A week of food

Whenever we have guests in town there is always good food to try.  This week we hit some old favorites, and Patrick and I ventured out on our own for Moroccan one evening.

The true standby for anyone's first trip to Asia is Din Tai Fung - a Taiwanese chain known for their dumplings.  Here is a shot of the 'truffle pork dumplings'.

Wednesday night on our way home from work Patrick and I tried a Moroccan restaurant that we have passed many times, but it finally pulled us in.   It was very good.

Friday night was back to Hong Kong Island with Stephanie for Thai at Tuk Tuk Thai.  Then a beer at the Globe.

Curry for everyone.

Saturday afternoon / evening we ventured back to Hong Kong Island for the Lan Kwai Fong Beer and Music Festival with a little larger crowd.

Entrance

Stephanie and Gwen had a snack before meeting up with the crowd (Yes we started a little early).  We had nachos and wings while talking about our friends in Minneapolis.

Evening shot

The day ended with foot massages - every Saturday needs to end with a foot massage.  Here is Stephanie, Chandra and Gwen's toes wrapped in a towel awaiting to be rubbed. 

Sunday found Patrick and I at a local mall to make one purchase (see 2 pictures below), but leaving with a few bags.  While waiting for Patrick, I was watching the ice skating rink (there is one in almost every big mall).  There were at least 7 coaches with from 2-5 students in the picture with free skate happening around them.  We decided the ice was in great need of a Zamboni.

Gwen's purchase for traveling - iPad mini.

Patrick did do some photographing this weekend at the public golf course in Hong Kong.

Patrick heads off to the States next Weekend, and Gwen is off for her world tour on the 24th.   More to come.

Did not realize this did not get posted - so actually Patrick will be touching down in Tokyo in about 45 minutes on his way to the Outer Banks in NC.
