Sing Heung Yuen, Central

The Mid-levels Travelator in Central takes you from the bottom to the top in about 20min!

It took us a while to find this street as both me and my cousin are not very familiar with the Central area. After taking a short ride on the mid-levels travelator (which is 800m long and the world's longest covered escalator) and asking a few passer-bys the way (luckily we didn't get lost), we finally managed to find Sing Heung Yuen dai pai dong in Mee Lun Street!

Sing Heung Yuen is a dai pai dong (a street side food stall), famous for their noodles in tomato soup. When we arrived there at 3pm, it was still very crowded and lots of people were waiting for seats.

I tried noodles with beef in tomato soup and my cousin had the same but with macaroni. The soup was very yummy! Very fresh and full of tomato aroma as they use fresh Italian tomato to make the soup base.

Another signature dish is the piglet bun with lemon honey. Crispy and tasty!

After our nice lunch, we took a stroll down this street (forgot the name, was it Gage St. or Graham St.?) where merchants sell Chinese paper lanterns & incense.
