Still plenty of pictures to go from a couple of the “momentous meals” in Hong Kong, but these are all the little “snacks” in between.

First meal in Hong Kong after touching down. Congee was good, rice noodle rolls were over-steamed. :/

At my first dim sum in Hong Kong (which had fascinatingly *flavourful* shrimp in the har gow), I noticed these… what are these things?! They look like lobsters, except they’re all tail! They’re farmed lobsters genetically bred to be perfect?!

Gotta sample McDonald’s everywhere in the world. The Chicken McNuggets taste like chicken balls. Seriously.

Randomly saw this in an MTR station. I was so happy, I probably gasped and squealed like a little girl. They had a lot more flavours than I recall at the Beard Papa I went to in the Bay Area, e.g. green tea cream. It was delicious, though, as with the Beard Papa in California, it fell short of Satura in Palo Alto.

Sunday morning on my own, scouring for dim sum by randomly walking directions. Found a place, but across the street saw a typical “fast food” restaurant, and remembered my dad’s advice to try the roast pork in Hong Kong. I’m glad I did, the skin of the roast pork is so very, very thin and so very, very crispy. Pretty good result for a random sample!

Ben & Jerry’s ice cream in Times Square. Absolutely uninteresting photograph, except that it cost nearly CAD $7 for a single scoop of cookies and cream on a sugar cone. It took me a few moments to do the math after buying it; why is division so much slower to intuitively remember?

Portugese egg tarts in Macau. Good, but I think I like a “regular” egg tart more… well made ones anyway.

All the pictures from above, and then some:
