Most of this weekend was spent eating, preparing for P&V’s wedding, and then replenishing my energy with more eating.
The preparations started with P&V’s wedding rehearsal, after which we went to Van Tea Cafe for a late dinner. Here is an example of a house special spaghetti at a Hong Kong style cafe:
Sauce to spaghetti ratio balanced, and the texture of the spaghetti was not too hard or too soggy. There were lots of toppings in it, including a copious amount of ham and chicken. The egg yolk that topped it off was still very runny and mixed in perfectly with the rest of the sauce. I surprised everybody by finishing the whole plate, and I washed it all down with lemon tea.
Other than the food, the restaurant seating area was bright and clean, although a bit cramped. We did have to wait a good 20 to 30 minutes before sitting down, despite making a reservation. Normally, this would have annoyed me enough to go down the street to another Hong Kong cafe, but it was fine that evening, because it gave us more time to plan for the wedding. Meals really are about who you are with.
