Bittersweet Visit to Hong Kong

An unfortunate event brought us back to HK end of March.  Since it’ll be a while before we visit again, we decided to pig out.  We just had to stuff our faces with the amazingly cheap and yummy food that HK offers.   We visited old favourites and found new loves. 
Polo Bun from Kam Wah Cafe - a new discovery from last year
 

Crispy BBQ pork buns from Tim Ho Wan
 

















We didn`t plan on eating at Tim Ho Wan as on the day of our arrival to HK, Tomy`s brother had tried going to their Mong Kok location with no luck.  Since we would only be free to explore HK for two full days, we decided to pass on it.  However on our last day there, we walked by the Sham Shui Po location and surprisingly no lineups.  Since we were already full but didn`t want to pass on the chance to try something, we went for the popular crispy bbq pork bun.   We fell in love…however it`ll be awhile before we can have dim sum at the world`s cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant.
I'm so jet-lagged right now...couldn't sleep all night.   It must be age, don't recall it being so hard to get over jetlag.
