tions a must.
If you want to be out on the water for a longer period or have greater flexibility as to
where you go, you can hire your own boat. Kaidoowners can usually be found trawling
for fares. Explain where you want to go, how long you want to spend there and which
way you wish to return. The usual price for this kind of trip is about HK$300 on week-
days, more on the weekend.

to 9pm Sat & Sun; 1)
This much-loved bakery is a hiker's best friend, with simple sandwiches on European-style
homemade bread, pies and preserves. Breakfast and set lunches are also offered here and
best enjoyed at its outdoor tables.
DESSERTS
HONEYMOON DESSERT

This shop specialising in Chinese desserts such as sweet walnut soup and durian pudding is
so successful that it has branches all over China and in Indonesia, not to mention some 20
locations in Hong Kong.
CANTONESE, SEAFOOD
LOAF ON
The motto here is: eat what they hunt. This three-storey Michelin-star restaurant is where
fish freshly caught from the Sai Kung waters in the morning lands on customers' plates by
midday. The signature fish soup and steamed fish sell out fast. There is no English signage,
but it's identifiable by a lone dining table set outside and the shiny brass sign. Reservations
recommended.
