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

Today we went to an AYCE Japanese shabushabu and sukiyaki hot pot restaurant called Gyujin Shabu Shabu & Sukiyaki Restaurant (牛陣).
