Kau Kee (九記甜品) is a dessert shop at Parkes Street in Hong Kong’s Jordan area.
Visited the place after supper at Mak Mun Kee, located just next door. We ordered two tong sui (糖水, lit. sweet soup) – a read bean soup and a barley soup (with lotus seeds and tofu skin). Nice, but not great… not too sweet, but we preferred thicker sweet soups instead. Price around HK$8-12 per bowl.

Mak Mun Kee Noodle House (麥文記麵家) is quite famous in Hong Kong’s Jordan area for its wonton noodles. It’s located at Parkes Street, just next to Australia Dairy Co where we had our breakfast the same morning.
We ordered a noodle and a bowl of pig trotters (braised with Chinese fermented tofu). The shrimp wonton was huge and springy, top notch; the noodle was chewy, a bit too much for my liking; and the pig trotters were great.
Cost of the meal, HK$46 if I remember correctly. Opens from noon to midnight.
Mak Mun Kee Noodle House – Address: 51, Parkes Street, Jordan, Hong Kong.

My first meal in Hong Kong, at Hing Fat Restaurant (興發燒味茶餐廳) at Ashley Road in Tsim Sha Tsui. Hong Kongers live at a fast pace; the waiter seemed a bit impatient just after a short while when we were ordering. But to their credit, the food was served pretty fast as well. I guess it’s just their way of life.
