Updates with PICS! Since im feeling better now, thot i'd share some info with you peeps on my trip to HK over the weekend. It was a pretty short 4D3N trip just to get away. I honestly didnt prepare much cuz it was a relatively last minute trip. Friends suggested we get away since e company was having a short break due to some mgmt meetings so we thot why not yea?
I arrived in HK kinda excited. Afterall, it was my virgin trip to the land of shopping and more shopping! Oh, and delectable dimsum and roast meats!
So how was my trip?
Pretty disappointing 
Yea i know in e past post i raved abt e good food and all e fun. Well, who goes overseas and doesnt have fun? I had fun but it wasnt enough to wow me to wanna go back.
For one, i HATE walking. I notice HK is a place where u gotta walk and CLIMB a lot..especially at e mid levels area and e MTRs. I guess walking was kinda fun cuz it helped us look at the HK daily life better. But when u gotta walk and climb up and down stairs just to find regular dimsum places around Central and Sheung Wan, suddenly it was no longer fun. In fact, i had problems walking. (What to do, im so fat!) My legs were giving up and a fellow friend had walked so much tt he just fell on e floor after his legs went numb! What to do, we walked ard Mongkok for 3hrs straight! Hehe we're crazy tourists..
Seen at the stairs of the MTR
A word of caution for people who arent used to walking or those who adore walking in heels or more bigger sized people..do come prepared cuz theres a LOT of walking!!!
So..walking aside. Let's talk abt food.
That's one of the things i was disappointed by. I guess i had my hopes up too high. Frequent HK travelling friends told me how wonderful e dimsum in HK are..so of course i was expecting orgasmic dimsum. Unfortunately, i didnt have anything tt was out of this world. I think even SG's crystal jade is better. The dimsum here lacked a certain kind of oomph and they add interesting greenish thingy into e food tt i totally hate. It was sooo disappointing tt i didnt even take any pics.
Thankfully, i had e roast meat food. See how delicious it is?!?!?!?!?! Unlike SG where they always give u thin slices, in HK, e meats are always thick and juicy!!!! Just thinking abt it makes me drool. Oh btw, i notice tt HKies eat a lot of rice. I can NEVER finish even 1/10th of e rice they give! Its like one HUGE bowl of rice. But heheh i shant complain cuz e food is good. Which reminds me, it totally explains how come HKies arent fat even tho they eat so much rice and meat. They exercise so much from all tt walking and climbing!!! hahaha..
The roast duck here is truly orgasmic. The skin is sooo crispy but e meat is like chicken! Wonderfully tender!
The roast pork is so crispy but with a wonderfully peppery and salty taste. The charsiew? Delectably sweet and tender! Don't be fooled by e bowl. It's actually bigger than e size of my head! That's how huge e serving is!!! Imagine how thick and big e meats are! (ooh tt sounds kinda naughty *winks*)
Oh, i had Yoshinoya there. I dunno maybe its just me but i feel e Yoshinoya there was MUCH nicer. The beehoon was light and had a nice flavor tt didnt mask e beehoon taste. And e beef was more wholesome. The juices burst out of e beef when u chewed it. It felt sooo good!
One more thing! I know this is sooo crazy but i went mad over Mcdonalds Sausage Mcmuffin with egg! In Hongkong, their breakfast items are available all day! Wonderful isnt it! And e SME uses pork (i think). It tastes like e one i had in US. Anyways, it was sooo delicious. I ate 2 up ate one go i know i know, im sucha fat pig..but its sooo delicious! It tastes nothing like e SG one. SG's nice but this is WAY NICER!!! They serve thai sweet chilli overe here..
Ok, am gonna update more on my other food! Hehehhe
