FOOD! in hong kong. FOOD! YES THAT'S RIGHT FOOD! ASIAN FOOD!

if you've already been to hong kong, you'll know how big food is in hk :)
the apartmenet i was staying at had two diff restaurants, both within 20m of each other ahah!
but really, that's the general case anyway
you have....on the street
clothes stall             clothes stalll            food stall              other clothing related stall          drink stalll      foood stall             bread stall               tea stall
the main food related stalls in hk are the bread ones. it's like....breadtop/carrington cake shop/asian bread one x9872489619082730918730192873!!! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!
and luckily they all sell dan tart. dan being 'egg' in canto and tart....do i have to explain that lmao
so basically dan tart, for the ones that aren't asian XD, is a small tart made of pastry - normally puff filled with a sweet creamy eggy custard. they're like a necessity in every hk bread store, in front of most there are stacks of trays filled with them ready to be eaten *stomach rumbles*
most of the time we were in hk we had them mmmmmmmmmm. and, believe it or not, the best one i tasted was for FREE!
the pastry wasn't puff, i think it was more of a shortcrust....not so flaky and grossly buttery but with a nice 'bite' to it. and no i didn't take a picture i ate it too fast eheheheh =)
then when we got back home, we got ready for the wedding reception, so lot's of dressing up and make-uping and blah blah blah. the food was reaaaaaaally nice -  had 12, that's right, TWELVE courses ahahah. viv and i decided that when we get married we'll have it done like "western" style but the food will be asian style! i mean, most of the reason people come is for the food...right....?
anyway, like most weddings do, there were canapes/little things to eat..? lmao
masterchef ones look much nicer, but nevertheless there were lots of little pieces of cakes/cheesecakes/chinese puddings to choose from and curry puffs, char siu baos and weird sausage things
picture time :)

left to right is this really really rich, creamy cheesecake omgggg it's worse than the crab cream soup lol, next is some pastry tart thing, that was oh-kay, next is this chocolate mouse thing not that great....and the martini kind of glass was a really really sweet juice.

hmmmmmm the curry puffs were kind of fail, one of them didn't even have a curry puff filling WTF?! but they were probably used in some other dish, that's a few pics down :)
the sandwich er....can't even remember what was in it.

and for some reason they gave the cake before the actual dinner - is that normal? o_O
meh, it wasn't that special, like the normal ones you get from asian cake shops, layers of sponge cake with diced up fruit and whipped cream.

mmmmmmmhm.

ehehehehe. i was bored so i squished it up. playing with food is fun doncha think? =D

feeling hungry? =D

the barbecued whole suckling pig came in when they turned all the lights off, and from memory when all the waiters came in (own waiter per table) big drum roll or something like that and they walked around and placed it on the table and then they sliced it - only the crispy skin and then we had it with this thing dough asian pancake thing with plum sauce i think? and yup it was nice =)

scallops and squids and vegetables was another normal asian dish - i've had that a few times in bh etc.

next one...i ceebs typing out was basically the would-be curry-puff filling....IN A SEA SHELL IT WAS SO COOL AND YUMMY!
top was crunchy and cheesy too yummmies.

next dish...braised vegetables blah blah blah blah. another normal dish i've eaten a few times in chink restaurants...
sighh since the waiter plated up our own food it wasnt like...take as much as you want. unfortunately :(
i like my bok choy and joooooshie mushyroomies!
okay what a fob.                                                           i hate blogger. do not like this random space here.

next was SHARK FIN SOUP YAAAAY! with vinegar yup yup yup.

abalone = expensive = brain food (?) = nice :)

once again there is some gay space between them two. use your imagination to fill it up :)

so this....------------>>>>

is. was.

steamed fresh garoupa.

i think it was nice. it probably was...i can't remember =D

deep fried crispy chicken...*thinks*. well it definitely wasn't a KFC style one, that's for sure. i think the bones were still on...or they were thigh/breast pieces? it was probably nice. why did i not take a picture hmmmmm..........

BUT I DID TAKE A PICTURE OF

THE NOODLES AND FRIED RICEY !

they were both kind of normal though...i think i had better noodles in canada and better fried rice in some other restaurant in hk. ahh well. it was free :)

and for dessert was yummmmmmm a nice asian pudding thing and a buttery crumbly cookie eheh and a pureed red bean soup with white glutinous rice balls with black sesame paste inside. how's your tummy going? you salivating over your keyboard already? at 3am in the morning i ceebs...
=D

once again there is some gay space here....=="










so...from that dinner i think i gained heaps but then it's hong kong and i spent the days before and after walking around 16 story shopping malls for like what 7 hours +
good exercise!
except my feet got really bad blisters :(





next day we went to....ocean terminal and had yum cha with relatives. mmmmhmmmmmmm i like choi gao now
which is.....steamed vegetable dumpling...RIGHT GRACE? RIGHT?!
