First thought came to my mind when I think of food while in Shenzhen, I must look for real chinese food and have a taste. Wow, it was not that easy. We found the 1st eatery shop nearest to our hotel is Cafe De Coral or Tar Ka Lok. I guess, it is a very famous local fast food chain in China. You can find these types of cafes in almost the shopping centres in Shenzhen. There are lots of variety in the menus ranging from asian to western foods which you can order at a very reasonable price. I must say, a bit of different taste compared to my country.
I was told I must try the beef noodle soup. Yes, I did taste it. It came in a very big bowl with stewed spicy tofu pok (dried beancurd) as a side dish. It was quite salty and not to my liking. I liked the tofu though.Where were everybody? They were waiting in turn for the dim sum which were served at the other end. Everybody got up on their feet, not to dance but to take their selection of dishes such as dim sum, steamed veg, steamed chicken, pan fried cakes, buns, noodles and many more. I just cannot believe it. Each person pay Renminbi 人民币 20 only for their morning breakfast. So cheap lah. Eat until you drop.
