Hi Northasia,

Firstly thanks for maintaining this thread. I will be going for a holiday in HK in mid August 2008. Can i ask a few questions plz?

1. Usually when is the sales of HK? I was told that to go at mid of the yr during HK summer time to buy some Msian friendly clothing..

2. My biggest motif to go HK is to eat!!!.. lots of dimsum, lots of roasted meat stuff, lots of hawker stuff, lots of sweet stuff like HLS. Which district do you recommend us to stay that easy to access to all fine food.. while not too inconvenient and too far from tourist attraction and shoping center? Mongkok area is good? or Kowloon?

3. I heard of the Lap Mei (roasted meat) street where the whole stretch of street is full of roasted meat stall. where exactly the location?

4. Any particular dim sum restaurant i mustn't miss or simply any one of them can kill msia dimsum? the one u linked in the first page seem to be rather "expensive" type.. smile.gif

5. Any must try wanton mee stall?

Thanks again.

Hi exshige,

1. Summer sale usually starts from end of Aug (or early Sept) till mid/end of Oct.

2. Good food is at different places around HK, as I have already mentioned in previous posts, if you've read thru the thread you must have found out that I said only if you stay in downtown, you can access to everywhere with convenient transporation of HK. Mongkok is good. I always recommend people to stay in Mongkok/Tsim Sha Tsui area.

3. Lap Mei = 臘味 = 臘腸, 臘鴨, 臘肉 which is not = Roasted meat. Roasted meat (e.g. cha siu, siu yuk) is 燒味 not 臘味, which one did you refer to? and sorry that I haven't heard of Lap Mei street in HK... maybe you can ask the person who told you about that.

4. The dim sum restaurant you mustn't miss are those I posted on #1 post.. if not I also don't need to post it out, right? Dim sum is around that price in HK, around HKD10-12 for 小點 (e.g cha siu pao), HKD12-15 for 中點 (e.g chicken feet), HKD15-18 for 大點 (e.g 雞扎), HKD20-25 for 特點/頂點 (e.g ha gao). Those cheaper one always located in far away residential area that tourists won't go, if you go there need to spend more cost on transportation & time, I think it's quite waste of time for tourist.

5. If you said must try then it will be the famous and rather expensive one... like 黃枝記 in Central. Actually those ordinary one you found in everywhere in HK are already much much better than those in m'sia.
thanks for your input.

1. end of aug.. hmm that will be a problem coz my trip is mid of aug.. there is a chance i will miss the sales omg....

2. any reason why mongkok is best? we almost book a hotel in yaumatei.

3. sorry sorry.. is not lap mei i mix up... yeah is roasted meat. is there a street will all the roasted meat stall?

4. coz u only link 1 in the first page which is the taoheong dimsum.. i went to the website and look at the picture of restaurant.. it looks like some 5 star hotel restaurant... very different from those found in Ipoh dimsum.. biggrin.gif

the price u qouted is the pricing for taoheong avg price? pricing seems ok not too expensive but ha gao at HKD20-25... is that normal price for all the dimsum shop in HK?
