ailema feliciano: Day 10: Yung Kee Restaurant and Pumpernickel

We went for a swim that morning. The rooftop swimming pool boasts of the 360 view of the harbour. It was amazing! Our room was amazng too. We had harbour view. :)

Yung Kee Restaurant:

We were hungry so we consulted the book. Luke asked me if I wanted some dumplings and I said yes. He said, according to the book, Yung Kee, a Michelin Star Restaurant, serves dumplings from 2PM. We both haven't been to a Michelin Star Restaurant before so this would be a good experience for us.

The restaurant was packed but since they own the whole building, there were no shortage of tables, I assume. We were seated on the 4th floor, the VIP Section. I still don't know the reason why they took us there. All I know is that, we were lucky to get a table. :)

This place gives a Chinese Mafia feel. Sliding doors, connecting rooms, dark wood, crazy carpet and people playing Mahjong on the next door.

When we place our order, the lady suggested Century Egg. As I am open to experiencing everything, I said yes immediately. I don't like the jelly look to it.

I had a hard time swallowing it. Good thing we only have half each. :P

Then we had egg tarts. I ate so much Egg Tart on this trip.

Crispy Pork Dumpling.

Then we had steam buns. I love steam buns. Theirs is delicious!!! We also had ribs, steamed vegetable dumpling and tripe. I thought it will come in small strips, but it didn't. Luke doesn't wanna try it so I ended up eating almost everything. I felt like I was a contender on Fear Factor. It was very hard to swallow at the end.

At Central:

This was totally random. While Luke and I are walking in Central, I saw a friend from the UK. He said he moved in HK last December. I told him that I was in HK last December. He was on his way to work and he seems like he's in a hurry so I told Luke to took a photo of him and me. :)

We went to the Wanchai, to the Kung Fu Shop, to Sneaker Street in Mongkok and to other night markets that day. Still, I didn't find anything nice and cheap. We also went to the high end stores in Central.

At Pumpernickel:
