Hot Pot Dinner - Hong Kong

I must confess the food (and shopping) in HK was super.

On my last night there, we had a wonderful hot pot dinner....

First, you mix your own dipping sauce:

Then, you wait patiently for the soup to boil...

 

Once the soup is ready, we drop some goodies in...like dumplings, veggies, seafood and meat...

Then you feast, and all the while wondering when a hot pot dinner will ever taste this good again!

Farewell, HK!

Part 3: Tai O - Lantau Island, Hong Kong

While we were there, we photog lovers explored what we thought might be abandoned, explored lush nature, made friends near a temple (*pic taken on my Olympus XA2), and marveled at the golden reflections on the water...

Farewell Tai O!

Part 2: Tai O - Lantau Island, Hong Kong

Mmmmm...mmmm....snacks....

Curried fishballs...

An old-school treat - malt sugar syrup between (unsalted) crackers...

Part 1: Tai O - Lantau Island, Hong Kong

This was one of the best places I've ever visited (thanks a million, Kit!)...it was slightly reminiscent of Miyajima Island in Japan, but without the deers!  We took a quick speed boat ride to see if we could spot the pink dolphins, but unfortunately, we didn't see any that day.

New Year's Eve - Hong Kong

For New Year's, my friend rented a "junk boat" and we sailed around the harbour and watched the fire works...

Countdown and then fireworks!

After the fireworks, "2012" were lit up on buildings on both the Kowloon side, and the Hong Kong side...

Happy 2012!

Hong Kong on Random

Time spent....
on a night photo walk after a lovely dinner here,
being squished on a tram,
in search of baked sago pudding with lotus seed paste,

and so, so much more.....

There was also this colourful East Indian/Chinese store/café that we stumbled upon, and our cameras were instantly out clicking away.....

Thank you Anina + Sidney, Kathy, Mike + Yunnie, Kit and Joyce for so many fun, yummy, and unforgettable moments. xoxo

Australia Dairy Company - (Jordan) Kowloon, Hong Kong

While I was in Hong Kong, I visited the Australia Dairy Company a couple of times.
Who would have thought that scrambled eggs and toast could be this good?!  (I certainly didn't!)  I also tried the steamed milk custard which was slightly too rich for one person to indulge, especially after a large lunch.  However, be warned that you will get yelled at if you don't queue up properly outside, or be ignored if you don't order fast enough.  I thought this was all pretty humorous as it's all part of the experience. :P

So, if you're ever visiting Hong Kong, I do recommend a visit here, as this place is an institution. ;)
