So, I actually just made a shitton of careless errors on my exams. Makes me feel better than if I didn't know anything at all. Lack of homework and laidback lectures doesn't mean I don't need to study. I just need to study a little ;)
My favourite meal of the day has to be breakfast. I've always been a sucker for breakfast foods even at home. Maybe because I grew up having sandwiches for breakfast all the time. Not that it was bad, but just having a peanut butter sandwich everday for all your life doesn't really cut it compared to this.
I love McDonalds. That is something I never thought I would say. But seriously the McD's here is absolutely amazing. The shake shake fries, shake shake chicken, and taro pie just blow my mind. This was my breakfast one day last week. A bowl of macaroni with veg, a ham sausage, and an egg. Comes with a hash brown that is delicious with Thai chili sauce and a cold milk tea. All for the low price of $18HKD.
Yesterday I went to Tuen Mun with some classmates. I saw them making baw law bao. It was wayyy too cool. There was a bakery with a window of the kitchen and I literally stood outside the window watching the guy make it with my mouth wide open.
Here he is cutting the topping
He then smashes it with the knife
Then the magic layer goes on top of the bun!
After that, we stopped and had some dau fu fa. I ended up putting a big scoop of salt in it because I couldn't read the Chinese words on the box.
This is an picture after I quickly scooped up the salt. The sugar is orange sugar and absolutely delicious.
Salt Box.
Moral of lesson. Learn Chinese.
Tuen Mun is a beautiful place. I hope that someday I can come to HK to live. People seem to have such good lives here. On the weekends they go for walks, and there are places like this all over HK.
I've seen these around asia but never tried them before. I thought they were for foot massages but little did I know just how painful they were. Apparently if its painful it means that you are unhealthy. I guess that means I am going to drop dead soon cos I could barely walk on this thing.
Here is a picture you will rarely see at home. Four happy and carefree engineers.
I love Hong Kong.
