Sai Kung 西貢

People coming to Sai Kung town beside heading to some of the out-shore islands, they also come here for some of the interesting cafes as well.

CUÍT is one of them, located just beside the famous Tin Hau Temple here. Although they opened not so long ago, CUÍT already gained their supporters along the way.

Famous for their sourdough breads which many people would buy back home. They also served in-house dine in menu.

I was here on Saturday afternoon even though already pass the peak lunch time at 3pm. I was turned down immediately as the place is full and there’s also reservations. But thankfully there’s still a table for me at 4:30pm, which I don’t mind waiting.

My long wait wasn’t regretting at all after trying their market fish karaage sando. The market fish sourced differently everyday and I got the shark meat this round.

I love it so much, the fried shark meat was so juicy and delicious. Stuffed together with herb cucumber salad and house-made tartare sauce.

Another famous dessert shop you can find in Sai Kung town, which you will find lots of people standing around the shop; with everyone holding a cup of frozen greek yogurt outside Law of Yogurt 小滿定律.

You can go with either cup or cone. For cup like mine, you can choose 3 toppings and 1 sauce.

The toppings I chosen include mango, banana and lemon cheese cake; with honey sauce.

Looking for some dessert after meal in Sai Kung? Then Hookee 賀記 would be the perfect choice.

Serving some very nice Hong Kong style dessert here, with their signature almond paste with egg white 生磨蛋白杏仁茶 available in both warm or cold.

Tasty, sweet and smooth.

Back to my food sharing from Sai Kung when I was here. I have my dinner from this place called the Ngau Cuisine 牛牛, basically selling everything related to beef.

Their satay beef with rice seems simple with just satay beef and rice on the plate. Yet the flavour is so delicious, with tender beef on satay sauce.

For my Hong Kong trip this time, I decided to venture out from the buzzing city area to this quiet neighbourhood. Sai Kung is not connected by any train station, which you need to take the minibus or public bus from nearest MRT station, which would usually take about 1 hour to reach here.

Yet it doesn’t stop many Hong Kong people to come here for sweet escape over the weekend.

There’s so many things to explore and enjoy here, so my first meal at this town is my breakfast with some porridge from this place called the 金山粥店.

One thing interesting about this shop is that they located at the older estate which can only reach by going around the narrow street in between houses. But with Google Maps, it should be able to navigate easily.

Love this small porridge shop vibe here selling different types of porridges. Their youtiao and rice roll are also popular among the locals.

I have tried Lamma Island and Lei Yue Mun and the feel of Sai Kung is different especially if you get seasick travelling by boat. 1Hr from kowloon TST. Wide variety of seafood, fresh of course. Prices are fairly touristy, so don't expect a cheap meal if you want quality.
