LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
LEI YUE MUN VILLAGE

Popular seafood venue Lei Yue Mun has around two dozen restaurants lining a winding
road that overlooks a typhoon shelter. Once you've settled down in a restaurant, go
outside and pick your dinner from one of the stalls with live seafood tanks, making
sure you know how much you're paying and for what, before committing. The restaur-
ant will take care of the rest. Expect to pay upwards of HK$800 per person for a meal.
After leaving Yau Tong MTR station (exit A2), follow Cha Kwo Ling Rd and Shung
Shun St south for 15 minutes or catch green minibus 24M from outside the station.

DESSERT

KUNG WO TOFU FACTORY
( GOOGLE MAP ; 2386 6871;118 Pei Ho St, Sham Shui Po;meals HK$8-30; 9am-9pm; Sham
Shui Po, exit B2)
A charming 50-year-old shop of a brand established in 1893, Kung Wo wears its name
proudly in red clerical script. Regulars come for fresh soymilk, pan-fried tofu, and sweet
tofu pudding, made the traditional way from beans ground using a hand-operated millstone.
The silky tofu has nutty notes, and the hue is off-white - reassuringly imperfect, just like the
service.
