My Time in HK

Hello readers, I apologize for reneging on an earlier promise, but I didn't have the right adapter, and did not want my laptop to die.

Now, as promised, here are some photos of my trip to Hong Kong, as well as a recollection of my adventures.

On the first night of our adventures, Judy's cousin James picked us up. We took a bus from the airport to our hotel, which seemed to take forever. After depositing our luggage, we were treated out to some really good sushi - thank you James 哥 (big brother)

It was very good, although James said it was average... He should definitely stay away from Winnipeg's sushi scene. It was an all you can eat buffet (AYCE), and I was unable to reach my target, or what I would normally eat. But it was superb.

The next night we met up with Phil, Judy's other cousin in Hong Kong, who treated us to some Japanese skewers, and dessert. Boy, oh, boy where they good. I mean meat on a stick? Grilled? Take my money! Although, I forgot James' most important rule - to take a picture :( We did go for dessert though, and I managed to remember to snap a few photos - the place was too cute.

One morning, Judy and I ventured to a nearby place for breakfast, ON OUR OWN (were practically Hong Kong-ers at this point). We were able to understand the menu (with the waitresses' help), and ordered two piping bowls of noodle soup, and some DONG NAI CHA (Hong Kong Milk Tea), which easily became our favourite drink :)

On our second last day, James took us out for some Yum Cha (Disum), and oh my God, it was delicious. The flavors dance on your tongue, and there's a perfect ratio of meat/filling to the outside layer. It was really good to experience 100% authentic Dim Sum. Later that night, we went out for some BBQ meat, and of course, I got my BBQ Pork rice, but this time, BBQ goose made its way onto my plate - to which I devoured. I got the rep of someone who eats too fast. What can I say when the food is that good? Haha.

On the last morning, we received a surprise visitor - James. He brought us a huge breakfast, one that I wouldn't mind waking up to every morning. Most notably, there was Baoloyao (Pineapple buns with BUTTER) It was the most beautiful and delicious thing I've ever had for breakfast. I think this is what I'm going to miss most from Hong Kong, food-wise.

Just look at the Baoloyaos in all their glory - I would definitely pay for a flight just to have these again. Okay, maybe not, but they still are very good.

You'll notice that DONG NAI CHA makes its way into a lot of my pictures. It's that good.

Missing HK always,
