We headed through to Osaka briefly before our flight to Hong Kong. We basically ate and wandered around. Not unpleasant at all. Andrew was fascinated with the large Ferris Wheel – maybe because it was red I think.
And then a brief time in Hong Kong – but enjoyable as always. We stayed in Kowloon for a change, so it was nice to check out some less familiar territory.
We went to the very good Museum of Hong Kong history. Initially I was a bit underwhelmed by the geological and dinosaur displays. But once you moved into the ethnographic displays it becomes fascinating. They have done it really well detailing ethnic groups and recent & not so recent history. We ended up spending quite a bit of time here.
Sarah was brave, leaving Hong Kong island to come over to the ‘dark-side’. We had a very nice meal together at a modern French Bistro : Scarlett. The food and wine (and company) were very good, but the Pimms we all had to start with was a major disappointment. I guess you shouldnt expect a French restaurant to make a English drink 🙂
At the other end of the dining scale was our first night meal. We decided to stay close to the hotel and ended up at a local spot near Temple market. Crowded tables of locals and a couple of pairs of foreigners suggested it was a good place. Rough and ready it delivered good beers, delicious lemon chicken with a healthy side dish of broccoli and garlic.
Of course a sign of bravery in any restaurant is seeing one of the chefs cooking in front of burning woks – without any shirt on
