There was lamb, pork, 18 kinds of beef, chicken, salmon, white fish, crab, mushrooms, egg plant, tofu, squid, and then there were spicy or marinated versions of each. I have never seen so much raw meat all for the taking before. You get your plate, then bring it back to the table to grill. Well, I guess the secret's out, because there were 7000 million people there and a line out the door and down the escalator. It was in Mong Kok which is the busiest area of Hong Kong. I believe the restaurant was called Han Wo. Oh, and if dinner wasn't enough, there were amazing pancakey things, a sweet tofu dessert, and ice cream! Good ice cream too!! Needless to say, I woke up this morning and went for a 5 mile run!
Weird things about Hong Kong, or maybe I should say Asia. Paul and I were going to the beach the other day so we went to buy some sunblock, you know, like SPF 15 or 30. Here's what the store had; tanning oil OR SPF 150++. No joke. I didn't know it went that high, but those are your choices. Why is it that the dark want to get lighter and the light want to get darker??
Another random tidbit. This is a mystery that has been bothering me for 3 months. In India (and Indians here and all over) the older men, and some women, have this fluorescent orange hair. It's bizarre. My theory was that they bought cheap hair dye and it turned orange in the sun, but after 4 million people did that, wouldn't you learn? Well, apparently I wasn't too far off. I googled it the other day and discovered that as men and women get older they don't want to go grey but they don't have the money for expensive hair dye. So what do they do? They use henna. Weird. I think I'd rather stay grey.
Off to get Paul from work and meet Neel for some sightseeing! Yey to Saturdays and not spending a day alone job hunting!
