Thanksgiving in HK




Lunch at JW Marriott The poolside grill, where you can get a corndog. First fitting at Maxwell Clothiers, in Tsim Sha Tsui. Tried to go to Aqua, Felix, Hutong, Spoon, all closed until 6PM. Had a drink at the Intercontinenal, where we found Kopi Luwak on the drink menu. Dinner at North Point Market, where Robbie guided us thru fried prawns, stir fried vegetables with taro, pignoli, fermented soybeans, basil; fried chicken with a special sauce; steamed grouper with ginger, fried rice served in a lotus leaf. Wow. Dessert was a local treat: steamed milk, steamed milk with ginger. Kind of like a hot ice cream. Jehan had a Vietnamese condensed milk taro bubble milk tea thing. Milk foam on top. Not so good. Final stop was at Opia, the bar/restaurant adjacent to the hotel. Empty.
