Travel guide to Stanley

There are so many websites that I can't finish typing. Finally, I will give you a short-term travel guide. The following are places to eat and their characteristics. I hope you like them.

From Yu Danfen to Seascape Dinner.

However, shopping is an important theme for visitors to Hong Kong, especially during the peak discount season at the end of the year and the beginning of the year. When they are satisfied with their big bags and small bags, eating is often a "shopping" intermission. So far, this has somewhat failed the food in Hong Kong.

Eating in Hong Kong, especially visiting tea houses of various kinds, has an indescribable kindness. If you think about it carefully, it's probably popularity. Hong Kong people love to eat and know how to eat. With a broad mass base, a special geographical location and a long-term historical background of Chinese and foreign cultures, Hong Kong's diet is spectacular.

It is said that the pace of life in Hong Kong is fast. Even the elevators on the subway are faster than those in Beijing. But you don't need special observation, you will find that restaurants, porridge shops and dessert shops on the street will never lack diners, and the pots of fish ball snack stalls will always boil, waiting for passers-by to rinse and leave.

One of the themes: civilian spirit

Dechang Fish Egg Powder Shop is a famous snack bar in Hong Kong. Fish balls are the signature here, and it won the highest honor award of the "Best Food Award" snack group in 2001.

According to our friends in Hong Kong, the hour we went to was past the peak, but the house was full and the store was simple beyond my expectation, which can only be described as "big stall" in our impression. There are only eight or nine tables in a small storefront, and four or five strangers are crowded around the table. If you order more, it will not fit on the table, so you must eat it as soon as possible. It seems that many years ago, the state-owned time-honored brand was eaten by several people here, and there were several people standing next to it. There are still people waiting at the door of Dechang, and the boss doesn't rush you. The people waiting are also very patient. Fish skin dumplings are full of soup, and shrimps in Wonton Noodles are big and full, with two or three complete ones. Hong Kong people love to eat fish balls very much. The big tendon here is made of real materials, unlike some families who use flour to mix it.

So far, Dechang has only two small shops like this. Hong Kong is a place where professional ability is emphasized. Making fish balls is not about the size of the store. As long as it is famous, it is a champion in the fish ball industry, and the boss is very satisfied.

The biggest and most expensive is not necessarily the best. Take Dechang as an example. Taxi drivers with an open chest and a thick gold chain around their necks will stop at Dechang to prick up, and white-collar workers with elegant uniforms and delicate faces will also lean in, without any discomfort. Restaurants that are ridiculously expensive in the Mainland, the dishes are not satisfactory, or the customers can be filled by the theme of packaging, it seems that it is difficult to be popular in Hong Kong. The pragmatic taste in the joy of your breath can somewhat reflect the characteristics of Hong Kong people. As Cai Lan, a famous Hong Kong food critic, said, "The most primitive and basic civilian dishes are the best delicacies."

Theme 2: traditional flowers bloom undefeated

In other words, there is a "Spicy Crab Shop" in Cai Lan Food Shop, which is famous far and wide. The "Typhoon Shelter" in Causeway Bay was a place for singing and eating every night in the 1970s and 1980s. Celebrities, lovers and tourists are enjoying the breeze in Victoria Harbour, sitting in a fisherman's boat, tasting seafood at sea, and enjoying the beautiful rhyme of the singer. In the mid-1990s, it was closed by the government for reclamation. Brother Ji, the crab master of "Hot Crab Workshop", was the old master who had been frying crabs in "Typhoon Shelter" for decades. The crabs here are all imported from Vietnam, and they are big. After frying, the meat is white and red, and the heat is just right. If there is more, it will smell like garlic, and if there is less, it will not taste. Stir-fried crab with ancient method is the specialty of Brother Ji, and it tastes delicious, which makes Hong Kong people who are not used to spicy food unable to put it down. If you are a spicy person, choosing the "big spicy, crazy spicy" taste must be very enjoyable. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer masters who can fry authentic "typhoon shelters" and fry crabs. It is a pity, but it is also rare.

There is another snack shop "Old Hong Kong" in Cai Lan food court, which sells some sour and sweet snacks made of mango and lemon and a kind of "Tintin Sugar". Older Hong Kong people said that they liked this kind of candy best when they were young, because it was very long, and they had to knock it into sections with tools every time, hence the name. It's rarely eaten now.

Apart from childhood, what can food remind you of? Probably my hometown. Half a century ago, it developed from a roasted food stall to today's famous Chinese restaurant in Hong Kong-"Yong Ji". Roasted goose is the most famous, and some Hong Kong people who emigrated overseas never forget it. Every time they leave Hong Kong and board the plane, they have to take the roasted goose with them, so it is also called "Flying Roasted Goose".

Theme 3: Seascape Dinner

The unique geographical location enables Hong Kong to eat fresh and cheap seafood all year round, including local seafood, coastal seafood from the mainland and seafood from Southeast Asia. There are many kinds of seafood practices, and they are constantly innovating. There are three traditional places to eat seafood in Hong Kong: Saigon, Lamma Island and Lei Yue Mun. Eating seafood with seascape is not only fresh, but also unique.

Saigon used to be a fishing port, but now it is also a relatively high-end residential area except for the descendants of some fishermen. There are private yachts parked in the bay, ranging from one million to tens of millions. There are many European bars on the roadside. There is a big fish tank outside the seafood restaurant.

Lamma Island is one of the outlying islands in Hong Kong. It is quiet and peaceful and full of natural flavor. Its characteristic is that some fishermen's villages are very rustic and simple, and the big movie star Chow Yun Fat was born here.

Bowl wings, known as "civilian shark's fin", all taste like shark's fin, but they are not smooth between the tongues. It turns out that chicken is cut into thin shreds and "impersonated" shark's fin.

The so-called Chezai noodles are more about eating the ingredients inside. On the basis of noodles and soup, dozens of ingredients such as radish, mushrooms, tribute pills, squid, pigskin, fish balls and beef brisket are added at will, and the soup is thick, which is truly "rich and frugal", ranging from a dozen yuan to two or three hundred yuan.

There are 18 districts in Hong Kong. In the 18 months since last year, there has been a carnival in one district every month, and a carnival in one street and one community every week. There are food, drinks, performances and sales, which are very lively. Such activities creatively organized by the government continue all year round, which not only attracts business travelers who come to Hong Kong for the first time or many times, but also makes Hong Kong people enjoy it. The luxury houses on the top of the mountain and the life of the upper class are unimaginable for urban civilians living in public housing in the New Territories, and this kind of low-cost entertainment is within their reach. Compared with the mainland's tourism resources, Hong Kong's is really limited, but their professionalism and innovation are admirable.

Theme 5: Dessert Master

Saigon is a good place to rest and have a holiday. Without the prosperity of Hong Kong and Kowloon and the oppressive feeling of skyscrapers, it has become more quiet and leisurely, and Manji dessert shop has added a touch of sweetness to it. The most famous dessert here is "Yangzhi Jinlu", which is made of sago and mango, with a little acid in the sweetness. The glutinous fragrance and softness of mango wrapped in sago slipped into the mouth from the tip of the tongue, and everything suddenly softened and it was unspeakable. There is also a very nice name called "Xun Mei in the Snow". What is it? I don't know. Try it yourself.

There are many interesting places in the small "Man Ji". There are two shops adjacent to the "Man Ji". The one in weddings, which is slightly poorly decorated, is only a few of us. Just when I was surprised, my friend explained that this is a non-durian area and there is a durian area. Strange! I've only heard of "smoking area" and "non-smoking area", and durian should be eaten separately, just because it stinks!

There is an antique plaque on the wall of Manji, with four characters written in regular script "Gao Peng Man Ji". I was admiring the writer's ingenuity, but I caught a glimpse of the signature, which was a big surprise: "The 13th aunt of Huang Feihong gave it to me". I didn't think that the 13th aunt left Mo Bao here, which is not an antique, but also a treasure. When I think about it, Manji is not a well-known old brand at home and abroad, but it is also a well-known old shop. Chasing the man in the shop, the aunt kept asking questions, but few people could not speak Mandarin, and some friends were doing translation, tossing and turning. It turned out that this plaque was sent by the owner's neighbor neighborhood. As for why this neighborhood dared to take the names of Huang Daxia and thirteen aunts, I couldn't explain it clearly, so this "impostor" copyright lawsuit has been bothering me, and maybe there will be an answer next time.

Hong Kong people's love for desserts is like a raging river. The signboard of "Xu Liushan" with the golden dragon on the red background is still very eye-catching in the streets of Hong Kong where there are many signboards. More than 50 chain stores in Hong Kong have proved their popularity. The small pavement is filled with fluttering dessert leaflets, and the colorful peeled fruits are as fresh and lovely as the Chinese medicine shop.

Mango, papaya, durian with sago dew, ice cream and milk pudding make a perfect match for ever-changing desserts. MM, who likes sweets, has a good time and is worried in her heart. When will it be eaten all over?

Guangdong people like to drink sugar water, which is a sweet soup to eat after meals. Its functions are nourishing and reducing fire, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, balancing dryness and heat, and regulating the stomach.

Lan Kwai Fong and Soho District in Central are the gathering places of western food, with all kinds of tastes from Spain, Russia, Northern Europe, Malaysia to Nepal.

Lan Kwai Fong is the stronghold of Hong Kong's fashionable nightlife. There are all kinds of bars and restaurants all over the L-shaped winding streets. When the neon night comes, there are many Chinese and foreign men and women looking for pleasure here. The proportion of China people and foreigners is equal. Here you may meet entertainment stars in Hong Kong, and of course there are paparazzi lurking around. The carnival in Lan Kwai Fong was even more crowded, and the police uncle guarded the entrance and limited the release. The dance music is hot and sultry. Here, a hot dancer just passed by, and the lion dance team was playing with excitement there. Hong Kong people can always come up with a variety of ways to play. Rich people spend money like water, but civilians can also enjoy themselves. Lan Kwai Fong in the daytime seems a little ordinary without the wildness of the night. At this time, tourists and families are the main people.

Murray Building in Stanley was built in 1844. It was originally located in Admiralty Garden Road (the present site of China Bank) and was used as the dormitory of British troops stationed in Hong Kong at that time. When it was demolished in 1982, more than 3,000 granite stones were numbered and rebuilt in Stanley in 1988. Now there are four high-end restaurants, including Spanish food and Thai food. The golden beach under the setting sun is as warm as your eyes facing your lover. The lights in the corridor light up, and the waiter in white uniform brings you the first course of candlelight dinner. The sea breeze blows the coconut trees.

Repulse Bay is the most famous beach in Hong Kong, with fine sand and clear water. Repulse Bay Shadow Bay Garden, formerly known as Repulse Bay Hotel, has an aristocratic colonial mood, which naturally reminds people of Love in a Fallen City. The love story between Bai Liusu and Fan Liuyuan is still endlessly interpreted by modern men and women. This romantic Repulse Bay and elegant English afternoon tea have become their best stage. When the old English ceiling fan in the terrace restaurant slowly shook, palm trees danced with the breeze sent to the sea, and a look and a sweet word had a different flavor, and a good play that only belonged to two people began.

Theme 7: the greatest reward of the essence

If you want to eat the best Hong Kong food as quickly as possible and satisfy your picky appetite, there is a shortcut. The event "The Best Appreciation of Hong Kong Cuisine" is an annual event organized by the Hong Kong Tourism Board since 2001, and is known as "the highest competition in the food industry in Hong Kong". All kinds of catering owners in Hong Kong can sign up to participate, and through a series of procedures such as online voting, undercover reconnaissance and tasting, the final restaurant is selected. These dishes participating in the competition are not like those expensive sea cucumber and abalone wings in the movie "Man Han Quan Banquet". Many of them are ordinary home-cooked dishes, and the winning dishes are also available on the menu of the restaurant, and the selling prices are mostly in the middle range.

This is a free publicity opportunity, and large and small restaurants in Hong Kong have actively participated. All the food is equal. This year, 40 restaurants entered the final competition of four groups. All kinds of dishes can be called the top works of Chinese cuisine in terms of color, fragrance and taste. Just one look can't help but make people drool. All the dishes recommended here have won the "highest honor gold medal" (the highest prize).

Cai Lan is one of the four gifted talents in Hong Kong. He thinks that the best way to enjoy life is to travel and eat food, so that the unfamiliar can become familiar, and the local cultural background and living conditions can be understood. The so-called beauty company, what can a husband ask for?

Cable railway:

Cable railway, also known as cable car, is a kind of mountaineering railway: a car similar to a tram is tied with cables and dragged on steep tracks. The power device of the cable car is placed in the station, and the machine on the car is very simple, so it is very suitable for climbing very inclined slopes.
