Day 6 Last Day in Hong Kong *sniff*

Last day in Hong Kong and nearing the end of our "Asia Summer 2011" trip...so sad...I definitely hope to be back soon (no more waiting 10 years between trips back to Hong Kong hopefully haha)...

So interesting, seafood in a bottle!! I wonder what the reasoning is behind doing this...??

Our last dinner in Hong Kong was at some "Spicy Crab Under the Bridge" type place referred to us by our pal Conor :) We saw a few restaurant in the area he sent us to, and after surveying the menus outside, we decided to go with this one...they all had loads of seafood selections and looked delicious from the menus, so we figured we really couldn't go wrong with our choice.

One thing I had been craving and had not found until now, was Lobster with Cheesey Sauce. I left Hong Kong when I was still quite young, so my memory of food, places, etc is quite spotty at best. However, one thing I DID remember and still think of quite a bit (being the little fatty that I am I suppose haha), is this Cantonese Lobster dish with a cheesey cream sauce. I remember when I first had it with my Dad and a friend of ours, I was totally blown away as Chinese cooking does not usually involve much cream or milk-based products...I can only recall coming across/having this dish in the U.S. only a handful of times at most...I even went around Toronto looking for it in their vast number of authentic Hong Kong Chinese restaurants and was not able to find it :(

But alas...this is the famous dish!!! We had it with Calamari instead, so yeah, Calamari with Cheese Sauce--and it was every bit as delicious as I had remembered or dreamed it up to be in my head :)

Fried Chicken Wings--looks and sounds so simple but was fried and seasoned perfectly!

Seafood Rice Soup--this was super hearty and was really like a stew meal in itself LOL...

Sweet & Sour Pork Chops--no, not like the kind you get at the Chinese places (where no Chinese people are dining at haha)...it's flavored differently and has a taste of honey to it
