Always a fan of Chinese cuisine, in recent years it’s become more of an obsession than a simple appreciation, so there was no question as to where I would stop off on my way to Sydney. I arrived in Hong Kong as I do most places – hungry and eager and with a determination to eat an amazing pork bun. And I wasn’t disappointed.
First stop – Cheung Chau
Scared off by Tripadvisor reviews of budget central HK accommodation I decided to stay a bit further out and so ended up on the little fishing island of Chenug Chau.
I headed out for my first dinner with much excitement. A plethora of bustling seafood restaurants line the ferry side of the island where sweet and sour smells fill the air. But I was confronted with quite a conundrum…eating Chinese food at home there are usually two rules I go by
- Find the restaurant with the most Chinese people eating there (er…everyone was Chinese)
- Don’t eat anywhere that has pictures in the menu (eerrr…if there were no pictures how would I know what I was ordering???)
Needless to say it didn’t work out to be my most successful dinner. I ordered crab. It came smothered in a glutinous sauce. With chopsticks. Messy.
I also ordered what I thought would be some lovely savoury dumplings. They were deep fried donought type buns with a sticky condensed milk sauce…

I really like that one. Keep up the good work on your blog.
