yeah, food lovers!!

cara, would you miss the seafood in Sai Kung if one day you would leave hong kong?

 

[carang]

see, this is the problem i have.

i've been here for so long, that when i'm here, i think of canada as home. but when i'm there, i think of hk as home...

i don't really feel like i fit anywhere!

what i would miss about hk food:
dumplings
dim sum
seafood
GOOD S & S pork
GOOD thai food
dried/sugared coconut @ chinese new year
hui lau shan (sago drinks)
siu yuk (crispy skinned roast pork)
pee-ing shrimp (lai liu ha) preferably cooked with garlic, black bean & chili
hot pot (although no reason that i couldn't have that at home in canada)...
korean bbq

and my FAVOURITE fruit!!!

RAMBUTANS!

 

[Little Monster]

Happy Mother's Day to you.

reading all this has made me homesick AND hungry!

i was in aus for a short time during uni and can commiserate all the above...

 

[Buckeroo]

I had fun reading through all your lists. It made me wistful... not really homesick, though, as I've been here over 10 years that it is home. For now, anyway.

What I do miss very much, though, --

1) Family - my folks (although they do visit HK often) and also cousins that my kids play and can grow up with
2) Great radio stations in English --be it for music or news
3) Cheap, yummy food
4) Mountain Dew

i've been here for so long, that when i'm here, i think of canada as home. but when i'm there, i think of hk as home...

i don't really feel like i fit anywhere!

Haha, Cara --I feel that way, too, sometimes!

Happy Mother's Day, everyone!

 

[carang]

mountain dew... try citysuper or gateway... they both have it sometimes.

ps> did you know there is more caffiene in that than in regular coke?!?!

Not to make anyone jealous or anything, but I`m going for holidays in Canada in less than 2 weeks (and counting the days!).
Can`t wait to eat REAL PIZZA.
Drink AWESOME BEER (ok, take sips bc I`m BFing)
Eat PUB FOOD
Eat my mom`s BREADED VEAL CUTLET

Aside from food (which will not make my baby fat imrove at all), I am excited to
-Show my husband all things western and Canadian since he`s never been to a western country before
-See the look on my 92 year old Grandmother when she holds my 4 month old son for the first time
-be around my family and friends who will marvel at my baby for the very short time they are able to visit with him.

I actually do like HK a lot but I haven`t been home for 2 years and so I really can`t wait and will try to overlook the trip there for 15 hours with a baby on my lap!
