food guide to HK. A collection of the food I never fail to miss every time I'm there and also some newfound eateries. Dim Sum included of course, also roast goose, beef hor fun and many more. HK is food heaven. It's not a surprise that most food outlets in HK serve at least decent food. Rent is crazily high in HK and to survive you are forced to do your very best. Even around my hotel area, I've seen some restaurants being replaced after just a year. More to come soon, stay tuned!
