I assume you are here because you read my previous post.

Or you are searching for Duck Shing Ho and my blog showed up. Nevertheless, this post shall guide you on how to get here for the famous eggrolls.
Duck Shing Ho is located at North Point 北角. The shop can be accessed by the MTR, buses, or the tram. In my case, I took the MTR since it's the most convenient form of transport - avoid the jams - it's regular and fast; you won't have to worry about missing your stop or what.
North Point Station is on the Blue Line, which most of you should be taking. I stayed in Wanchai, so I took the Blue Line in the direction of Tsuen Wan.
Get off at North Point and walk in the direction of exit A (towards Java Road). You shall see Kee Wah on the way (as tempted as you are, you are already at North Point, so do try to make an attempt at Duck Shing Ho first!). Touch wood, but if Duck Shing Ho had sold out, then you could buy from Kee Wah as consolation, though I would still advise against it -there's Wing Wah at the airport, and Hang Heung in town). You could buy other bakery goods from Kee Wah though.
On the left of Kee Wah is Exit A.
A closer look.
As you proceed along this tunnel, Exit A will split into a fork. Take exit A1.
Eventually, you will come to the exit.
This would be what you will see once you step out:
Turn left and see this.
In the distance, you may be able to see a big flyover for vehicles. Walk towards this flyover. If you can't spot it, it's ok. Just walk towards the 富安皮鞋. The Java Road Municipal Services Building will be on your right.
As you continue on, you shall see the Java Road Market on your right, just next to the Municipal Services Building.
You will see this small alcove for trespassing under the flyover.
There would be a 7-11 ahead.Walk towards it.
By now, you should be barely able to see a line of people in front of a shop.
In fact, you should be able to spot the Duck Shing Ho signboard already.
Magnified:
The front of the store:
And hence join the queue!
The first queue (on the left) is for orders and payments. Each individual is only allowed 4 pounds of egg rolls. The big tin is 2 pounds while the small tin is 1 pound.
This is the payment counter, which is the end of the first queue.
You will get a receipt after payment.
Join the second queue on the right for collection, with your receipt. Just show the receipt to the shopkeeper and she will pack your orders for you. If while queueing, you decide to change your mind and want to switch flavours, or switch to 2 small tins instead of 1 large tin etc, just tell the shopkeeper and she'll change it for you. A girl in front of me decided to change to coconut flavour instead and the auntie changed it for her without fuss. She just topped up payment. The auntie wasn't even peeved, and was quite helpful.
Meanwhile, I saw another person rejoin the queue right after payment. I didn't stay to watch, but I assume she was trying to circumvent the 4-pound limit rule - she was re-queueing to make another 4-pound purchase.
If you have arrived late, the queue might have subsided. Like the picture below, it was about 10 am and wasn't that crowded already, and open stocks for sale were still plentiful - the girl who had requeued was almost at the payment counter again. Remember to join the left queue for order and payment first, then the right queue for collection.
And you are done! Enjoy your egg rolls!

Now the flyover is more obvious. Continue walking towards it.

Hi Gary,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the very clear and illustrative step-by-step directions to Duck Shing Ho. Sadly, we did not manage to get any egg rolls and was informed that bookings are full all the way to October. Nonetheless, we head back to Sogo for Hang Heung and weren't disappointed with the quality of the egg rolls either. Thanks for this lovely post.
