My Hong Kong adventures Part 1 - Yum Cha!

I haven't done a foodie post in a while so I thought I would make you all drool with some HK food posts over the next few days xp I LOVE food and part of the fun in going to Hong Kong is eating LOADS! I eat about 4 meals plus dessert and midnight snack when I'm over there haha. The morning always starts off with delicious yum cha with my grandparents. My grandparents go to yumcha EVERY SINGLE DAY of the year (minus public holidays) and have done so for the past 30 odd years or something. CRAZY!

You can hover over the pictures for a little explanation and all images are clickable so you can see pure foodie action =D Now let the food fun begin!

My next food adventure post will feature my favourite food groups snacks and desserts so check back!

I would have liked to do a more lifestyle post with more pictures of HK but I didn't take all that many. I mainly took pics of food and family and highlights of Macau (upcoming post too!). I guess because I go every year I'm not so in awe anymore. I'll leave you with a bonus pic of Tsim Sha Tsui though:

Thanks for looking ladies! Hope you're all having an OK week so far =D

    It looks so delicious! Im exited about Asian foods because they are unusual here in Finland. We also have a very poor food culture, thats sad. Only meatballs an mashed potatos...

    Umm, it all looks yummy. You could share the recipes, if you have them -especially those which don't require hard-to-find ingredients.

    Everything looks delicious! A lot of the dim sums look similar to what we can eat here but I'm sure HK ones are way tastier! I would love to go to HK just for the food. I think I'd gain a lot after a vacation there :P Come to think of it I haven't been back for 17 years =.=
