The Early Bird Catches the worms!?

Sweet Sweet Boyfriend wake me up early on Monday and say something "The early bird catches the worm". I no wake up early on public holiday and no very happy.  I scream "I no bird you stupid.  I know what bird mean. I no stupid bird and I no eat worm!"   Dead silence on phone and he say "No, I just want to go test drive couple cars with you and go for dim sum to celebrate your passing the driving test."

Oh!  Grand Hong Kong girl no say sorry.  So I no say anything.  He should speak first. 

Finally, he say he buy me a car (Huh!  You don't and I dumb you! Or dump you?  Whatever) and take me try out Golf GTI and BMW 335. I say why no Fiat 500??  He say "Abarth?"  I say "What Abarth?  No fashion brand.  Fiat 500 has Gucci car. I want them make a Louboutin for me.  Red on bottom and rhinestones on the side and around plate"  What is wrong with men?  They like ugly cars that make loud noise.  I think driving Mini or Beetle with lots of cute cute toys like Hello Kitty around is nice.   

He rolled eyes and go straight to a BMW 335i.  This no M3 and no Z3.  Just a normal 3-series!?  We go all the way to Kowloon and Sweet Sweet Boyfriend no stopping when we on highway to airport.  I thought, we go holiday but not enough time.  He then took exit and went to Tsuen Wan. Oh no, we go so local place no grand. He put top of car down and my hair very messy.  Going Tsuen Wan, there no Kim Robinson. Who fix my hair then?  I was so angry die me.  The car went further to Tai Mo Shan and I say "Oh my god!  Tai Mo Shan has cows.  What if I step on their... err....  Who clean my Jason Wu suede boot!?!?"  I wish shoe company makes raincoat for shoes like Hermes for handbags

We finally got to this place call "Chuen Lone Village" (川龍村)  No no, not having a hole but river dragon.  The restaurant dirty and much people walking around.  They no have stool, waiters, or order paper.  You go grab tray, wait in line to get dim sum.  Lots of people no grand and no driving up there. They hiking and very sweaty and smelly.  I so mad at Sweet Sweet Boyfriend. How dare he take me no grand local place.  I throw my Mulberry Mini Lily at him and walk first.  He said "Ok, let's go to Fiat afterwards.  You are a Sunday driver anyway."  Ok, he knows I only drive Sunday to go shopping.  If no one take me to work during week, I will be no grand.  I will eat with him first.

Uhm Chun Dan Siu Mai (Siu Mai with Quail Egg).  Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say this traditional dim sum.  People no put caviar on siu mai in the past.  Some people say cholesterol very bad.  Some say we need cholesterol. I no know which one is right.  I think egg so small and no too much cholesterol should be ok.  Isn't the bigger the egg, the more cholesterol?  Texture no bad.  No sauce but taste fine



See Jiu Jing Pai Gud (Steamed spare ribs with black bean and chili pepper).  I say pork again?  Fat die me.  This one not fat like HK island restaurant spare rib.  No funny taste pork


Ngau Pak Yip (Beef stomach) - I no peasant girl and can no eat ngau pak yip.  I don't know why all these foodie people like organs.  Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say this one is not bad, quite crunchy.  Crunchy?  It no meat?  Shouldn't all meat has same texture!?


Fung Jao (chicken feet) - I say no disgusting food and I no suck toes. Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say that's collagen.  Much better than using La Prairie.  I say but me put feet in mouth and take bones out is very peasant.  No grand American eat meat with bones.  This old woman next to our table turn around and say "You can get Bak Won Fung Jao (white cloud chicken feet).  They have old women taking the bone out before cooking." Ah!  I want that but that old woman and her friends just laugh and point at that mouth.  What they try to say?  Anyway, taste ok and lots of collagen. I feel like my face glow

Haam Shui Gok (Deepfried dumplings with minced pork and chives fillings).  This one very sweet dumpling and inside not too greasy.  But when I bite it open, this one no nice like one at Fook Lam Moon.  Just fillings all inside instead of a nice ball. What did Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say? Kun Nell? Sound so Thai



Fun Gwo - (Steamed dumpling with minced pork, water chestnut and peanut).  Skin quite thick and no 11 folds.  Didn't some foodie people say dumplings must have 11 or 13 folds?  And skin always problem in HK?  This one skin thick and soft.  Inside taste ok


Jeen Loh Bahk Go (Pan fried radish cake).  I like it very much because no laap cheung (Chinese sausage), laap yuk (Chinese pork belly).  No fat die me.  Almost like ones at vegetable restaurants where they have tofu sheet dish and they call them mock goose, mock chicken, mock char siu...  Sweet Sweet Boyfriend no like it. Say not fried well enough and too doughy


Nai Wong Go (steamed sponge cake with custard).  This one very nice.  No fatty at all.  quite soft and no watermark on cake

Ja Won Ton (deep fried wonton with sweet and sour sauce).  Lots of skin, very crispy like potato chips.  How come they no grand and give you little meat?  Shouldn't wonton be BIG like baby fist? Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say fried wonton is to eat skin.  I no understand them foodie people.


Jeen Yeung Kair Jee (Pan fried eggplant with fish cake).  This is street food and usually I no eat at street shops but I eat at restaurant because grander. This one is ok.  No soggy eggplant.  Fish cake can be stronger and more taste

Chau Meen (fried noodle).  Can be drier but very interesting taste with celery.  Not bad

Dou Fu Fa (Sweet Bean Curd) - Smooth and no funny kerosene taste like most other places.  I no eat sugar usually because that no good to stay size 2 but this one good. Sugar yellow and so no refined sugar, right?
Bill very cheap, less than $200.  Crazy drive up there and people no back up to let our car go first.  They no have stool and you need pick up bowls, chopsticks, mix your tea, get your food.  No service and not for grand girl like me.  Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say he like try the vegetable (grown there) and roast pork there next time.  I say no Sunday because I am Sunday driver and I won't drive there!
