The old reservoir that reminds you of Greek ruins. 📍Destination: Former Sham Shui Po Service Reservoir / Ex-Sham Shui Po Service Reservoir 📍Nearest Station: MTR Shek Kip Mei Station, Exit A 📍How to get there: Exit from Exit A, proceed from Wo Zai Street to Shek Kip Mei Street, turn left onto the sloping Pak Yuk Street and go forward.

Free admission. 📍Opening Hours: 9:00-12:00, 14:00-17:00 💡Wear comfortable clothes and shoes as you will be climbing stairs and slopes. 💡Hong Kong is humid and hot, so it might be good to bring water and a towel. 💞Highlight ①: The old reservoir with beautiful brick arches was built in 1904 and is now designated as a Grade 1 historic building. Enjoy a moment isolated from the city's hustle and bustle. 💞Highlight ②: Shek Kip Mei is a local area with many public housing estates. After the visit, enjoy dim sum 🥢 at a local restaurant or take a break with tea ☕ at a cha chaan teng (Hong Kong-style café). Hong Kong 🇭🇰 has this side as well, not just lively Asian streets and Chinese cuisine. There are still many more attractions to discover✨ Let's fully enjoy Hong Kong despite the weak yen. #HongKongGuide #HongKong #HongKongTourism #HongKongAttractions #VisitAsia #TravelAbroad

I rarely forage in Shek Kip Mei. Today I saw many secondary school students and parents with primary school students visiting this shop. I guess this is a popular neighborhood shop. Ordered a $49 three-dish one-noodle set with free canned soda. I ordered beef belly, winter mushrooms, and spicy hand-shredded chicken noodles. There are 4 pieces of beef belly, cooked very soft and seasoned, delicious. There are also 4 pieces of winter mushrooms, which taste also very good, looks like it is harder, but one bite, soft, very good. A small plate of hand-torn chicken, the sauce is tasty and delicious. As for the coarse noodles, it's really the kind of coarse noodles used in cart noodles, which is different from the coarse noodles in wonton noodle shops. Although this kind of coarse noodles is not so smooth, when eating, the feeling of visiting the street cart noodle stalls came back. That's the feeling I like. For the soup, I chose satay soup, slightly spicy, not very fragrant, but the taste is good. The portion of this bowl of noodles is more suitable for girls, if it is a boy, you may not feel very full. It is also worth mentioning the decoration of this shop. One side of the wall is covered with movie posters from Hong Kong in the past, which is very nostalgic. On the other side of the wall, there are also many photos of Hong Kong in the past, which are also full of nostalgia. Looking up, there are many characteristic hanging signs hanging from the ceiling, which are very special. I believe the owner put a lot of thought into the nostalgic theme when designing the decoration. The service was also very good, when ordering, the clerk reminded me that if ordering a set, the full price of ingredients can also be ordered. Also, the hand-shredded chicken is served in a small plate, if placed in a large bowl, the sauce is diluted by the soup, the flavor will be lost, which shows the shopkeeper's attentiveness.
