After dim sum at 莲香楼, time still very early (~8:15 am), what can we do now? Take a short walk along Central's main roads: Queen's Road Central (皇后大道中), Des Voeux Rd. Central (德辅道中) and Connaught Road Central (干诺道中) is really a good option, because there are a lot of spectacular buildings along these roads, besides, you can also check out how Hong Kong OL dress up ;-)
HSBC Main Buiding and Legislative Council Building, only can show you 2 photos as the others are either not nice or contain our face. From Central, we travelled to Wan Chai (湾仔) by tram with merely HKD 2 per person. Visit Wan Chai because I heard that Kam Fung Cafe (金凤茶餐厅) has great prestige with Hong Kong milk tea (奶茶).
And here is the famous Kam Fung cold milk tea (HKD 13), best record sold 200 cups in 2 hours. It is smooth but again I don't like the taste (yet), more enjoy the butter polo bun (HKD 4.50). Most tables ordered the penne in clear soup, must try this next time as I'm already full.We spend the next 2 hours window-shopping at Time Square, Sogo and some shops around Causeway Bay, didn't try any food there except a cup of latte from Pret a Manger (HKD 26), should have more sandwiches chain shops like this in KL because I love sandwiches :-)
Go back to Central again by tram to have lunch at Honolulu Coffee Shop (檀岛), the initial plan is to try the roasted goose at Yung Kee (镛记), but too bad it already sold out. Read from somewhere Honolulu's egg tart also one of the best in Hong Kong and has been around for 40 years, sounds like a must try therefore become our 2nd choice after Yung Kee.
I know instant noodle is not healthy but I love it, so still ordered it with roasted duck and char siu. The not healthy noodle is good to me ;-), but the signature coffee taste a bit bitter and smell like charcoal roasted, not really fond of the smell. Their egg tart is almost like Tong Kee's in KL, I think the quality more stable as they managed to sell about 4000 pieces a day! The lunch costs HKD 45.Kam Fung Cafe (金凤茶餐厅)

Really wish Pret a Manger will open here in KL. It have lots of variety of sandwich. Read that their most expensive is lobster sandwich.

If you like egg tarts you've gotta try the one on Lyndhurst just west of the escalator and before Pac Coffee.
Check out my HK food blog if you're looking for ideas in the city.
