Landed and cleared immigration - with less than 1 hour of sleep in 24 hr+, you'd think I'd be sleepy. But not really. First thing's first... EAT!
First meal (at the airport!) and snack in HK
After a quick breakfast, we headed to Ma On Shan (where I would be staying for a week). Took a quick power nap, then off for more food!
En route to dim sum, saw a stand selling curry fish balls. So of course I had to buy it and eat it.
Oh - and also got a MTR card and filled it up with 150 HKD. Now I feel like a true HK-lite!!
First Lunch (Dim Sum)
This was a fancy dim sum place, and there were a few stand out dim sum. One was the buns below served in a 'qi' stone bowl, and the other (our favorite), was the pork in the second picture. These little cubes of goodness was just delicious, forcing us to order a couple plates of it.
Couple's Foot Massage!
Up next after lunch, a foot massage. Both of use did it side by side :). Below is a picture of my feet soaking in some hot water that is suppose to relax and warm up my feet.
After the foot massage, we would also get some 'old fire' soup. Mmmmmm....
First Dinner in HK (Taiwanese Cafe - TeaWood)
In additional to the dish below, had a fruit tea as well as some noodles (not shown). It was pretty good. Very nice place.
First Post Dinner in HK
After the dinner, we dropped by a friend's place, where there were some Taylor shellfish oysters, and a fancy massage chair, AND Vitasoy lemon tea. I was hesitant to eat the oysters though (since it was my first day) - so I only ate about half a dozen. But I took full use of the massage chair - what a nice piece of furniture to have at home...
With a double massage day, and having slept ~2 hours in the last 48 hours, we went back home, took a shower, turned on the AC..
