HK 2010 - FiRsT dAY MAkAn

What went into my tummy on the first day of HK!



Started off with some snacks at the Flower Mkt (similar to bugis village kinda place)

From L to R (top row):
A signature wafflish ball snack, smelly toufu and the signage of the toufu shop. Surprisingly the smelly toufu wasn't as bad as I had imagined. It was both hot and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Taste wise was a tad salty and was deliciously paired with the chilli sauce given. Overall a pretty good experience except I had to pop breath mints in fear of the after effects on my breath.


From L to R (bottom row):
Smooth guilin gao and tender-with-the-right-amount-of-fat-under-the-crispy-skin roast goose!

In the evening, it was ding dong time for desserts! Previous trip, I had tried the yang zhi gan lu (mango + pomelo ice dessert) at Xue Liu Shan - a famous dessert eatery. This time round, I trooped off to Tang Cheng to try their version of the same offering.

From L to R (top row):
Tang Cheng's signage, paper napkin, yummi carrot cake


From L to R (bottom row):
Siken beancurd drizzled with sesame paste, yan zhi gan lu (not as nice as xue liu shan's and the mango bites!) and char siew buns (nice fluffy buns but the fillings were measly)
