Jade and Noodles




We also visited the Jade Market and did some shopping. We then stopped at a local noodle shop for wonton soup. When we arrived there were no tables, so the waitress rushed some men out and fixed-up a table for us. She didn't speak any English so I had to point out the drinks we wanted. The noodles bowl was big and the noodles were long. Each bowl of soup cost $18 Hong Kong Dollar which is $2.50 US. We left the waitress $20 Hong Kong Dollar tip and she tried to give it back. When we told her to keep it she almost cried and was very thankful. Matthew, our guide said that was the biggest tip she has ever gotten and will probably ever get. He said typical tipping is 2%, 3% or 5%.
