Tsim Sha Tsui

Tsim Sha Tsui is on the Kowloon Side of Hong Kong. I'd say this is like Central/Causeway Bay but on Kowloon rather than Hong Kong Island.

You will find numerous fancy shops, restaurants, hotels, museums, etc. in Tsim Sha Tsui...

Most, if not all, name brand places are located in this general area.

There was a line outside Chanel waiting to get in the last time I was in the area. o.o

Chungking Mansions

"Chungking Mansions features guesthouses, curry restaurants, African bistros, clothing shops, sari stores, and foreign exchange offices. It often acts as a large gathering place for some of the ethnic minorities in Hong Kong, particularly South Asians (Indians, Nepalese, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans), Middle Eastern people, Nigerians, Europeans, Americans, and many other peoples of the world. Peter Shadbolt of CNN stated that the complex was the "unofficial African quarter of Hong Kong (Wikipedia)."

My favorite restaurant in HK (possibly in the world), The Delhi Club (Indian food), is found here (another post).

TST is where you watch the Symphony of Lights. Overrated.

Of course it's starts raining in the middle of the show.

Wait, no. It's POURING. 

Had to seek coverage.

There's a nice bar located in The One (a shopping center) called Cocky Bar (18/F, The ONE, 100 Nathan Rd., Tsim Sha Tsui). If you have time, give it a visit. If you sit outside, you'll get a spectacular view of Hong Kong Island.

You could make reservations for special days/holidays, but there is a minimum order of $300HKD(?) from Friday to Saturday/Sunday and holidays... I think.

The spectacular view (on a good day). This is obviously not my picture because I seem to always go to places when it's foggy or raining. -_________-

Actually, just kidding... I got a pretty good shot myself. I guess I got lucky this time. :D

The Delhi Club

The Delhi Club - Room 3, 3/F, Block C, Chungking Mansion, 38-44 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui

This is my favorite Indian BBQ place. ^___^ It's actually one of the most popular Indian restaurants in HK. It gets REALLY packed at night (Friday-Sunday). It's not open all day, so call and check whether it's open or not before you go.

You're going to walk into Chungking Mansion (everything is pretty sketchy looking in there) and look for Block C, then take an elevator to the third floor. Upon arrival, you will only see a simple door (image below).

Mango Lassi

Chicken Tandoori

YUM.

Curry (can't remember which one)

Curry (can't remember which one)

I remember the customer service being pretty good. All the workers are Indian, I think. Some of them speak Cantonese... Most of them speak English. So, don't worry, you will be able to communicate.

Once upon a time, I went two weeks in a row, and I think the owner recognized me, LOL. Pretty friendly guy.

ANYWAY, let's talk about the food.

You have to get the mango lassi. It's a mango flavor yogurt drink. SO GOOD. If you walk in on a busy day, I bet you 90% of the tables will have a glass of mango lassi. It's that good. MUST ORDER.

The chicken tandoori is a must order. It's like grilled chicken or something. It's so tasty. SO SO SO tasty.

I don't remember which curries are pictured, but I always order the chicken tikka masala and mutton (lamb) vindaloo.

The mutton (lamb) vindaloo is SUPER spicy, but it's SO good. I keep ordering this even though I can't handle the spicy, lol! The lamb is really tasty...

The chicken tikka masala is medium spicy, I think... LOL, I could actually taste this more because it wasn't as spicy as the vindaloo... ^_^;; So, if you can't handle super spicy, give this a try. 

They're both equally good. Try them both if you can. :D

The pita bread looking things there are called naan. A naan is basically Indian flat bread. It comes in a variety of flavors (original, garlic, cheese, etc.). They all kind of tasted the same to me. You rip pieces of it and dip it into the curries that you order.

I could've just included this restaurant in the Tsim Sha Tsui post, but no. It holds a special place in my heart, so I had to dedicate this post to The Delhi Club. Seriously, everything is so good... T_T
