On food and dream...

Well, takes a long time to prep photos, nonetheless, had completed the food tour of Hong Kong over my 4 days there. Enjoyed all meals except for one, which i had ordered wrongly and had the healthy breakfast set of milk with oatmeal. =P

Dreamt of going to workplace last night, probably as i was thinking of how to get there and wondering what to expect. Images of the workplace i will be at in Shell in my dream is still vivid in my mind. Wonder if it will be the same as in reality. It would be a case of dejavu if it was totally the same as reality, not to mention a bit frightening. Cos i would use that power to dream of toto winning numbers. Well, what would you expect me to use that power for? =P Hmmm... on lame thoughts, if the workplace is as had dreamt of, won't it mean that it is a dream job? heh heh

Anyway, back to makan in Hong Kong...


The vegetarian food is rather delicious and of a generous helping at the temple beside the big Buddha. We had the meal after climbing up the stairs to have a closer look at the Buddha and the surrounding landscape, which is rather nice. Had roasted goose and pigeon for dinner, my 1st time eating both. Goose was very good, and the pigeon is rather unique with a 'wilder' taste than duck meat.


Ordered wrongly and was served the milk with oatmeal. Yucks... but .. oh well, it is supposed to be healthy. Lunch as good with the pork balls and especially the pork balls with fish maw fillings, though it is a bit too salty. Dinner on Saturday was with Ray and his friends, with the good recommendation of 糖朝, where we had good food and the trademark BUCKET of 豆花. Very smooch and soft, and the bucket was big enough for 13 bowls of it. Woot! After dinner with Ray and gang, went to temple street for trying out the gui lin jelly. Also a big bowl S$5 only, enough for 3. Also a must try. =P


Woke up later on the last day, so had tim sum for brunch at 小肥羊. Not bad, but nothing fantastic. The highlight of the entire trip was the tea time at 池記, where the wanton and crab porridge is a MUST try! Crab porridge came in a bucket, a smaller one, enough for 5+ bowls and costs only S$10+. The wanton was superb with fresh prawns, and it was the ordinary ones as the special wantons were sold out as they make only 20 bowls per day. Normal ones are so good, wonder how power the special made ones are. Also chanced upon an old man selling roasted chestnuts at S$2 per pound. It is not only cheap, but very well done. =D
