| | Wellington Street, Central Hong Kong |
 | | As a classic demonstration of how Hong Kong island is really a mountain in the sea, all the streets that intersect Wellington, an original street not built on reclaimed land, are on a slope. |
 | | Across the street from each other is the eternal enigma about wonton, as in Mak's, which boasts a recipe passed down the family from Ching dynasty, with a petite portion; and Jim-Jai-Kee which boasts a simple menu of 3 toppings, all of them humongous: wontons, fish balls, and beef slices. |
 | | Beyond that block at Cochrane Street, one will find very much pictures of local living in a part of a city where people have been carrying on business for a long, long time: dignified habits and gestures, no matter the ticket. |
