Macau/Hong Kong - Day 3 ( Part 3 )

Times flies. It is time for our 大闸蟹. We went to Mong Kok. Back to the MTR and we were at Mong Kok in a flash. It was similar to Causeway Bay and streets was also closed. We KLKK while finding a place for 大闸蟹. While KLKK, we went to 女人街 but there was nothing much to buy, more of just a look see look see.

Apparently 血盆 liked to eat 臭豆腐 so I tried my first 臭豆腐. It wasn’t that bad though the smell was quite pungent. But it was so 酥脆 that the smell became secondary. Then with the sauce, it was quite tasty. Probably it was a much savory version.


Somehow, there wasn’t a lot of 大闸蟹 places. But lucky we saw Chao Inn again, Yes the one we had the yum cha.

They have a branch there and the 大闸蟹 was only going for $48 HKD each. We went for it as we do not want to miss going to “The Peak”.

We were early so not much people but people started to trickle in as dinner time approached. Braised goose meat, pork ribs, vege, twin mix prawn/crab rolls and of course 大闸蟹.

The dishes were good. The goose slices are tender and goes well with the sauce. But of course, we came for the 大闸蟹 but frankly speaking, I was quite disappointed, because it was abit ordinary.

And we read from ST Lifestyle, there was a certain method in eating 大闸蟹 and more important some parts cannot be eaten. But cannot deny that the roe was really good, that was the only good part. Probably it was small, so the effort to get the meat out does not really satisfy the craving. Overall, a good meal.

The roe which was so good and also so unhealthy
