Yuen Kee @ Kimberley Road, Tsim Sha Tsui

# Read trip summary here

So lucky for those who born in Hong Kong. Why? Look at the 牛杂...

This is my lunch at Kimberley Road (金巴利道) and it's so delicious. I have no complaint about my bowl of noodle, with cowhells (牛筋), tripe (牛肚), meat, etc., even SG who usually not prefer beef also give a thumb up to this. I always thought Chinese will eat pork more than beef, but this statement somehow not that true in Hong Kong. In almost all cha chaan teng that we have visited, they also serve this, the only difference is either okay, good, or very good, I've never stumble upon a bad one (so lucky...).

We also ordered the typical Hong Kong tea (奶茶) and a 菠萝包 (don't know what the name in English is). Second try on their tea, but still cannot accept it as good, have to wait until I've sampled the most famous tea in Hong Kong then only I can conclude this. The 菠萝包 is a typical snack for tea time, it's something new to me, not bad but I don't think I will order this too often. Simple 3 orders cost us HKD 38.
