The Jade Market is a great place to spend a morning browsing and soaking up the atmosphere. The market is a mecca for collectors from all over the world.

According to Chinese belief, jade wards off evil spirits and protects travellers.

Stallholders ply their trade, displaying everything from rare and valuable jade carvings to small, inexpensive trinkets. Beware of the temptation to invest in expensive jade unless you have an expert on hand to advise you.

Nearby is Jade Street, located on Canton Road between Kansu Street and Jordan Road, where shops operate from every Monday to Saturday from 10am to 4pm. A giant jade stone weighing three tons has been placed at the junction of Canton Road and Jordan Road as a landmark.

Veal Goulash

 


Curry and beef curry with spring onion pancake

 

Ordered some mutton curry and beef curry (and spring onion pancake to dip into them). Both were fantastic as the meats were extremely tender although the mutton curry stood out more because of its intense, pleasantly pungent flavour. Never thought I'd enjoy halal cuisine so much .

Cambo Thai Restaurant 金寶泰國菜館

Shrimp ball



Seafood Fried rice

Thai cuisine is my favourite and I love spicy food so much I definitely recommend this restautant if you would like to try the authentic Thai food I tried Seafood Fried rice and Shrimp ball, it's really nice!!! they are exactly the same taste as in Thailand (the one that I tried in SuanLum market) and the Thai shrimp sashimi was absolutely delicious!!! spicy.. and just get up my appetite!!! love the chilli!!!Overall, the food is good~!

Dim Sum

   

Dim Sum with Chinese Tea





 





Now enough talk about the dim sum and back to the environment issue. The place was so noisy that I had to shout. People were always on the move, either moving their asses around on their seats, turning their heads and loooking lost in the tea place, and more are always on their feet chasing after trolleys for fresh dim-sums. IT was too much for me to bear. The noise, the people, and everything were pressing on me, putting me on my nerves. Some may find such eating experience exciting but i found that completely unbearable and stressful. I guess that if you had to literally struggle through the crowd for just a bun, it would not be pleasant no matter how delicious the bun might be.

Dim sum is undeniably delicious, but i just cant stand eating in an environment as stressful as this. I eat slow, and i wish to eat somewhere i can relax and enjoy myself. If i had to follow the nerve-putting rules (which i can actually avoid, i dont have to go on weekends basically...) to eat, id rather not to.

Tofu Fa



assorted snacks



The tofu fa was not crazy shiny like its competitor, but had a much better texture (firmer but smooth) and a present soy bean taste. Unfortunately I can't say this is the best tofu-fa i've had in HK...

Anyway, I noticed on the menu they had made available many other options, such as the common black sesame paste w/ tofu fa, but even a puree of wolf-berry (small red fruit) with tofu-fa! Someone was eating it next to us....and it looked like....Chili paste... I'm still debating whether i should try this next time!

Chiu Chow Hop Shing Dessert 潮州合成甜品

綠豆邊蓮子清心丸

 


滋補紅蓮燉雪蛤

 Continuing on my Chiu Chow theme and going into one of the Chiu Chow enclaves in Kowloon City, Chiu Chow Hop Shing Dessert is a renowned old hand. Also known as the King of Lotus Seeds, and I don't particularly like lotus seeds, this is where they get it right. They are steamed soft and break down in the mouth without any chewing.

On this occasion, I ordered the split green beans with lotus seeds and a nicely chewy jelly, slightly more so than Konnyaku (綠豆邊蓮子清心丸). The broth was light and not too sweet, with the green beans providing most of the texture. The lotus seeds added another dimension of fragrance and sweetness and the jelly (清心丸) breaking up the monotony every now and then.

It was absolutely my first time to try the lovely Patisserie from Tony Wong's, how delicated~
