Pre-Honeymoon - Day 7: Bum around Central (中環), Star Wars, and Michelin Star Restaurant Visit!

Met up with some high school friends for a lunch, then had some time to kill before meeting up for dinner.  So what to do... Answer: Star Wars!!!

So with my 3D glasses that I borrowed in hand (apparently in Hong Kong you had to buy and bring your own 3D glasses), went to the cinema in IFC.  For 150 HKD (~$19 USD), the movie was pretty expensive given the theater quality.  The theater itself was pretty small (there were maybe 14 rows with 10 seats each) - reminds me more of a lecture hall than a theater.  I guess though with Hong Kong having such a high population density, space does cost a premium.

Note to self: when guests from HK come, will put Cinerama as a tourist attraction.  With the chocolate popcorn and the opera style seating and many times bigger screen, it should be mind blasting!



For dinner, Aunt and Uncle 6 took us to "Sing Kee" Seafood restaurant.  Turns out in 2014 they were awarded one Michelin star!!!  This is the first time I've been to a restaurant that ever had any stars. The best dish of the night is the flash fried fresh abalone with salt and pepper.  These were just simply heavenly (I had the luck to eat 3 of them... wuhahaha).  The outside was crispy, but the inside was moist and tender.  The fish and scallop were also done really well.

After dinner, we headed to a Honeymoon Dessert location and ate some more.  The mango pancakes were great, and all the desserts for that matter.

With that, this marks the last day in Hong Kong.  Tomorrow Macau we go!
