Right off the MTR Sham Sui Po Station, pick up one of these But Chai Go’s (rice pudding cake with red bean…) at Kwan Kee’s Store 坤記 :



Then, head to Kam Wah Cafe 金華冰廳 for pineapple bun (BLB or Bor Lor Bao) with butter:



Then, off to Shanghai Min at MOKO for dinner. Here’s an egg dumpling in soup, with cabbage underneath (super tasty, would recommend):



These giant pink air plants were pretty popular in Asia. I had to get one, they were only $30HKD:



Well, that’s the end of Hong Kong. I don’t miss it, it’s not a place I call home or a place that I would visit for no reason. There’s a lot of history and it’s exciting, if you’re into advertisements right in your face. It’s exhausting though. No wonder people in Hong Kong don't smile.

H was craving Asian food, so for lunch, we trotted over to Chinatown to see what we could find. D was able to take a break from work, and met us at Asian Legend for a quick bite of Shanghai. We were not disappointed, despite the outside of the restaurant looking dingy and the inside looking dimly lit. The washrooms were quite nasty. Typical Chinese restaurant smell and atmosphere, we felt right at home.



We had the hot soy soup (?) with a Chinese donut, the drunken chicken (bottom), XLB (top left), and the dan dan noodle (top right). I think this was probably my favourite drunken chicken EVER, it was so tender and soaked with flavour. I still think about this chicken, even 2 weeks later. The prices were what we were used to, I think for the 3 of us for lunch, it came to about $30 – $40.



Weekend! Some things I want to do this weekend…
