Hong Kong Part 1



I didn't take many pictures while I was in Hong Kong being worried of coming off as too "tourist-y" but these are some food-related ones.

The great thing was the variety of bottled fruit juices that would be available at the grocery store, Starbucks, and in this case, food court restaurants. Watermelon juice with your ramen?


When I first saw this at the local grocery store, I was surprised and kind of chuckled in my head. Then I thought that it does make sense and would be convenient for people who don't like crusts on their bread.


Pretty self explanatory:


These are just 3 of the rows and rows of dried seafood stalls in the Sheung Wan area of Hong Kong. Everyday I would see them dry out assorted seafoods by the side of the road. It definitely makes me think twice next time I eat dried seafood when I think about how polluted it is and all the exhaust fumes the seafood must absorb while drying.


More to come!

Angry Birds

I've finally had some time to post up this cake that I made before I went to Hong Kong. Inside this was a chocolate cake with hazelnut buttercream and caramelized hazelnuts. We've got all the angry birds characters plus some piggies as well! I think it's adorable.
