Pre-Honeymoon - Day 3: Brief 旺角 (Mong Kok) excursion

With roommate feeling a little bit better, today we went out to town.

First stop was eating the classic HK lite breakfast - instant noodle with egg and spam!.. Delicious!

Then we headed into the city for some dim sum.  After dim sum, we went to 旺角 to walk around. There was lots of food around, but didn't eat much (any in fact).  The place smelled like sewage everywhere, so didn't really have an appetite as a result.  In general, it was a bit too crowded for my taste, just seemed like street after street of flea market goods, but unlike Taiwanese night market, there wasn't enough food stalls in between - mostly they were selling phone cases, or bags, or shoes.. etc etc... guess I am not a true HK lite afterall :(.  However, there was a mall (The One) and in it a dessert place - that was super yummy.

Crashed a friend's place for a boxing day dinner.  Played a bunch of random games like keeping balloons up, popping balloons, beer pong... It was fun!

Tomorrow I return to where I came from!


Food Tally:
Breakfast @ 太興(185 HKD) - Instant Noodle with Egg and Spam ... Classic hk lite breakfast
Lunch: More dim sum @ a resturant next to a Cub Scout HQ
Snack: Dessert (63 HKD) - 楊支甘露 and 芝麻糊配豆腐花
Dinner: (480 HKD) - First attempt at eating some fatty crab!  Had two crab heads... Yummy!

Total Spent on Food for the Day185 + 63 + 480 = 728 HKD = ~$94 USD
