Big Tree Foot or 大树脚

shutterjam, bigfish and I headed to town during our lunch break for a very special rendezvous - bigfish's first VR glass!

But first, we got to fill our tummies. So shutterjam suggested a new place to us. It's literally called Big Tree Foot in Chinese. It's near the ferry and near the Customs building. I'm not sure if I can find the place again, but look for the interesting designs on the sidewalk. Then you'll find a place with a huge tree growing right in the middle (and through) the entrance.

The place is surprisingly cool, a stark contrast to the weather outside. I guess the water that's running along the rooftops helped to cool things down. There is quite a spread of seafood, vegetables, even some western looking bits, all very fresh and very tempting.

shutterjam ordered for us some soft-shelled crabs, vegetables, sweet and sour fish and fried squid. Marvellous! And cheap too. Before the food arrived, we were given appetizers that looked like pappadums. These came with some curry. They were ok, but the main dishes were the highlight of the meal.


Big Tree Foot. Highly recommended for it's unique name and delicious food.
