Porridge and dim sum seems to be a must for breakfast when you are in Hong Kong. On the morning of Day 5 when wifey and Shux were catching up on their beauty sleep in the hotel, Huifan and I got up and made our way to Kowloon for yet another breakfast expedition. This time, its Hong Fa at Shan Shui Po.
This shop primarily sells Fa Gao, Bai Tang Gao, Pui Zhai Gou and many other local delights. Like Mindo Cafe, it is a place where you can experience the life as a local. It is a place where their regular customers gather, usually senior citizens.
For breakfast, they have different types of porridge, but limited variety as compared to the one we had in Central, yet, it was equally tasty too. The difference here is that they don’t provide hot water or tea for you to clean the utensils so I guess, its all about trust – trust that they will clean them properly. (Afternote: Nothing happen to my tummy after finishing the bowl of tasty century egg porridge).
The location where this shop is located is really different from the ones we have visited earlier. Its in the suburbs and the demographics of people living in the area is different and you can experience the life as a local, the market place and the road side stalls. If you have extra time in Hong Kong, do take some opportunity to visit this place.

Porridge is my fav too although I seldom make at home for my hubby does not really fancy, so I have it at well known stalls. surely looks delicious the one you have shared.
Hi Nava, so far those that I’ve tried in Hong Kong and shared did not fail me. They were really good. Thanks for visiting my blog.
We want to go to Hong Kong in the winter, I really enjoy reading about it, I am trying to learn more about Hong Kong and about the culture and lifestyle.
Hi there,
Could you share the exact location of this shop or directions to get there? As well as the Wei Ji porridge stall in Central?
Thanks much!
