HK 2013 – Claypot Rice War @ Temple Street

November 26, 2013 | 11,704 views

Claypot Chicken & Wax Sausage Rice

 Claypot Rice is one of the staple item in a rice-loving Chinese community of Hong Kong; especially in the cooler season whereby huddling over a warm pot of rice cooked with various meats; fresh or preserved, sounds very inviting.

After the ‘yum cha’ session at Sheung Wan’s Teakha (not your conventional idea of ‘yum cha’ though, as this was a cafe at a back alley serving cakes and coffee), we went even further west past Sheung Wan MTR station; towards the west coast of Hong Kong island. Of course, if walking’s never in your dictionary (shame on you …), then by all means you can take the tram running the east-west direction across Des Vouex Road to commute.

Our destination? Claypot rice at Kwun Kee on Queen’s Road West; one of the most talked about claypot rice stall in all of Hong Kong. But as luck would have it ….

Kwan Kee Claypot Rice @ Sheung Wan

 Kwun Kee Claypot Rice does not open until 6pm onwards on a Sunday. We were there about an hour before, with nowhere else to kill time. Thus … we left with tails between our legs.

Hong Kong/Macau 2008 – The Mongkok Rush & Temple Street in Hong Kong

September 26, 2008 | 11,274 views
Continuation from Day Two in Macau ….
For a satisfying, yet cheap breakfast, look for McCafe @ McDonald’s, located at Largo do Senado
Just realised in my previous post on Macau, I skipped a supper meal at a noodle shop beside Leitaria I Son (Yishun Milk Company) at Largo do Senado. It was not intended, of course, but in someway, I’m pretty glad the ‘ordeal‘ was over. The food was really BAD (we ordered Char Siew Noodles, Wanton Noodles, and Cheong Fun with PEANUT sauce), and pricey to boot, adding salt to the wounds. Remember, avoid that noodle shop beside Yishun, AT ALL COST.
That minor flaw aside, the next morning we decided to give McDonald’s in Macau a try. The breakfast sets on offer are aplenty, though no doubt intimidating narrowing down your choices while standing at the counter, no thanks to our harrowing experience with the customs and the airport staff at Macau. But we were pleasantly surprised at the courtesy level of the staff manning the counter, and the supervisor welcoming & ushering the patrons. A sigh of relief, breathing some hope to Macau’s hospitality gauge?
