Tai O Part 1, Hong Kong


1: boat to see China White Dolphin - HK$20 for about 20-30 minutes
2.: Tai O Fishing Village - reminding of Alrich Bay Fishing Village in Shaukiwan

3: See how people live on the water
4: the bridge

5: uncles and ladies playing mah joh
6: a boat ready to go sighting Dolphin

7/8: the market

9: dried fish
10: dried fish maw

11: Shrimp paste
12: I think it may be one of the very few street stall having charcoal grilled "egg junior"

13: When I had my first bite, wow, this should be what we call "egg junior". There are so many "acclaimed egg junior" shops only working on the crispy outside and forgot it should be with some "cake like" inside. This is the one they should learn! Not just on the outside.
14: houses in Tai O
15: another view to the village
16: what a nice view to this dried salty fish. The paper is to prevent the fly from going inside the fish tummy and lay eggs.

17: this stereo is almost and should be put in museum. The old man was listening to some Cantonese drama
18: Fashion design is not just for those fashion designer. See how this guy made his "environmentally friendly" t-shirt. So he doesn't need to have a fan to cool himself. I kind of like this photo because it also captured the other man looking at this old man.

19: that simply reminded me of my aunt's kitchen in Yau Tong. She used wood in the stove. Stir fried veggie in "wood burning" is excellent!
20: Shek Pik Reservoir

Part 1? So there will be more? You made Tai O look very interesting. I went there once but a long time ago when they had the boat with a man holding the string to pull to the other shore before the bridge was built.

I like that "egg junior". Looks very "egg". That guy is funny with his t-shirt with holes at the back. Yes fashion design can be made by any person.

I can only click for the enlarged photo on the left, but not on the right side. Is it working as intended?

Thanks for pointing that out. No, it's not working as intended. I shall check it out some time later and see what went wrong.
