huwag kayo diyan....tourist trap ang lugar na yan....if you want cheaper seafood go to north point public market sa 2nd floor. parang dampa din ang style.

Yan ba yung malapit sa City Garden & Newton Hotel? Yung may footbridge going to the Fortress Hill MTR station?

Maaga yatang nagsasara yang palengke na yan, mga 8pm nakababa na mga roll-up doors nila. Meron bang escalators yang palengke? Tapos may nagbebenta ng parang ma-chang sa baba ng escalator? Naninigurado lang

nasa 2nd floor parang hawker style.

Ok, try namin dun. Meron din palang malapit na shabu-shabu resto dyan. Masarap din.

May masuggest ka pang ibang makakainan na kakaiba? Puro kasi mga eating machine ang kasama ko

Teka, nagcheck ako sa map, yung sinasabi kong palengke is in Electric Rd. parallel to King's Rd. Wala akong makitang Queen's Rd.

We'll be in Hong Kong for 2 days after attending the Canton Fair Phase 1. Kasama ko mga friends ko dito. Ano ba ok na mga kainan sa HK dahil yun lang balak naming gawin dun

And does anybody know where this is:

Sir, baka Lamma Island yan .... that's very famous for seafood restaurants although medyo "touristy" nga ang place.

another good place for seafoods is Sai Kung ... but medyo malayo na yan.

Pagsinabi nyo bang touristy or tourist trap yung place, do you mean na masyadong mahal ang mga bilihin or pagkain sa place na yun?

i used "touristy" to mean that it is generally visited by tour groups and tourists ... which generally also implies it is higher priced.
i think "tourist traps" is an even worse connotation ... meaning these places are excessively priced or even employs unfair/illegal practices.

the few times I've eaten at Lamma Island is when we have office functions or when we entertain foreign guests so I don't know exactly what the prices are

Yung night market sa Jordan, marami ring mga hawkers dun, halos lahat ng dimsum ang binebenta. Hindi nga lang namin natikman ni misis kasi we just had dinner.

Pero mukhang masarap, kasi malayo pa lang, naaamoy na namin eh.
