Dim Sum Anyone?


Dim Sum Anyone?

On Our first full day I wandered downstairs to the bakery in the hotel grabbed a pastry and a Cappuccino that wasn't very good and went to look for a quiet place to have some breakfast. I wandered up to check out the rooftop pool, but there was no place with shade to sit (It was already blazing hot at 7:30 a.m.) So I went back to our room. W was slowly waking up, and we were starting to think about a real breakfast. We went to breakfast a few doors down the road at Theresa's Coffee Restaurant. I had an English style breakfast that at least revved the engine a little bit, but it was still hard to be faced with all the hustle and bustle in there so early in the morning. After breakfast we dropped in to the Wellcome (a compact urban grocery store) across the street. My natural instinct was to check out a few of my company's products on the shelves, and I grabbed a couple to bring home. Then we moved on to Dim Sum!!! We ate at a place called the Kingsburg Seafood restaurant and If I've googled it properly it was in the Carnarvon Plaza, Tsim Sha Tsui. We ate and ate and ate and everything was soooooo delicious.

After Brunch we took the long double decker bus ride out to The stanley market, and spent the afternoon shopping.After the stanley market we found another great seafood place that was So so good. Any time you eat seafood in HK you have most likely passed your dinner still swimming in a tank on your way to your table. The freshness is amazing. The rest of the group was ready for a massage, but since that's not really my deal I went for dessert with our new friend and part time tour guide Komon. In HK there are dessert and drink shops everywhere, and inside are the most delicious drinks and mango dishes you can possibly get your hands on.. After dessert I went back to the room and attempted to wait for the group to get home, but was powerless to fight the need for sleep
