Dim Sum Breakfast At Hak Ka Hut, Ngau Tau Kok Road, Hong Kong

Hong Kong, Day 2 - Breakfast

As usual, I do not usually sleep well when I am on holidays. It was a night of drifting in and out of sleep. On the first morning when I opened my eyes, I though I overslept. The room was bright and I quickly checked the time on my mobile phone. It showed 5.50 am. I double checked with the clock in the hall and it confirmed 5.50 am! At home in Ipoh, 5.50 am will not be this bright, it will still be dark.

I looked out from our bedroom window and at 5.50 am, this was how it looked like. To me it looked like about 7 am to me.

We were all up and ready by the time Pete, our Hong Kong host cum tourist guide arrived at the apartment. The apartment is equipped with a lovely recreational and community garden.

And also a children's playground. The whole place is clean and well maintained.

I like the well-planned spacious recreational space allocated for the comfort of the residents of the apartments.

We reached the dim sum restaurant before 8 am. It was walking distance from where we stayed. Pete immediately placed booking for a table for 7 people. This was the ticket or coupon - waiting to be seated.

We passed by the open kitchen.

We get to see the people at work in the kitchen.

A very busy place, preparing food for the customers.

Restaurant was packed with customers. Hong Kong is famous for dim sum, a must try when in Hong Kong.

Sharing table is a common practice in Hong Kong.

These saucers caught our attention. They were specially designed to hold the chopsticks in place.

We ordered both a mild and a strong Chinese Pu Erh Tea. It is a norm to be served an extra pot of hot water without asking for it.

See what the land is like and whether the people
who live there are strong or weak, few or many.
What kind of land do they live in? Is it good or bad?
What kind of towns do they live in?
Are they unwalled or fortified?
(Numbers 13:18-19, New International Version-NIV)
