Days 9, 10, & 11: Mega Expo, Japanese buffet, Adrienne leaves :(

Day 9: 14th Hong Kong Mega Expo (第14屆香港冬日美食節)

The Mega Expo included an entire exhibition hall of food, and another exhibition hall filled with food, home appliances, cars, toys, and everything you can imagine! Of course, the food exhibition hall was the busiest. I ended up spending around $120 HKD (~$22USD) just trying a bunch of different foods :D Other than that, I also bought some socks (they're super cute) and they were a total steal at $10HKD a pair.

From the 長洲平記 booth (a famous vendor in Cheung Chau Island of HK) Mango mochi (芒果糯米糍)- It has a slice of sweet mango inside the chewy mochi exterior. This was Adrienne's favorite and she ending up buying another one after finishing the first one. (1 for $12HKD)

Back to the Australian Dairy Company for dinner!

This time around, all of us also had the hot steamed milk pudding-like dessert (燉鮮奶). The consistency is like a silky custard, and it's a definite favorite from this cha chan teng.

I have a slight obsession with cha chan teng's macaroni, so I had another bowl... (I didn't take photos, but I had macaroni for breakfast for my last few days in HK as well)

Day 10: Coco Ichibanya lunch, Deluxe Daikiya dinner, 3D Pulse Light Show

I didn't learn of Coco Curry until my favorite Youtubers, Simon and Martina, mention about the Japanese curry restaurant chain. They always rave about the amazing food there, so I thought I would try it in Hong Kong. Apparently, there was a location nearby, so all of us went for lunch. I ordered the tonkatsu (pork cutlet) and vegetable curry with less rice and medium spicy. It was so good (and spicy)!

Went to Deluxe Daikiya for their dinner buffet and we ate soooooo much. Here's a photo after our meal.

The 3D Pulse Light show was pretty cool by using this wall on the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade to project a short and simple light show. The show was a short story about an elf that wanted to perform in Santa's talent show. Lucky(?) for me, the 8:45pm show ended up being in Cantonese so I had to translate the story in real-time for Adrienne.

Yes. Hong Kong has its own version of Big Ben. That's British colonialism for ya

Day 11: Adrienne leaves Hong Kong

It was the end of Adrienne's 11 days (well, longer if you count our 19+ hour flights) in Hong Kong! All of us had a great time, and my family enjoyed meeting and talking to her :)
