Hong Kong Day 32 -- HK French toast at "tea time" and Japanese for dinner

Getting close to our last weekend.  We picked up buns for breakfast and worked on our project.  For lunch, we went to the bar across the street from the office that we went to last week.  They have a lunch set where you can choose between a soup or salad and one of four entrees.  I got the "caesar salad" that had what tasted like a honey mustard dressing.  It was more of a house salad than a caesar salad, so it wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but it was nice and fresh and the dressing tasted good. We decided to get two entrees and split them so that we could try two dishes.  We got Beef Tenderloin and prawn with mashed potatoes and gravy, and the pork ribs with "chips".  They both came with cauliflower and carrots.  It was really good, the ribs were probably better than the beef, just because parts of it were pretty tough.   A good amount of the beef was cooked perfectly and was nice and tender, but there were parts that were kind of hard to eat.  

After lunch we went to a place that makes Hong Kong Style French Toast.  It is a thick piece of bread with peanut butter in the middle, and then it is coated in egg/batter and cooked in butter.  Most places that have it only make it during tea time, which is 2 or 2:30 until 6, so during the time we are working.  We started our lunch a bit late today so we were able to pick some up at the beginning of tea time and bring it back to the office.  It was pretty good, but I saw one thing about it that said sometimes there is jam in the middle also, so I might like to try that.

We went back to our apartments after work and changed before going to an early dinner.  We went to a Japanese BBQ place, it was good, but kind of expensive so we didn't order a ton, and then went and picked up some street food after.  At the Japanese restaurant we ordered some stir-fried noodles and also some prawns to share, and then we each chose one more thing for ourselves.  I had grilled chicken wings.  It had a choice of salt rub or Szechwan spice, and I got it with the salt rub.  It was really good.  The noodles and prawns were also tasty, we got the spicy prawns, and the sauce that was on them was tasty.  After we ate we walked over to the street food place and I got lobster balls again.  The Japanese was good, but since it was expensive we just decided to get inexpensive street food instead of ordering another dish.  We ate our snacks and then went over to a store before heading back to our apartments
