Yes, if it weren't for mom needing the teeth implant surgery then we would not have found this Hong Kong district for cheap and "Hong Kong-nese" food.
Had breakfast with dad this morning; the total came to HKD 50.00. That's less than CAD 10.00; it was what being included in the HKD 25.00 each that amazed us. For HKD 25.00 each of us had a cup of coffee and a pork-chop the size of my palm, scramble eggs, ham and an inch thick toast! When the plates were set in front of us, we were wowed. This couldn't be serious. We had a hard time finishing, actually didn't finish. Sorry no picture. In that type of local restaurant, best not taking picture. They would feel like we are "spy" from another competitors.
Yes, if one wants to experience the 30-years ago Hong Kong, this area is it! Warning though, if you have problem smelling salted dried fish products then get a mask.
Dinner last night was another feast. We had nice fresh scallops, still in the shells. 4 huge ones steamed with soya s and black beans. The size of the scallops.... This dish came with soup and a bowl of rice. We also ordered a plate of baby clams. Greens and then Cow stomach. Because we enjoyed the seafood so much when the cow stomach came, we were kinda turned off by the heavy meaty looking dish. The total for last night, fresh seafood and all, HKD 150.00 including tips. Less than CAD 25.00. In Regina or anywhere in Canada, cannot get ONE scallop for less than CAD 25.00 as appetizer. One thing though, the restaurant is very local. I meant "local"!
