Welcome back, that was a long 9days in HKG/Macau which normally people take about 5days. We didnt miss your blogs tho as they kept coming.
It’s a bad time to be there when it’s hot cos it so much nicer if it’s cool.
Foodwise, that’s a nice assortment of pics which is so nice; dont know which to point out but they all looked so good, I wanna go back there….
[Reply]
Wahhhhh…..you really ate!

lyrical lemongrass : haha, go on! fly away! though it’s highly recommended to go at end of yr, when it’s cooler.
christy : yup, I started work yday, but arranged the photos almost all day. hehe .. 🙂
ck lam : the red bean is served on top of steamed milk (siong pei nai), not taufufa. but very rich milky flavour. slurp …
mycroft : yup, the choices are unlimited, I dare say. I would’ve pigged out 6 meals a day had it not been slightly pricier than Msia’s.
joe : yeah … sometimes a makan trip’s all we need to counter the monotonous pace of working life …
jencooks : thanks for dropping by often. =) agreed that it’s cool if the weather’s erm… cooler.
wmw : but still not enough la. there are countless stuff I missed. next trip I’ll prepare a longer n concise list. hehe

kampungboycitygal : street food’s aplenty, but sometimes we can’t stomach much as almost every meal’s a chore to finish.
precious pea : then go in Nov/Dec best? no typhoon, no worries. only slight rain on 2 mornings. and yes, that shop is Seng Cheong, the one on Ruo De Cunha.
kca : aiya, so far, how to tapau ah? haha … how bout something from sabah eh?
