Even though this is a chain Japanese noodle place, their ramen and soup base is at the top quality. I recommend the Higomonzu Ramen. This is the ever popular pork bone based soup stock which is full of flavor and served generally with well stewed pork and liquid-centered coddled eggs. Also try their Nagasaki - a very rich and flavorful stock, but with hardly a trace of grease. It has a well balanced of toppings includes pork slivers, white-neck clams, squids, Japanese fish cake and a farmer's field of cabbage, chives and mushrooms. Made this dish hearty but healthy supper.

A seriously old-school eatery from the 50's and waiters who look just as antiquated. The food is not the most refined but it has a rustic solidity to it that nonetheless makes you feel that this is how life should be - simple, without pretensions. This restaurant is one of the remaining places in Hong Kong where yumcha/Dimsum is conducted in the same way as in the 60's. Be patient with the service cause there is not much. Make sure to find a sit near the kitchen when having Dimsum cause once it comes out, it is gone.

Eight famous dishes from Lin Heung are listed above this picture.

This restaurant has the most authentic "Chiu Chow" dishes in Hong Kong. Can be a little pricey. If you do not speak Chinese, no worried cause once you walk in, you will see all the cooked food in front of you. But of course there are other kitchen prepared dishes that can be ordered through the menu. Be careful when ordering menu dishes cause it can be very expensive. Even though their entrees are delicious, make sure you save room for their desserts. It is just as good.

This is a must try bakery. A little pricey but while worth it. I recommend their Mango Napoleon, the crust is very crusty and creme were not too sweet, also try their Dark Chocolate Truffle.

There are lots to choose from when you enter this bldg. If you are there in the morning, check out Mui Kee Congee or Shiu Fai Cafe. Mui Kee congee is well known among the Hong Kong residences and tourists. Must try their Meat Ball & Century Egg Congee (肉丸皮蛋粥) and Fish Belly Congee (魚腩粥). As for Shiu Fai Cafe, it is known for it western breakfast Hong Kong style. Order their French Toast with condense milk, Corn Beef & Scramble Eggs Sandwich and a cup of Mix Coffee & Milk Tea. For lunch and dinner definitely check out Yat Sing hawker. It is right behind Mui Kee Congee to the right. Their fresh steamed fish with preserved olive is a must try but watch for the tiny fish bones. Also try their any of the appetizer for beer drinkers. Sorry there are no English menu but you can just walk toward the raw foods table, choose what you want to eat and let them know how you want it cooked.

To get there - take MTR get off Mong Kok station exit B3, head toward Mong Kok Rd and the Bldg is on the right. Take elevator up to the 3rd level.
