Food and fun!

The past few weekends J and I have gone on adventures with Eric and Cherrie!
They are the BEST tour guides any crazy American could have...
Here are some of the crazy things we have done:
"bowl of rice" - [insert awesome chinese words that translate]
This "hole in the wall"place is a HK tradition. People queue up for hours waiting to eat this. As you tell from the menu, some of the items are really odd.




After suffciently stuffing ourselves with rice and waffles, we walk (for what seems like forever) to a Japanese Dessert House. OH MY! I have never had such tasty ice cream.....fresh mango and cookies & cream over fresh fruit and topped with little chocolate cookie sticks. It was heaven in a bowl :-)



Saturday's adventure was to have Hot Pot and meet Eric's best friend, Francis (quite possibly the tallest HK man I've met). Since I am not a huge fan I decided to play it safe and get minced beef with rice and egg. I was a bit skeptical at first, however, to my surprise it tasted like spaghetti! Afterward we went to the Garden Market for some shopping and bargaining, of course!


As we venture through Mong Kok it amazes me how at 11pm at night, it feels like day time because of all the lights!
