Hong Kong International Airport, September 2017
Every time I’m at the airport travelling, this photo of the windows almost always gets taken. Here is the most recent one as I returned home from my trip to Asia in 2017. 🙂
For some pontificating: This photo shows window panes among window panes and shows the window of opportunity to the world. Since it is a photo of an Continue reading

September 22, 2017: After the yummy mantis shrimp meal we had, we were in the Shatin area and I wanted some herbal jelly to balance out the heat in my body. We came across a herbal jelly shop called Hoi Tin Tong 海天堂.
We each ordered the 香港傳統龜苓膏 (“Hong Kong traditional turtle herbal jelly”) in cold version. The bowl that it was Continue reading

September 22, 2017: A quick post: Jade and I met up for our (almost) yearly chat at Blacksmith Tea House! It’s a small and characteristic cafe on Hoi Pong Street in Sai Kung.

They had a good menu of Western snacks, French toasts, Continue reading
New Tung Kee Chinese Restaurant located on Tung Chung Rd in Tung Chung in Hong Kong
September 21, 2017: After the longest hike of my life (4 hours of 12 km!), we arrived back at our starting location and ate dinner at a dai pai dong called New Tung Kee Chinese Restaurant in Tung Chung (新東記大排檔) around 8:30 at night.
At first, we didn’t want to dine in because we noticed from walking inside for a second that there were people smoking in the restaurant. We didn’t want to dine in a place with billowing second-hand smoke. However, we also noticed Continue reading

The orders came out straight away. I liked that the soup Continue reading
Gyujin Shabu Shabu & Sukiyaki Restaurant located at Shop 217, 2/F, Zone B, Tai Po Mega Mall, 8-10 On Pong Road, Tai Po in Hong Kong
September 20, 2017:
Today we went to an AYCE Japanese shabushabu and sukiyaki hot pot restaurant called Gyujin Shabu Shabu & Sukiyaki Restaurant (牛陣). My aunt recommended this to us saying that their lunch deal was a steal. For only $69 Hong Kong Dollars, one person could get an hour where there was all-you-can-eat clear soup hot pot of various vegetables, fish balls, meat balls, noodles, and various other hot pot items. There was a tray of sliced beef and pork per Continue reading
