Hong Kong, Day 4 - Fa Yuen Street at Mong Kok.
As usual we set out early with Pete as our tour guide. Today, Pete will be taking us to Mong Kok for breakfast and after that a short visit to Fa Yuen street.
While waiting for the apartment door to be locked, we waited at the corridor. We cannot help but noticed the cleanliness of the whole place.
On the common ground of the apartment blocks. A clean and a neat place, very maintained.
A layout of the apartment blocks.
We travelled by MTR from Ngau Tau Kok to Mong Kok, 9 stops away.
Took a snapshot of the route layout on the MTR, very informative. Upon reaching Mong Kok, we went straight for our breakfast. For those who are interested to know what we ate for breakfast, click here.
After our delightful breakfast, we took a walk around the area. We walked along Mong Kok Road.
We also walked along Tung Choi Street.
We passed by many shops selling aquariums, accessories and fishes.
Many varieties of colourful fighting fishes.
Making our way to the popular Fa Yuen Street.
And here we were at the popular Fa Yuen Street.
This is the Fa Yuen street market. People and stalls filled up the street.
A very busy and crowded place. Both sides of road lined with stalls.
An interesting place to look around and compare the prices. I am a hopeless shopaholic so I didn't buy anything.
Our next stop was to try out Hong Kong's sweet dessert, the soybean milk pudding (tofu fa).
Because of the poor lighting, the photo did not turn out well. the soybean milk pudding is supposed to be white but you can still see the silky smooth texture of the pudding.
There was no seat available, so we stood and ate the soybean milk pudding.
The soybean milk pudding was silky smooth and tasty.
Besides the soybean milk pudding, there were many other food varieties on sale. Food on skewers and different sauces to go with.
Different varieties of fish and meat balls, sausages, nuggets, etc.
This looked like braised beef and innards. We didn't try any of this as we were not hungry yet.
They will never again be hungry or thirsty;
they will never be scorched by the heat of the sun.
For the Lamb on the throne will be their Shepherd.
He will lead them to springs of life-giving water.
And God will wipe every tear from their eyes.
(Revelation 7:16-17, New Living Translation-NLT)
