The Sleeping Rhino @ klapsons, The Boutique Hotel

Introduced as a very popular lunch spot for the hungry cubicle rats around the Tanjong Pagar area, we were told that the Sleeping Rhino was named as such so that her abbreviations would be T.S.R,  their effort to portray the restaurant’s image as a casual dining venue.

I had planned to make a trip down to one of Kowloon’s well-known congee eateries during our short stay in Hong Kong, considering that my Dad has always been a fan of the staple dish.

Lin Heung Tea House @ Wellington Street

Rated as one of the best few dining venues on OpenRice Hong Kong, it was literally a maze for us to locate the all-so-popular restaurant along the long stretch of Wellington Street.
