A Not So Healthy Meal

I was craving for instant noodles last night, just before I went to sleep.

So tonight, I decided to satisfy my taste bud. The cool weather also made me feel like eating something steaming hot.

Upon reaching home, I quickly searched the fridge for ingredients that can be addded to the instant noodles. I managed to find some minced pork, spring onion, eggs and 奶白. Cooked the noodles using my favourite Japanese soup base. Yum yum!


I think I am quite a good cook. Hahaha!

Following the email to discourage staff from the same department from lunching together, I think I should seriously consider bringing lunch to the office. Maybe I should cook more at night or wake up earlier to prepare food. Let's see how things go. :)

香港行之舊式茶樓

我喜欢现代化，所以对旧的东西向来没什么感觉。我不否认，我的喜新厌旧或许是一种偏执。

不过，我却对香港的旧式茶楼颇感兴趣。这一趟到香江，我们尽量找些老旧的餐室用餐，感染一下怀旧的气息。在港的第一餐，我们就到位于饭店不远的美都餐室吃午餐。我们绕了好一会儿才找到地方。


二楼正在装修，所以我们得到三楼去。找了位子，餐室的老板和伙计不太理会我们。无所谓，我们继续研究密密麻麻的食物名称。决定好后，女侍应生走过来把我们点的食物记下。九年后的香港，普通话真是普及多了。这对不会讲广东话的我来说，实在是一种便利。

餐室的怀旧气氛浓厚，感觉非常香港！从窗外望出去，星期六的街道并没有想象中拥挤。

这一刻，时间仿佛静止，停格在六零年代。


玻璃瓶装的可乐，好令人怀念！喝起来格外解渴。


这是餐室的招牌菜——排骨炬饭。四十年来地位屹立不到，的确有它的原因！


忍不住还是点了餐蛋通心粉。平淡无奇，却非常地道。


第二天早上，我们又到一家旧式茶楼喝早茶。


感觉有点像红星，点心都是推出来的。这一次，广东话不及格的我只好闭嘴。YQ 的广东话也不太灵光，最后我们只点了铁三角——虾饺、烧卖、叉烧包，还有叉烧肠粉。


我们坐在茶楼里边看《苹果日报》，边享受这种时光倒流三十年的感觉！

来到香港这样一个现代都市，却又希望感染怀旧气息，这的确有些吊诡。

Time to Detox!

After countless meals of 大魚大肉, I decided to have some home-cooked food for lunch today.

Cooking is therapeutic, cooking a new dish is even more so! I felt great after lunch. It's the most detoxifying meal we have had for a long long time!

Papaya Fish Soup

Now, it's time to continue with my challenge for the weekend - detox my wardrobe! Perhaps time to start planning for dinner too? :p

I LOVE Holidays!

We're at the airport now. As usual, we had breakfast at Toastbox. I realised that this has become a "SOP".

I'm quite disappointed that most of the duty free shops are closed. Can't do much shopping but I guess I will have no lack of chance to do so in the next few days.

Expectation for this trip is very low as we are really ill-prepared - no itinerary has been planned YET. Maybe we can do so on the plane but I think more likely than not, I will be ZZZzzzzing as I only managed to sleep for 2 hours. Had to do last minute packing for the first time.

It feels good to be on leave, though this is probably not a very good time to do so. We had to do a conference call till 7.30 pm last night so I guess there will be tonnes of work waiting for me...

Ok, shall look on the bright side. I must treasure this 5 days and make the fullest use of time!
