Tung Po, North Point, Hong Kong

Steamed lotus leaf rice

"Is this where the locals eat?" asked our Japanese friend, Maki, who was in Hong Kong for a short holiday.

It sure is. Tung Po Restaurant is located on top of a rather wet wet market in North Point where the locals come to gather for good seafood around fraying wooden round tables. The woks are hot, wok hei even better and we just love having the beer out of the bowls old school style.

Must try: blue swimmer crab (fa hai) steamed with egg or Chinese wine & garlic, lotus wrapped rice

It's a no frills kinda decor

Fabulous flower crabs

Don't go to the wrong shop ... though its kinda hard to miss

Fresh seafood on display
