Disneyland Hotel Chinafood

Long long ago, this picture was taken.



And so it was fitting that our final meal in HK took place at Disneyland Hotel in their Chinese restaurant...






The place was extraordinarily fancy.




With dumplings made of gold!




And tara mash things yummy things shaped like swans...



And delicious soup dumplings!



And it was some Asian named Angel Ho's birthday. Oh Asians!



Ok I'm done with Hong Kong. Back to New York!

Last Night out in HK

Kady, who went to high school and college with me, told me to meet her and some friends for happy hour.



So I invited my friends too.




Yay worlds combining.



TL brought her friend Emmey who looks just like Jessup.



Alcohol at bars in Hong Kong is crazy expensive. Like more expensive than in NYC. For instance a Heineken costs $11 USD.

Happily there are no open container rules and it's so crowded that very often people spill out into the streets from the bars, so you can easily run two doors down to 7-Eleven, where a 36 oz. Asahi SuperDry is only $3 USD and bring it back to the bar, and nobody blinks an eye.





And of course, no HK visit is complete without a visit to Dragon-I, self-described as "Asia's most creative and eclectic vision of lounge, with dining and partying for the global glitterati..."



Tim's friend Dave was in town from China. At 7 feet tall, he formerly played for the Indiana Pacers, and then was sent to China to play for the Peking Ducks. No joke.



Famous for the flaming bottle service, D-i did not dissapoint.




Dragon-i is known for its weekly "Models Nights". And the ladies on hand were, in fact, quite pretty.




Tim's friend Janis reminded me of an Asian Mandy Moore.



The light show and dance party here is typically insane.












Kady joined us late night with her new husband.




It was a lot of fun.




Clarence is hilarious because he is totally cute, but I don't think he thinks so. And so if a girl initiates conversation with him, he automatically assumes she's a prostitute looking for a client.

We must have met like 4 or 5 "prostitutes" that night.



Great last night out!



I will miss you guys. Maybe see you in May!



The rest of this I don't remember...I guess we ended up back in LKF proper.

More Eatttttting

My grandma is CRAZY about Ming Court, where she had her banquet. And literally the next morning the family went back there for lunch. And then we went AGAIN for dinner.

NUTS. Seriously nuts she is.

I skipped the lunch. But for dinner we had mMMMmmM cheese crab.



Truffle-y pork potato stuff...



And ew...goose webs. I did not touch mine.



Family dinners so fun!



That evening at Ming Court, Kristy went to the bathroom before leaving the restaurant...and found AN ENGAGEMENT RING.



We reported it to the manager, saying we had found "something important" and if anyone called asking for a missing "expensive item" to call us, but no one ever called.

So a few days later we went and got it appraised and it was a flawless .6 karat diamond. Worth a couple thousand dollars. Crazy! (Kristy is, I believe, still currently wearing it on her right hand.)

Oh, we also had love jello.



Ohhhhh and then another day Gooma brought us to this great Indian restaurant Tandoor, which has THE GREATEST Indian buffet I've ever had in the world. Literally.




Normally buffet food gets over-cooked and isn't that great.

Not so here. Everything is prepared perfectly.






The whole fam went.




And loved it.



We are eatmonsters.




And then we also had lots of family dinners at home, prepared by the lovely maids, Jo and Mercy. Lots and lots of delicious seafoods.



And veggies.



And seafoods.



And then gradually everyone started departing. So we had one big night out with our parents before they all left.

We started out walking along the harbor...



On HK's version of the Walk of Fame...



Then we stopped at the Intercontinental (where I went with Amanda my first night)...



Breathtaking view.



And fun leaning Green Dragon drinks!





And yummy desserts.



Woohoo!



I also went to Ajisen Ramen for my favorite Garlic Beef dish.



And ramens with TL.




And then finally we went on a cookie quest.





Cookies Quartet. Home of delicious bite-size cookies.




Ok we're almost done with HK. One more meal and one more night out.

Will post that stuff tomorrow-ish.
