Explore Hong Kong with me #6- 帶大家去科學館和吃香港街頭小吃🌞 The Science Museum and local street food in Hong Kong

Hello Steemit friends,

Hope you are doing good today!🌞 Last time I shared a restaurant, THE BASE to you and I am glad many of you love that post. This weekend, my niece visited us for a few days. Therefore, my sister and I planed to take her to visit the Science Museum in Tsim Sha Tsui. Other than Ocean Park and Disneyland, this is probably my favourite place to spend my holiday when I were still young :P 70% of the exhibits allow the visitors to touch and learn through direct involvement. It's a perfect place for both children and adults to learn some knowledge about science. If you not interested in visiting the science museum, you can skip part 1 and go directly to part 2 of this post. I will introduce some local street food in the second part 😉

Steemit的朋友大家好🌞 ，大家週末過得好嗎？這週末我的小侄女來探望我們，剛好週六哥嫂有點事，於是讓我跟我妹妹來照顧四歲的小侄女一天。我跟我妹妹商量了一下，決定帶她去尖沙咀的科學館。除了海洋公園和迪士尼，科學館是我小時候很喜歡的地方，是一個充滿樂趣和知識的地方，很適合喜歡科學的大小朋友。展覽館七成的展品可以讓參觀者操作，可以体驗科學對我們生活的影響。大家如果對科學館沒什麼興趣，可以直接看第二部分，我會介紹兩家我在尖沙咀最愛的街頭小食店舖。

Let's begin our journey~ 😉 開始我們的旅程～ 😉

It takes 10 minutes walk from Jordan Station Exit D. Or you can take Exit B2 at Tsim Sha Tsui.

從佐敦站D出口步行10分鐘，或者您可以在尖沙咀B2出口。

After arriving, we saw a long queue outside the museum and we found out that was actually for an exhibition about Ancient Egypt. Lucky us, we asked the exhibition workers before we start lining up. If you just go for the normal exhibition, there's actually another queue inside the museum.

抵達後，我們看到博物館門外有很多人排隊，問過工作人員後發現他們是排一個專題展覽，「永生傳說—透視古埃及文明」。如果只參觀常設展廳，博物館內有另一邊可以排隊，不用10分鐘就可以買到門票。所以去的朋友先問問工作人員再排隊喔。😉

Standard ticket, HKD$20 per adult. Free admission on Wednesday~

標準票，成人HK $ 20, 星期三免費入場

Eternal Life: Exploring Ancient Egypt features 200 cultural relics from the British Museum. It looks quite interesting~

專題展覽，永生傳說—透視古埃及文明，展覽展出6具在1800至3000年前在埃及生活和死亡的木乃伊，講述當時埃及的人如何保存屍體，還有展出多達200件由大英博物館借來的文物。

博物館內有一個很大的螢幕，播放有關永生傳說的相關影片，吸引不少朋友駐足觀看。

Selfie time with my little niece and my sister, @ceciliachanyf. She is new to platform and she is studying in U.K. If you like to see some U.K travel blogs and recipes sharing, please follow her ❤️

進去前，我們先來張合照，耶～ 右邊那個是我的妹妹 @ceciliachanyf，經我的推薦開了Steemit的賬戶，她現在在英國讀書，大家如果有興趣看英國的餐廳和旅遊景點分享，可以加她的賬戶，另外她也很愛烹飪，大家請多多支持她~ ❤️

Directory of the Museum

博物館的平面圖

Electricity and magnetism is the first section we went after entering. There are many interactive exhibits for visitors to learn how to generate electricity and revealing informative facts about electricity and magnetism.

進去後，我們先到磁電廊，那裡有很多互動展品，讓訪客體驗如何產生電，如何導電，展示一些電與磁的性質和基本原理。

This is the exhibit explaining how things are electrolysed when current flows.

這個展品主要解釋電流通過時會造成電解。

My little niece is looking for the light bulb with a broken filament.

小侄女正在看那個燈泡的燈絲斷了。

And checking out which material can conduct electricity and building up the circuit with conducting material.

她正在試那種物質可以導電，並利用可導電的物料連接成電路。

A exhibit explains a short circuit.

這個展品主要講解短路的危險。

Many parents brought their children here. It's super crowded~~

好多家長都帶他們的孩子到科學館，每個展品都圍滿了小朋友和家長。

Then we went to section with many interesting mathematical problems.

磁電廊旁邊擺放了一些益智遊戲，不少人都很專注地拆解這些問題，不少是跟數學有關的題目。

Obviously, the niece is not solving these difficult problems. lol she is just playing with them.

我的小侄女很明顯不是在解答這些問題，她來數有多少條小柱。

After that, we went to the second floor. The first thing we see it's the VC-3 airplane, which is the first Hong Kong airline, hanging from the ceiling and a Zheng He's Treasure ship in the middle of a pool. It's a section about transportation, there is another section regards of home technical and food science. But my niece seems have no interest in these. So we decided to move on and go to the third floor, the children's gallery.

之後，我們搭扶手電梯到了二樓，先入眼簾的是吊在天花板的「DC-3型客機」，它是香港第一部客機。然後就看到停泊在池中的「鄭和寶船」，這些都納入為交通展覽。這一層還有家居科技和電訊廊等展廳，不過我的侄女對這一層的展覽廳沒什麼興趣，所以我們決定前往三樓的兒童天地。

This section is specially designed for children with games learn about the processes of building a house. Some of the game need to cooperate with others in order to finish the task that's acquire social skills.I couldn't take many photos in this section as she ran around and I had to chase around her....I feel exhausted after chasing her for an hour and we decided to leave.

兒童天地有很多組不同的展品，其中的小小工程師，可以讓小朋友了解建屋的過程，不少還需要和其他小朋友合作才可以完成，鼓勵小朋友互相合作和提升他們的社交技巧。在這一層我基本拍不到照片，我一直追逐我的小侄女，這樣持續差不多一個小時，我跟妹妹都很疲憊，決定去食點小食再回家。

Local Street Food in Hong Kong 😋😋 香港街頭小食😋

After the visit, we all feel hungry and decide to have some local street food. This is my favourite place to get fish balls and fish meat Shao Mai in Tsim Sha Tsui and it located opposite of the Science Museum.

參觀後，我們都飢腸轆轆，決定去附近食點小食再回家。我們到了博物館附近的賀記，這家位置巷子的小店是我到尖沙咀必食的小店，它的炸魚蛋燒賣配上特制的辣辣油和咖哩汁，真的很好吃~

We are waiting for our food~~

Other than delicious fish balls and Shao Mai, they have daily cooked soup for sale. This is snow pear and snow ear fungus soup.

除了小食外，他們每天都有自制的的湯水，今天有我最愛的雪梨雪耳湯

Fries and fried chicken wings~

點了一份雞翼薯條給我的小侄女。

Chilli fried fish balls and curry fried shao mai.

炸魚蛋和咖哩燒賣，香脆的燒賣配上特製咖哩汁。

Chilli fried fish ball. Their chilli sauce tastes very different from others with many dried shrimps and dried fish.

我很喜歡他們的辣椒油，由很多不同材料製成，有魚乾，蝦乾和菜圃等等。

Other than fish ball and shao mai, Hong Kong style egg puff is another popular local street food in Hong Kong. Mammy Pancake is recommended in michelin guide in both 2016 and 2017. you can spotted this place by the big queue of people lined up waiting for their orders.

除了魚蛋燒賣，雞蛋仔也是一款家喻戶曉的街頭小食，媽咪雞蛋仔應該算是比較出名的，連續2016和2017都成功入選為米芝蓮小食

Different flavours are provided for customers to choose. I ordered a sesame egg puff today~It's crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside.

很多不同口味可以選擇，今天我點了一個白芝麻，外面金黃酥脆，咬下去軟綿綿。
