萬宜水庫 High Island Reservoir

This is not your usual Hong Kong trip itinerary. Beside the buzzing city area, do you know that Hong Kong also has some beautiful islands around that worth exploring?

Well my trip to Sai Kung continue by taking a boat to this island called the High Island 糧船灣洲. It used to have some villages around here but now it only left with a few people still living here.

There’s this seafood restaurant on this island that quite popular for their seafood. Which many Hong Kongers would get a boat to come here for their meal.

High Island (Yau Ley) Seafood Restaurant 糧船灣有利海鮮漁村 has started their business here since 1999. As I was here alone, so I can only go with something that I can enjoy; which is their seafood fried rice. Fried with shrimp and other ingredients.

Freshly harvested, steamed and eaten on its own without any seasoning. Gooseneck barnacles, or percebes to the Spanish, (or Din Toes as our group referred to them) have a similar in texture to octopus or the neck of the soft-shell clam. It tastes like sweet juicy crab to me, like scallops to others. But we all agreed that they were seasoned intensely with all the flavours of the sea. | #barnacle #seafood #sea #saikung #discoverhk #Latergram

To sailors, barnacles are a scourge, a destructive nuisance that have to be scraped off the bottoms of their boats. But in eyes of an experience boatman and restauranteur, these strange looking creature are now admired as they are flavourful, mysterious and surprisingly, alluring. | #barnacle #seafood #discoverhk #saikung #fishingvillage
