Danny running us through the different roast delicacies on offer.
First was the roast quail. A little bony but still plenty of meat.
Followed by an ample servng of roast goose.
And lastly one of their signature dishes, the mouth-watering barbecued pork.
A short walk away was our penultimate stop,
Mak Man Kee Noodle Shop. There was a small queue just outside but luckily we were seated in 5 minutes.
Danny ordering a few dishes for us.
Mak Man Kee Noodle Shop originally opened in 1957 as a
dai pai dong (open-air food stall), it is considered a "must-stop spot" for their wonton noodles and was awarded a Michelin star in 2017.
On the left is prawn wontons and on the right is the prawn with black fungus and bamboo shoot wontons. Both wontons were stuffed full with prawn and had amazing texture with the soft wonton pastry with the slightly crunch prawn meat.
Accompanying the wontons were some dried noodles with spring onion and ginger.
And some
Gai lan, also known as Chinese kale. A simple but surprisingly delicious meal and a great taste of Michelin approved Hong Kong cuisine!
After a short walk we arrived at our final tasting for the night,
Kai Kai Dessert, which has been included in the Michelin guide since 2016.
Kai Kai Dessert specialises in classic Cantonese desserts such as red bean soup with lotus seed, steamed egg pudding and papaya and white fungus soup, all for less than $3 each.
From left we tried the stewed papaya with rock sugar, the sesame seed rice balls with sweet ginger soup, and the sesame and walnut syrup. After being awarded its first Michelin star in 2016, the restaurant's landlord more than doubled the rent from HK$100,000 to HK$220,000 a month and wanted to halve their amount of space! Fortunately one of their regular customers stepped in and they were able to move around the corner for only HK$90,000 per month.
A great end to the awesome and very enjoyable
Kowloon Food Safari! We then thanked Danny and said farewell to Lisa and headed to Jordan MTR station to make our way back to Hong Kong Island.
And back in Sheung Wan after a great first day in Hong Kong.
