Had dinner at Hollywood and Dine (inside Disney’s Hollywood Hotel) after checking in at the hotel on Oct 7, our 3rd day in Hong Kong (2007).
We didn’t have much option for dinner in the hotel… this restaurant seemed like a cheaper one. It was a fast food style restaurant which served ready made salad, sandwiches, pasta, rice, congees, desserts and drinks.
We hesitated for a while when we reached the entrance of the restaurant, as we were the only group there… turned out that the food was actually ok. Besides, the staff were super friendly… thumbs up for that.
Yung Kee (鏞記) is one of the most famous restaurants in Hong Kong. Founded in 1942, the restaurant is located on Wellington Street in the Central District; and is fame for its roast goose, barbecue pork, and perhaps for their expensive price as well.

First Chinese dim sum (點心) during our Hong Kong visit (Oct 2007) was at Hon Po Palace Restaurant (漢寶皇宮酒樓), located just beside our hotel in Austin Road, Tsim Sha Tsui.
Hon Po Palace is part of Hon Po Group, famous for its seafood… lobster in particular. Although not fame for its dim sum, we decided to give it a try because it’s so convenient from our hotel.

Kau Kee (九記甜品) is a dessert shop at Parkes Street in Kowloon’s Jordan area. We decided to look for some dessert after having a nice meal at Mak Mun Kee, and Kau Kee was just next door… there were some customers inside the shop, so we thought that it shouldn’t be too bad.
We ordered 2 sweet soups (糖水; Tong Sui) - a red bean soup and a barley soup with lotus seed and tofu skin. The desserts were just ok… not too sweet, but we preferred thicker sweet soups instead.
The price was reasonable, around HK$8-12 for each bowl.

We found this stall at the north end of the Temple Street (廟街) selling curry fish balls (and some other food) on our first day in Hong Kong (Oct 5, 2007). Good stuff for supper.
