We will stop at three family-run tasting food stalls featuring Hong Kong’s classic food which may include samples of roast pork belly or Barbecue pork, the marvelous egg puffs and egg tarts from the local bakery.

On our way, we will pay a visit to the “Blue House” which was the original site for the first hospital in 1870’s but was acquired by the government in 1970’s, and the outer walls painted blue and was thus named the “Blue House”. During 1960’s – 1970’s, Kung Fu Master – Wong Fei Hung’s student Lam Sai Wing and his nephew launched their Kung Fu Studio there. The Building also houses the “Hong Kong House of Stories” and open to visitors.
