Dear Steemit friends:
Visiting Hong Kong is no doubt a foodie's dream, whether it's to taste the various desserts or the famous Dim Sum, you will never be disappointed. However, another must try is the sea food. Today, we're vising a seafood restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui and at the same time, taking in some of the best nightscape views in all of Hong Kong.
"Ding Hao" or Very Good Seafood Restaurant is one of Hong Kong's most reputable seafood restaurants. The restaurant itself faces the street and on the outside, has a very prominent and eye catching restaurant sign board which you will find hard to miss.
Because of the exorbitant prices of rent in Tsim Sha Tsui, most restaurants on this street are in the basement below ground level.
Upon entry, you will see a photo guest book. Upon close inspection, it appears that many celebrities and famous people have come to this restaurant and left their mark.
This food on this advertisement looks like it's popping out and waving at me. It's really surreal!

The menu has so many incredible looking delicacies which all look very tasty. It's quite hard to pick!

Of course, there's also an English / Chinese menu to help the tourists or people unfamiliar with Chinese.
Time to eat! Let's begin and see what's in store. First up, the soup of the day, Lotus roots with Pork on Bone.
The waitress kindly dredges up the soup base ingredients and leaves us with just the soup all ready to drink. Some diners like to drink the soup with the meat, others prefer to just drink the soup on it's own.
The colour of the soup is very deep and thick. Definitely a sign of a true authentic Cantonese soup.
The meat which we dredged up earlier is of course edible and infact it tastes really great!
Pinenuts and Eggwhite with bitter melon served cold. This dish is really hard to find anywhere else outside of Hong Kong. Only here will you find this authentic dish.
Next up, the King of Seafood, Cheese Baked Lobster with Egg Noodle. The lobster of course is very fresh and the smell is itself already very inviting. The meat of the lobster is pure and limpid, sparkling and translucent. It tastes really fantastic.

There is quite some skilled involved when eating lobsters. Usually there will be some pliers or pincers provided to help break the shell and get at the meat inside.
You might have also noticed there is a set of black chopsticks and another set of white ones. This is not by accident as the black pair is usually used for getting food from dishes on the table, whilst the white ones are for personal use.
This bowl is often mistaken for being another soup. It is in fact used for diners to wash their hands after eating the Lobster. It's a nice consideration from the restaurant.
After dinner, let's take a walk to the nearby Victoria Harbour to view the nightscape.
A lot of people seem to be walking around with Balloons, I assumed they must be coming from or going to a party, or even someone was planning to propose.
The night-view is always very beautiful with so many different lights from all the skyscrapers. However, during Christmas, the buildings have often put up Christmas themed videos on their screens, adding to the Christmas and festive atmosphere.
Of course, I needed to get a some pictures with the stunning night view.

I was very lucky to have caught this tour boat just as it was about to leave!
Luck seems to be on my side today as I also managed to catch the 3D Light-show performance at the Bell Tower Square. The show was very festive too, perfectly capturing the Christmas atmosphere.

I hope you enjoyed discovering the Seafood and Lobsters of Hong Kong as well as the very beautiful and moving nightscape of Victoria Harbour. Stay tuned for more of my stories from my travels to Hong Kong!
来到香港，除了尝试各式各样的点心，海鲜当然也不能错过，今天我们就一起走进尖沙咀的一家海鲜餐厅去尝尝香港夜景的最佳观景区。顶好海鲜酒家是香港老字号的海鲜酒家，餐厅处于临街的位置，招牌很醒目。因为尖沙咀的地租很贵，所以大部分餐厅都在地下1层。看看照片墙，发现这家餐厅有不少名人来过。广告上各式各样的菜好像在向我招手。菜单上太多美味佳肴，都看不过来。当然也有中英文对照的菜单，让外国的游客点餐更方便。上菜啦，赶快来尝一尝美味的菜肴吧！首先上来的是每日的例汤，粉藕包猪骨。服务生会耐心的帮你把包汤底料都捞出来，有些顾客喜欢吃汤里的肉，有些顾客只喝汤。汤的颜色非常生，可见是正宗的广式老火汤。松仁蛋清酿凉瓜，这是独有的菜，蛋清和苦瓜炒在一起，可能只有在香港才能吃到正宗的。接下来就是海鲜之王，芝士焗龙虾捞伊面，鲜红的龙虾肉散发诱人的香味，龙虾肉质晶莹剔透的，味道非常鲜嫩。吃完美味的海鲜，在一起走到附近的海边，看看维多利亚港美丽的夜景吧！圣诞的气氛为美丽的夜景增加了许多颜色，很多大楼上的屏幕有圣诞老人的视频。我也赶快过去和美丽的夜景合影。正好赶上这艘漂亮的观光船要离港。正好赶上了圣诞期间钟楼广场的3D光雕汇演，很有节日的气氛，下面请大家一起来欣赏吧！今天的旅程就到这里，希望你们喜欢美味的海鲜和动人的夜景，之后还有更多有趣的香港故事要和大家分享。
