A
recommendation from Glen who searched for Hong Kong's best eats whilst on his
own food eating trail. To him, this place serves the best Pineapple Bun and
coffee.
Hong Lin restaurant is primarily a breakfast/light eats joint located nearest to Mongkok Station. It's a great pit stop anytime of the day before one carries on a day of shopping, or exploration at gold fish alley.

Pineapple
Bun with coffee and tea
A piece
of heaven! A beautiful, crispy-sweet exterior with a lightly buttered center.
Where the pineapple flavors come from, I've got no idea, but it's so, so good.
A respectable sized bun to the start of any day. The coffee is very thick and
strong, and would fulfill anyone's caffeine needs. Like much of Hong Kong's
Milk Teas, the milk tea here is defiantly to a good, Hong Kong Standard.
Overall,
a good place for a pit stop or to start of the day.

BBQ Pork Bun
BBQ Pork Bun
*Their
version of BBQ Pork bun. Flavors are there, just that it's a little more dense
and heavier take other BBQ pork bun variants. It still looses out to the iconic
BBQ Pork buns by Michelin-Stared Restaurant Tim Ho Wan located, just a station
down at Sham Sui Po. Same-same yet different.*
Har Gao, Xiu Mai, Lotus Rice, Chicken Feet
*To Hong
Kong standard and nothing really to scream about.* 
Suckling Pig HKD180
*This is
what everyone is aiming for! Sales for suckling big starts only from noon
onwards and sells out fast. Many locals come here just for a serving of
suckling pig. The MUST ORDER. There's no gaminess to the tender meat and its
skin is extra crispy. The accompanying sauce for the suckling pig was well
balanced and not overly salty.*
Kai Lan x2 order. Total HKD90

*I don't
know how they cook their vegetables so beautifully. A sweet serving of
vegetables cooked with ginger that have the wok-fry flavor. Incredibly
refreshing, fragrant and so good that we ordered another plate. The ginger is
not at all overwhelming*
Fried
Cuttle Fish
*Today's
batch was tougher than usual.*

The stars
here are definitely the suckling pig and vegetable (Kai Lan) order. All you
need is a hot bowl of rice are you're set for a meal, best to be shared by 2-3
people. Will return for that combination for sure!

Lucky Desert

(550m from Parklane Hotel)
A lucky
find (pun intended) as I was, based off memory, originally looking for Yee Shun Milk Company dessert joint.
Don't waste time. It just doesn't work. Jelly noodles which are more textural than anything else with the durian paste.

Ordered On:
*I was
expecting the non-fragrant Thai Durians, but was gladly mistaken. Pungent,
delicious, glorious serving of during paste! Definitely for durian lovers, with
at least half the bowl filled with the delicious paste. Although its slightly
more expensive than you would get for a similar bowl in Singapore, but you get
larger serving of the paste, well worth the order*
House soup desert with Mango, Grapefruit and Soup HKD38
*Top
marks. A very generous supply of sweet
mango chunks, with a pleasant balance of grapefruit accents. Not overly sweet
and very refreshing, The place might give, other popular mango dessert joint,
Hui Lau Shan a run for its money.

*Not so
exciting. A little too watered down to taste, and too much salasi seeds that
makes it texturally seemingly slimy*
Tai Cheong Bakery
Recommended
by Bryan, this is a known and popular egg tart chain. We tried the unique,
softer, crispier interior type of tarts at HKD5.50 per piece.

Consensus
from most of the group was that although it is oily, but its extremely flaky
and has a hint of yam flavor to its base crust. Almost similar to MacDonald's
Singapore seasonal Yam pies.
Under Bridge Spicy Crab
(750m form Parklane Hotel)
(750m form Parklane Hotel)
As the
name very aptly puts it, this place is located under the bridge. Famous for its
succulent sweet crab, cooked with it's blend of special spices and incredibly
delicious garlic bits. Incredible flavor and having been featured by and served
to a number of celebrities as well.

Lvl3 Spice Crab HKD680
*This
time we went with chili leveled spice. Very palatable and not all that spicy
that it blows away the taste of the meat. No need for ice water to douse the
heat. Perhaps one could go up another 2-3 more levels to have some real heat.
Ordered
the cheaper of the medium category crabs.
Clam Soup HKD75
*A basic
fish soup stock with succulent clams and vermicelli noodles. Really nice and
goes well with the entire meal.*
Sautéed Green Beans
with pickled olive and vegetables HKD50
Pan fried egg plants with Minced Shrimp HKD68
*Sweet
dish, and strangely on first bite taste very much like Goreng Pisang (Malay
dish of deep fried Banana)
Oil Soaked Edible Frogs HKD80
*A hit.
Not as oily as expected. More of a wok fry to the succulent front meat and was
served with delicious mushrooms. A reorder for sure*

In all
honesty, the rest of the dishes aren't that expensive. It's the crab that's the
heaviest cost. Though good, our medium order was small and expensive for that
price, but one can only get this great tasting, uniquely cooked crab here.
Still desperately looking for a cheaper alternative elsewhere.

Yeap it
doesn't come cheap. Perhaps the meal above could have just about fed 3 where an
additional side order would be just about right. Their smallest crab is
actually really quite large by Singapore standards. Probably a medium to large
sized one. I'll definitely return for the amazing crab and up the spice level.
With that said, this place is really more for a good eat, celebratory meal for
special occasions. Will try hunting for local cheaper alternative the next time
around.
P.S
(Kudos to customer service)
Staff
were really nice to give a free umbrella so that we could be on our way as it
started to rain after dinner.

Cong Sao Star Dessert
Located
near to Times Square. There's always a queue at Cong Sao Star Dessert. The
moment you finish your last scoop, they'll swoop in to clear your empty bowls.
A very fast and high turnover place which is always popular with the locals.

*Its been a while since the last visit. Still a very popular dessert joint in Hong Kong. Not all were hits but their signature mango with egg white base was the clear winner ordered. This local dessert chain is cheaper in comparison to Hui Lau Shan prices on similar typed desserts.*

Iced Longan with Coconut HKD30
Fern's
all time favorite. Refreshing Longan flavors with Nara De CoCo on top. Its not
really my thing and it sound silly to say that it needs to be wetter
considering it's ice. Personally I prefer a saucier/soupier sort of dessert.
Refreshing none the less and the queue that follows doesn't lie about its
popularity.
Mango Juice with Grapefruit/Lychee Jelly HKD27
*Again, not really wet enough for my tastes but
there's so much ingredients that's well worth it.*

but I've yet to try them personally.

A recommendation from both Sharlene (who ate there the day before) and Rebecca (a local Hong Konger), this pork curry joint is a huge hit amongst busy Hong Kongers. Packed on arrival at 1300hrs, there were loads of customers taking single to group orders to go! So did I due to the lack of seating.

Picture
isn't that nice but the taste is there!
*Almost
every table was ordering it! A succulent piece of pork chop, fried beautifully
with the right amount of fat in it. The curry here isn't overly spicy and helps
provide some gravy for the rice.*

If this
style of pork cutlet is your craving then Delicious Kitchen located around theback of Park Lane is the place for you to try their Pork Cutlet and vegetablerice rice dish. Some have travelled cross island just to have their pork cutlet fix
there.
Wing Kee Noodles

(160m from Park Lane Hotel)
The menu
is very easy to order from. Beef stock, with choice of noodles, and a selection
of 2/3/4 items from the list at HKD30/35/40 respectively. English with Malay
texted menu are available for easy order selections.
Not sure
what to choose from? Here are the few must order ingredient selections. The
beef tendons, tripe, or anything beef which what they are known for. The
radish, mushroom and octopus are really good as well. The wing tip are
definitely worth an additional individual order but maybe an over dose for a
single diner.
Ordered On:05March2016
*Pork Neck, Chicken Wing Tips, Squid and Radish with additional order of Wing Tips. Actually I had wanted beef tendon but the lady mixed up the order with wing tips in mine. Went for 4item order with additional side order of wing tips which is so worth it.*

Through
chatting with others who went there previously, the must orders are the wing
tips and radish. The beef tendons, tripe and ball goes without saying, are the
must orders and they do have a 5 beef combination plate that's well worth the
order as well.
Will
return for a meal for one or in a small group. One of the best beef noodles I've
had thus far and perfect before hitting the road again.
