There are some great restaurants around our student halls and we keep discovering more everyday. We've had some excellent Thai and Vietnamese food, ate at a phenomenal Shanghai Style chinese restaurant where our friend Birdy ordered all the food for everyone and we all shared a great variety of stuff. A few of the food highlights here have been the food we had in Macau, a Japanese sushi restaurant we went to with a few local friends and the swedes, where the whole menu is 40% off after 9:30pm. Needless to say there was a long line out front at about 9:15, but we eventually got a table and gorged ourselves on sushi and sake, and seafood soup tea. Absolutely delicious, and very cheap thanks to the generous discount.
Another night I ventured off to a Korean Barbeque restaurant not far from the halls, where I had dinner with some additional swedes who had just arrived. We all had a great dinner, a buffet of all-you-can-eat, that included sushi, raw beef, lamb, chicken, pork, squid, octopus, oysters, ox tongue, duck gizzard, fried tofu, bok choy, green beans, mushrooms, and much more.. including jello for some reason, which seemed out of place but was nice.
Another favorite of mine, a dessert, is a fancy ice (cream) from taiwan? I believe, can't really remember right now. But it is delicious and it's a shaved ice that is folded and layered and when it melts is very similar to ice cream. You can get chocolate, milk, banana, green tea, coffee, and many other flavors of the ice cream. Then add fruit, toppings, and various other coverings to enhance your sundae. Very delicious. There are some great eats here in Hong Kong, and we are just at the tip of the iceberg.
