Our lazy last day, Eating in Hong Kong
Day 11 in Hong Kong and today was our departure day. We had a 7 or 8 pm flight out of Hong Kong, which meant that we had nearly a full day left.
Thankfully, our hotel deal included a check-out time of 4 pm; which turned out to be perfect for us.
My parents and our TA friend did call to see what we wanted to do but it turns out DH and DS also just wanted to veg out around the hotel. We made plans to meet downstairs in the hotel lobby at 3.30 pm and they went their own way.
DS wanted to go for a swim so that left me doing most of the packing in the morning. I was still pretty sick but between the cough medicine and Sudafed, I was managing.
Sick or not, we still needed to eat.
I was keen to try somewhere else; but DS was really keen on the fish ball noodles at Praise Noodle House.
My order was rice with two types of the BBQ pork. It was pretty good.
The bonus was the herbal soup that came with my meal; just what the doctor ordered!
DH decided on the noodles with vegetables and oyster sauce.
His meal came with broth. Moine! Moine! Moine!
One of the things that the others did after dinner last night was have dessert, Asian style. DH was keen for me to sample some as well and given that iSquare had one of these, we just walked our way on over.
Take a look at the samples from the window.
Im starting to see a couple of these type of dessert houses open up in Melbourne city. I have yet to go in to try any of them; but I have no doubt that Ill be making my way into one of them in the next couple of months or so.
Asian desserts are usually a sweet soup, served warm. They are not to DS taste; he opted to wait for us to finish .only after he negotiated his fee of an ice cream after we had finished our dessert.
I chose to have the red bean soup with tau foo fah.
DH opted for the black rice soup, with sesame seed balls.
Even for my Asian tastebuds, DHs dessert was odd. But he loved it.
My dessert was wonderful. With the lunch we had, we rolled back to the hotel yet again.
Whats that?
No, I havent forgotten that we had promised DS some ice cream. Whilst in Honeymoon Desserts, I reminded DS about a particular shop we keep walking past in the Metropolis Mall.
I found this picture in my Day 11 set. You can see our hotel and the mall right next to it.
And to complete the picture, I turned to the Hung Hom train station that had been so conveniently located a short walk away from the hotel.
I know Tutti Frutti can be found pretty much everywhere in the US and they are even available in Australia.
But we did stop in here earlier in the week ..
.and we found that there were flavours like mango, guava and tangerine.
DS loved the exotic flavours and was keen to head back.
Our final moments in Hung Hom!
