The restaurants close quite early from Koreans' view who are totally spoiled with bunch of restaurants open 24 hours. It was after 8:30 when the private is over, and I finally found one place open 24 hours after some searching.

Going to the first destination.

Shanghai Lane failed.

Kau Kee Food Cafe. 

And we are finally here after more than a hour of wandering around. The outdoor table is just perfect to feel like locals.

You can order with mobile phones after following the link you get from the QR code.

The table number is already included in the QR code, so you can just begin to order and pay. 

The old Chinese style of serving chopsticks and spoons, which is to clean your own chopsticks with hot water.

Fried Rice Vermicelli in Xiamen Style 42

Tsintao 27

Workout crew is having late dinner, without alcohol! It was even strange to me to see many Hong Kong people eat meal without alcohol, not even beer!

Minced Pork with Eggplant with Spicy 69

The eggplant was the best!

Steamed Fish Belly and Bean Curd in Prawn Sauce 78

So I ordered fish and this was served. I just thought that fish came with pork belly, but no, it was all pork belly. It was not bad choice either, but still asked the owner. He doesn't speak English much, and spend a lot of time with dictionary. We had it anyway. It was good but a little salty.

Good night, Hong Kong.

We just came back from Macua and were hungry, so began to hunt restaurants. At a crossroad everyone was watching sky, and there was the full moon on the top of a tower.

It was late, so we came to Yuen Hing Restaurant again.

Ordered like regulars.

Sauted Fish Belly in Salt and Pepper 79

Fried Rice Vermicelli in Xiamen Style 42

I don't understand why she was not fully satisfied with this place, but every time (3 nights in a row) I was happy, probably because of the backstreet atmosphere.

Not full yet. Ordered another.

Fried Twice Cooked Pork with Cabbage 69

Tsing Tao 27
Blue Girl 35

They ran out of Tsing Tao, so didn't have choice but to order Blue Girl. It was good but I'm not sure it's worth the price.

After partying I felt like beer and food so bad that we redirected to our favorite night restaurant for the 3rd time during this trip. The owner lady didn't talk much and seemed scary at first but now finally treated us kindly as if we became regulars here.

Their menu is so big that there are still many left to try. However some of them were not available for the moment as the owner lady kindly informed us, so we had to change the menu. 

Yuen Hing House Specialty 79

Fried Sliced Pork with Baby Cabbage 79

Later a group of well-dressed people took a table next to us and I could tell they are dancers from their wet shirts and the handkerchief in the back pocket. And most probably Tango dancers considering the ladies' outfit.
