You can also get it from Causeway Bay Sogo Basement Food Hall. Han Heung has a counter there. This one will be easier to locate.starlight1968sg,
Yes, there's a Han Heung wife biscuit outlet near Yau Ma Tei MTR. It's along Nathan Road, walk down towards Mongkok MTR & the shop is on the left. Not a very big shop though. Hope this info helps;) -
starlight1968sg:
if you go to sheung wan (mtr station: sheung wan), this area is the hoi mei (scallops, sharksfins etc etc) distribution area. Here, you can find some shops that sell the tasty noodles used for wonton noodles (dried version). Different flavours like plain egg noodles, the tasty prawn paste coated noodles. Nicely packed up in boxes.
Am thinking of buying some made in HK instant noodles back!cherrygal:
Why are you eating instant noodles in HK - food paradise?
I wouldn't touch instant noodles if I were you coz all the noodles sold there are made in China now. -

My fren who works in HK paid for the Yung Kee meal so I didn't get to see the prices but the 2 of us only ordered a small plate of sliced goose, a plate of 2 century eggs, tiny plate of mixed roasted meats, plain broccoli and rice and the bill came up to S$100+ and I heard her gasp... ehehehcherrygal:
In the past, we were able to bring home to Singapore a whole roasted goose! So you better enjoy the goose while you are there. Tried Yung Kee - good but super expensive. I tried roasted goose at another cha chan teng near Peninsula Hotel and it was much cheaper. Cannot remember the name.
how much is considered expensive for a roasted goose? If only 2 person travelling, how to finish 1 goose. Can order half goose?
I will be staying near Penninsular Hotel. Will keep a look out for the cheaper goose
The last time I went to that cha chan teng, I just bought a roasted goose leg/drumstick with rice which cost me HKD60 (Yungkee's costs HKD78) if I didn't remember wrongly.
No need to buy the whole goose. Think it's about HKD400 - 460+ per bird. -
ok, test question for those going HK ā
what is the difference between Wan Chai and Chai Wan ? -

I recall Yung Kee had half and quarter potions. I'm sure other restaurants have them too. Enjoy eating! -

haha... at least the chinese characters are different.
I have not been to these 2 places in HK. -
after reading the suggestions, I wonder if I am going there to work or bringing goodies back

dimsum, are the shops just directly outside the MTR? My sis was talking about some very nice dried noodles that are sold by weight. Maybe she is referring to this. Any particular shop to recommend?

is a common joke from Hongkonger telling foreigner to distinguish the two MTR stations......Wan Chai is of course downtown HK near Central, Chai Wan is the other end of the MTR line ..... their \"kampung\" equivalent perhaps.....
