Special dishes:
We had fried and steam dumplings, cabbage wrap, smoked duck breast, cold tofu and Shanghai noodel with sesame saurce.

Review: This is a small restaurant with only 2-3 tables, therefore the service is very personal. You can call and arrange special dishes (call before 4pm). The food and drinks are very nice and home-made style. There are lots of magazines and little board games. The place is a bit hard to find, it is adviceable to jot down the phone number and call if in doubt. Highly recommended for small group of 6 people or less

Trip report
: Sai Kung is one of the most beautiful country side of Hong Kong, relatively undisturbed. You are excused for almost forgetting the fact that you are in Hong Kong. Tai Long Wan is certainly one of the best part in Sai Kung. We had a great hike and stopped by the store at Ham Tin Wan to have lunch, enjoying delicious noodles while appreciating the scenary.

Time: ~4 hr hiking time (whole day trip)

Description: Sai Kung Tai Long Wan area is one of the few areas in Hong Kong that is relatively undisturbed, thus it is one of the most beautiful areas in Hong Kong. But we have heard that the government has started some construction project there :-( On this trip, from Choi Hung, we will take the bus or mini-bus to Sai Kung and then take the taxi or village bus 29R to Sai Wan Ting. From Sai Wan Ting, we will walk through Sai Wan -> Ham Tin Wan -> Tai Long Kau -> Chek King -> Pak Tam Kau. From Pak Tam Kau, we will take 96R back to Diamond Hill MTR, or 94 -> Sai Kung.
