Oodles of noodles

My friend and I were whisked off to Hong Kong last weekend for four days of food and shopping. I love holidays with the girlfriends!

Of course, my first meal was wanton mee (prawn dumpling noodles) from Chee Kei. I love that shop! The noodles are chewy and (as the italians say) al dente, and the dumplings are bursting with the freshest prawns. Mmm just thinking about it makes me salivate!

Hong Kong will always have a special place in my heart as it is where my godmother and good friends from my exchange days stay.

How great is it to meet up with friends whom you have not met in years and still have that same sense of familiarity!

We also took time to head to Macau for a day trip and stumbled onto more great food. Unfortunately we decided to try our hands at the gambling table and lost! It was an eye opener though.

More about Hong Kong in another post as another busy weekend awaits me.

The Fantasy and Science Fiction course that I am taking on Coursera is coming to an end. I am going to miss it. On a happier note, I did really well for the essay that I wrote on Ray Bradbury and received great comments asking me to keep writing. It is great being good at what you enjoy!

  1. Crikey, that looks good! I am jealous. My friend recently went to Shanghai for a week, but utterly failed at producing the requested food photo-diary, and I was v. disappointed. ;-)
