Backpacker's Tips :  Angus, HK (Nov 02)
« There is a good place in Kowloon for 'hot pot', very cheap but delicious food, traditional Cantonese food. It is on Cheung Sha wan MTR station, in Kowloon, 6 station from Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station / 15mins travel, it is only HK$50 for a person, but is in Buffet!!! Its located in Li Check Uk estate, Po On Road. The only one Chinese restaurant, on the platform of the estate »  If you require some help or advise about HK, you can contact Angus directly at ecoangusho@ctimail.com
