Thanks all for your suggestions! (Also, sorry for the belated reply. My mom’s been going through health limbo again but fine now.)

hannah: Ooh… I want to eat some noods.

FN: Instant noods?! Hmmm…I’m not a fan of instant ramen-like noodles. I would eat it if I have nothing else to eat. Everything else you’ve mentioned on your list is cool though.

sharon: Hello from NYC! I’ve seen those boxes of Koi Kei’s cookies in NYC. Haven’t eaten them, I think? But I’m open to any sweet.

OMG, YES for the Portugese egg tart!! There’s only one place I know that makes it in NYC and it’s hit or miss to get a fresh-out-of-the-oven tart. It’s sad to get a cold one.

Becky: I remembered you’ve written that on Twitter. I don’t remember the name of my mom’s hometown! Curse my ABCness. (For those of you who don’t know that acronym, it means American Born Chinese.)

For a nice breakfast at a charcoal grill pushcart, take the subway to Central Station, exit D2 and then follow the map here:

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&lr=lang_en&hl=en&msa=0&ll=22.282544,114.156028&spn=0.002571,0.004807&z=18&msid=114083618749640987024.00046643e832fa14bb9a9

There is only one pushcart selling breakfast. Open every day except Sunday. Starts at 9:30am

We highly recommend the following:
– Milk coffee
– Instant noodles
– Toast (comes with peanut butter, condensed milk and jam

In that same area there are other pushcarts that serve dinner.

check out my website for some of the restaurants i’ve been to in hong kong. if there’s one recommendation i would make, it’s the bamboo noodle place in tai po cooked foods centre (the one anthony bourdain went to and documented in no reservations: hong kong)…it’s the real deal. i would also check out some of the tea time buffets at some of the nicer hotels here — some of the best food is to be had in these kinds of places. bon voyage and have a great trip.

It’s been a while since I was in Hong Kong, but I remember having this delicious black sesame bubble tea. I can’t remember the name, but it’s a tea house there that is synonymous with Starbucks… they’re everywhere! My only regret was that I really had to pee and they didn’t have a bathroom (how ironic!) and I didn’t finish it. Oh! Down the street there was a three-evel Epsrit store. I hope that helps some!
