On the first morning, we didn’t know where to eat except scouting around the hotel we stayed.
Though I had checked with the hotel receptionist and a newsstand owner, we still went on our way. But our plan was hampered by rain.

It was still a rainy day. Not heavy but drizzling.
They came to our hotel. We met up with Kathy, my wife’s friend who lives in Hong Kong, and her 5-year old son, Adrian.
Kathy has settled down in Hong Kong with her husband and they started a family here. Her husband was working that day and could only join us for dinner later. [Read more…]

We met up with Gordon, Kathy’s husband, for dinner.
Gordon had already reserved a table for us. It was indeed full at the restaurant when we reached. Lin Heung Tea House is one of the rare restaurants which still preserves the traditional look of an old Hong Kong restaurant.
Lin Heung Tea House is famous for its Hong Kong dim sum in the morning. And it is listed as one of the 10 things to do in Hong Kong by the Time magazine.

It was about noon when we were done with the breakfast and prepared to go to Hong Kong Disneyland by MTR. [Read more…]
