Day 1 in Hong Kong!

Yayyy finally have time for another blog post!

I probably won't be able to post pictures of things I ate every day in Hong Kong, but I will try to show you all the highlights :)

Hong Kong is truly a foodies heaven :P

Breakfast at Maxim
Luncheon meat with egg instant noodles and iced lemon tea

 I would say this is a very "traditional" fast food breakfast in Hong Kong. I know...as a nutritional science student, I should know better than having instant noodles for breakfast :P But hey...it was REALLY good!

Dinner at Watami Japanese Restaurant in Tseung Kwan O Shopping Mall

For our Beef Udon Hot Pot

Beef Udon Hot Pot

Salmon, shrimp, scallop sushi roll

Beef and egg rice

My drink :) Passion fruit and mango bubble tea

Beef Udon Hot Pot

Ramen

I was recommended to try out Watami from my bf, Ronald (Hi!! If you are reading this :P). Basically, it is a Japanese Fusion Restaurant. I thought it was pretty good! The highlight was definitely the beef hot pot. The soup base was DELICIOUS! It was very rich in flavour; went really well with the udon :) I think there are various Watami locations in Hong Kong...not too sure; but we went to the one in Tseung Kwan O Shopping Mall.

I believe there is a Watami in Richmond (across from Lansdowne), but I heard it is not as great. Maybe someone can try and let me know :)

Thank you for the recommendation :D

Hong Kong Trip - From YVR to HKG

My flight from Vancouver to Hong Kong was amazing! The food and service were great! On top of that, there wasn't turbulence at all!!!

Being the hungry foodie that I am, of course I took pictures of what I ate :)

First meal - Lunch

Braised beef with shiitake mushroom sauce, spinach mashed potatoes, green peas and carrots

Haagen-Dazs ice-cream, Prawns with edamame and red pepper salad

 Lunch was great! Usually I can't really eat airplane food due to the off-putting smell, but Cathay's meal are quite delicious for airplane meal standards. Shrimps from the salad were fresh. My favourite was the Haagen-Dazs ice-cream bar! I only ate half because I didn't bring my Lactaid pills :P

Heineken and cup noodles as snack

Dinner - Chicken with hickory barbecue sauce, roasted rosemary potatoes and mixed vegetables

Desserts from dinner - Blueberry cheesecake and seasonal fresh fruits

Overall experience with Cathay was a blast! No motion sickness and didn't feel sick from the plane meal smell. Thank you for the smooth flight :D Definitely will be flying with Cathay next time!

Update!
