Today we took the metro into Wan Chai and went to a different noodle place for breakfast. I had the same type of thing, instant noodles with spam and egg. It was about $4 US, and pretty much the right amount of food.
At lunch we went to the post office to get stamps for and mail postcards, and then went over to a little cafe. The stamps aren't stickers, we had to lick all of them before putting them on the postcards. At lunch I got “chicken steak with BBQ sauce” that had rice and vegetables with it. The “chicken steak” is pretty much just a boneless chicken thigh that was cooked on a little grill or pan or something. This had two of them, it was tasty and filling. It also came with a little bowl of soup and a choice of drinks. I got hot lemon tea.
After work, we took the MTR back to our apartments. I cut open and ate my dragon fruit. The inside is white with a bunch of black seeds, kind of looks like a big kiwi in a way. The texture is also similar to a kiwi. I don’t know what the flavor would compare to, but it was really sweet and tasted good. I ate the whole thing really quickly. It is probably the size of a medium sized mango. I just took a spoon and ate it right out of the skin, the skin is so bright, it looked really neat when I got through all the foot and got to the inside of the skin.
Ciara, Evelyn and I went down to the Temple Night Market on Kowloon. We took the MTR to Jordan and then walked a couple of blocks to the market. There was a restaurant outside the market that advertised Spicy Crab, which is something that we’ve been wanting so we sat down. We started to order and they told us the crab was $400 HKD, which is crazy, so we didn’t order that. We had chicken wings, noodles, and crab & shrimp cakes instead. Once we were inside the market we saw another restaurant that had the same spicy crab for $280. We will find somewhere and have it before we leave.
The temple market is neat, Ciara and I want to go back. There is also a jade market nearby, I would like to get a necklace or pair of jade earrings or something, so I also want to stop there. The temple market has a lot of bags, wallets and purses, clothes, and there are also a lot of souvenir type things. I bought a couple of things, and there were some other things that I saw that I might buy, but I need to figure out what is needed. It wasn’t too crowded, so that was nice. It was a bit misty/rainy, so that might have kept the crowd down a bit. The market is open until 11pm, we stayed until around 9 or 9:30 and then headed back to our apartments. Will be nice to get out there one more time and see the other markets around this one.
Pictures are a bit out of order today...
