food

I was wandering desperately for food and a decent bathroom.

Tsim Sha Tsui is packed full of Indian tailors trying to make me custom shirts and suits. So I usually just walk on past people trying to hand me pamphlets. But I was starving..

I thought it was just another restuarant, but it turned out to be a really expensive japanese restuarant. I asked where the restuarant was and the girl took me up an elevator. I was way underdressed. I was thinking of spending maybe $40 HKD, but it ended up at $256 HKD, but it was so worth it. Oh yummmmmm.. ahhh :)

It was one of those dinners where they give you all the bits and a hot pot and you cook it yourself. Since I had no clue how much to cook anything, the hostess basically cooked it all for me.

Expensive in Hong Kong is relative though. If I went somewhere like that in Melbourne it’d be something like $80-90 AUD. Just for me.

    oh wow, hot pot! there’s a recipie in my sichuan cook book. there’s a picture with dried red chillies floating in a ‘little’ bit of broth (I take it you had a saner hong kong version?) I keep planning to buy a hotpot so I can try it… maybe not though, charcoal burner in my little kitchen could be a problem…
    but you should have taken a photo! then we could salivate + jealousy ;)

    Actually since there was nothing on the menu that was vegetarian, I caved and had the one with premium seafood.
