Hong Kong day 4

We kick start our nothing with  dim sum from "Tim Ho Wan ", a one star Michelin star award winning restaurant. As expected, the queue was overwhelming.
The food was okay, similar to other branch in other parts of the world.  The fried carrot cake and pork bun is still the best dish to order there.

You can ask for a container to take away in case you can't finish. We ate about 145 HKD for these meals which I find it very reasonable.

Our next stop was to take the tram to Victoria peak.  The queue was horrible around 11am on a Sunday .

Fortunately,  the view above was clear.  We chilled and look around the place before heading down  hours later.
Around 5pm, the queue was faster and we waited around 30 min plus to get down.
Lady stop of the day was the "ladies market " at Tung Choi street.

The place was good for bargaining for souvenirs. We only managed to bargain 6 Keychains for 65 HKD but were not brave enough to ask for a lower price. Since it is sold at the peak for 80hkd, I consider that okay.  We ate smelly tofu ($12 HKD per piece) ,  curry fish ball, egglets and drank "gong cha " while watching un the street performers singing.

Curry fish ball and egglet makes an awesome snack.
Beware:Smelly tofu might not be suitable for everyone! Try at your own risk. 
 End of the day.
