We haven't been posting so much recently--sorry! It's only because we've been so busy showing lots of you around Hong Kong on our personally hosted walking and food tours.

We're having a blast. Each walking tour holds new surprises, because our privately guided custom tours are a bit different every time. At Little Adventures in Hong Kong, we take our cue from Hong Kong's best food stalls--you know how each one specializes in a single great dish, be it congee or fish ball noodles or wonton noodles? Well, we specialize, too--in serving up a Hong Kong experience that's made to order, just for you.

Speaking of congee, here are a couple of bowls we shared recently with Steven and his friends from Adelaide:

Mmm. Yue pin juk. Fish fillet congee. This is Little Adventure's "secret place" in Sai Ying Pun, and we're never disappointed here: it really serves up some of the best congee in Hong Kong, creamy and full of fresh ginger slices. The yauh tiu--fried dough sticks--at this neighborhood place are particularly delectable, especially when you tear them up into little pieces and mix them into the congee.

Steven only had one day in Hong Kong before he had to catch the Air Asia flight back home, so he asked us to give him a full on, great food experience in Hong Kong. We aim to please. From congee, we wandered down into Sheung Wan to sample some Chiu Chow oyster and rice soup, and of course, the famous Chiu Chow "lo seui" marinated goose. In this particular eatery, the broth for the "lo seui" has been bubbling continuously for 60 years!
(It's kind of like sourdough in San Francisco. Every day, the restaurant saves the previous days broth to start the next day's).

After a short recovery break, we met up with Steven again in Wan Chai's Bowrington Market, one of our favorite "wet markets" in Hong Kong. The fish from these vendors is so fresh and frisky they practically jump into your shopping bag!

We sampled some barbecued pork at one place, and then off to another noodle shop for some seui gau--"water dumpling"--which Steven pronounced "fantastic".

(We thought it was fantastic that Steven was still ready for more Hong Kong tastes at the end of our second meal! This is what we live for here at Little Adventures!!!)

One final stop: dessert! No visit to Hong Kong is complete without a stop at the Yee Shun Milk Company.

This may be the most sublime food memory you can take away from Hong Kong: delicately steamed fresh milk, warm and quivering, and laced with a pungently sweet fresh ginger syrup. Move over Proust! This packs more punch than any madeleine possibly could!


We hope our new friend Steven, now back home in Adelaide, has a moment or two of sweet Hong Kong deja vu from time to time.

And we look forward to launching some memorable Hong Kong food expeditions for some of you, too!

(By the way, we completely understand if Hong Kong food is not at the top of your must-do list. That's why we keep a file with dozens of different Hong Kong adventures in our back pocket. So if you want to explore cool old neighborhoods, ride a tram to the end of the line, slip into the smoky back room of an old Chinese temple, or shop for things you can only buy in Hong Kong, don't hesitate to give us a shout.)
