And the buzz that this restaurant is soon going to become a part of history has only increased the customer footfall.  Once seated, don’t look around for waiters to order your food. Instead watch out for the servers who stroll around the place with trolleys full of dumplings and fresh buns. Grab a few and munch on them while having a chat with your table-mates. Life cannot be more fun!

Explore dried seafood  At the end of the Hollywood Road lies the famous dried seafood market which is known for its variety as well as freshness. Scattered across Ko Shing, Des Veoux Road and Wing Lok streets, this seafood market is home to several treasures from the sea. A walk into this market will surely give your taste buds an adventurous ride.  Here umpteen numbers of stalls showcase a wide variety of seafood but the highlight of this place is the ‘four treasures’ of seafood- fish maw, sea cucumber, Shark skin and abalone. If you are looking forward to explore these delicacies then ensure you have a heavy wallet as these foods are a bit expensive. The taste of these foods might be a little surprising and different from your traditional ideas of sea food, but these four treasures surely give value to your money.  If you don’t want to eat something unknown then go for regular seafood such as shrimps, pork sausages and dried scallops.
