Happy Father's Day

Another western & commercialize celebration which I have forgotten about it when I asked my wife what for dinner after my game of golf yesterday.
We gathered at my Father-in-law’s house and a total of 16 people have yet to decide or plan where to dine that night.
After much checking, we visited Restoran Ang Kee for the celebration, a walking distance from our place of meeting.

Light Rail Transit (LRT) @ Kuala Lumpur

I took a train from Masjid Jamek station to Ampang Station for my meeting @ PNB Darby Park. It was a RM1.60 one way ride. I do not know whether this is an austerity move to curb the 40% increase in fuel price currently & severely faced by the people of Malaysia but I do notice that the condition of the station is deteriorating with paintwork fading or peeling off. Guess the Government has do something especially we are trying to promote tourism in our country.

The King of Exploding Beef Balls

It was somewhere in Mongkok @ Bute Street we went into a shop with the name of “Lok Yuen King of Beef Ball” Chiu Chau Noodle. Apparently they have several branches around Hong Kong. We ordered several types and it was too much to stomach but we managed to finish them off.
This famous outlet is also being promoted and listed in the Hong Kong Tourist Brochure - a 50 must try snacks.
The place was crowded with people on a Saturday evening.
Fish Balls
Fish Dumplings
Fish Maw Balls

Beef Balls

All are very explosive. I accidentally hurt Jo face twice while sinking my teeth into the balls
There is even a movie about these exploding beef balls.Mongkok on a Saturday Night is always packed with people. Hong Kong such a small place, little space, little room, small corner and hardly any greenery in Mongkok area.

Wonton Noodle @ Mak Mun Kee

From Hong Kong Island we took the opportunity to cross back to Kowloon using the Ferry service. From Tsim Sha Tsui MRT station, we headed for Jordan station for Wonton Noodle Hunt........Without much difficulty we found Mak Mun Kee located at Parke Street, we sampled the followings:-
Dry wonton noodle,
Wonton Noodle wet type

The wontons are placed underneath the noodle.
