Fish and seafoods are also a feature on Hong Kong's menue. Since it is a port city water creatures are served in many delicious ways.... mmmmm.....
The great thing about buying fish here is that is is FRESH. Like live-two-seconds-before-they-hand-it-to-you fresh.
The best seafood is live, right before you eat it :)
Sooooooo good :3
One of the best things about my last visit to HK was the hotel we stayed at, the Shangri-La. It was incredible! One of the best things about the the Shangri-La? Tea time and the pastry shop... oh yeah!
To the left is on of the largest silk paintings in the world. It goes up about.... 20 stories? something ridiculous like that....
During tea time there was a quartet playing. It was extremely lovely music and my father clapped very enthusiastically for them everytime they finished a song. Later on that day when they saw us, they waved. It was sweet.
To the left is my family who came for tea <3
To the right is a tower of deliciousness.
The top and middle plate are various pastries, the bottom is tiny sandwhiches and more savory-type items.
These are some tiny cakes is picked up from the bakery at the Shangri-La later on that week. One my dad, mom sister and me. They were expertly made. Delicate, sweet enough but not overly so with the right balance of flavors.
The yellow one is a mango was mango custard, the white one was a creamy white mousse. The one with the berries was a simple sponge-like cake and the chocolate covered one was the Shangri-La specialty.
