If you missed the part one, click here!

On second day in Hong Kong, Fat Yu again awake early and go to eat dim sum!  Can never have too much!  Other place too expensive, too many rich Hong Kong people!  Now he go to local place!  Is much cheaper and open very early!  3 am!


Place is very small, but very crowded!  Very auspicious!  Fat Yu share table with many Hong Kong people!  One China!  But again, everybody except Fat Yu speak Cantonese, so cannot talk to each other!  No matter, the ladies walk around with trays so Fat Yu can see and point to what he want!

Fat Yu again order many dishes!

Roast pork buns!  Is pretty good!  Filling salty and sweet, bread soft and delicious!


Beef balls!  (Is best part of the beef!)  Very good texture - springy and chewy!  But Fat Yu miss the crunch of water chestnut!


Shiu Mai!  Is most popular dish at the restaurant!  They make many of them, so is always fresh!  Has very good taste, even have crab roe on the top!  Very delicious!


Chicken and rice steamed in leaf!  Now this is what I talk about!  They use proper sticky rice!  Very good taste!


Shrimp dumpling!  Again, very good taste!  But, eh, not as good as Luk Yu!


5 dishes for only 100 RMB!  Is very good price!  And this time nobody laugh at Fat Yu!  Fat Yu recommend for dim sum in Hong Kong!

Fat Yu's Hong Kong Dim Sum Spectacular! Part One!

Is ancient Chinese saying, there are 3 Everlasting Truths:

1 - You are born
2 - You will die
3 - Fat Yu love dim sum!

And every one know that best dim sum in the world is in Hong Kong!  No matter that dim sum originally from Guangzhou - now Hong Kong dim sum better than original!

But AIYA!  Where to go?!  So many place to choose from, and Hong Kong very different than real China!  Hong Kong people look down on Fat Yu because he is from real China and no speak Cantonese!  (What did these 死鬼佬 do to our Chinese unity?!)

Lucky that Fat Yu have Hong Kong friend who recommend many dim sum place!  Fat Yu only in Hong Kong two days, so he try two places!

First place is famous Luk Yu Teahouse in Central!  Is on Stanley Street!  (What kind of names are these?!  What did these 死鬼佬 do to our street names?!)  Nevermind, is famous for dim sum and is very old and beautiful inside!


Fat Yu go very early - 8 in the morning!  Is many rich Hong Kong men inside eating the breakfast!  Hong Kong old lady with steam trays hanging from the necks walk around with different dishes!  Fat Yu no speak Cantonese, so they open steam tray so he can see inside!  Fat Yu order many dishes!

Roast pork bun!  Very delicious!  Bread is light and fluffy, inside sweet, just like Shanghai person like!


Shrimp dumpling!  Has pure taste of shrimp, and skin very delicate, not too thick like in Guangzhou!


Pork spare rib!  (Even come with tiny mantou!)  Eh, this one just OK!  But Fuk Yu Luk Yu no use black bean in the spare rib!  Fat Yu likes black bean taste in the spare rib!


Pork and mushroom wrapped in tofu skin!  This one also just OK!  Mushroom taste is delicious, but pork too tough!  And not wrapped tight enough!  Spill all over Fat Yu - Hong Kong people laugh at me!


Final, rice steamed in leaf!  Eh, this one not so good!  They use regular rice instead of sticky rice!  Just taste like fried rice!  Fat Yu like fried rice, but love sticky rice in leaf!  (What did these 死鬼佬 do to our rice?!)


Fat Yu is happy to go to famous dim sum place, but is expensive!  300 RMB!  Too much money - Fat Yu not rich like the rich men having the breakfast!  I am not Rich Yu...



I Am Fat Yu!



Nonradioactive Sushi!

Fat Yu never forget what Japanese did to Shanghai people!  But, eh, sushi taste good!  Japanese people say that sushi in China not as good as sushi in Japan!

But at least fish in China not radioactive!  Instead, is beautiful!  And will not turn Fat Yu into Fat Godzilla!
