Yummy Food in Hong Kong

 Vegetable Dumplings

Hong Kong is certainly a food paradise. There is such a wide choice of food available as compared to Singapore.  While on vacation we had the chance to have Dim sum for brunch. The variety of items there were certainly more and were really yummy.

This dish was crispy on the outside and really tasty inside. The kids finished the pancake within minutes after I cut it up into pieces.

I’ll certainly be looking out for the recipe for this dish online so I can replicate it at home 🙂

This dish was really juicy and yummy.  It is not something which I would eat on a regular basis but certainly one that was mouth watering.

Blooms at Hong Kong Wetland Park

Last week I brought the kids to the Hong Kong Wetland Park.  It was a great opportunity for them to get close to nature as we live in a metropolitan city full of high rise buildings.

It was the 2nd time that they have visited the park. The last time we visited the park was 3 years ago when Tiger girl was in Hong Kong for her 1st birthday celebration.

There has been quite a bit of changes in the park since our last visit. There was significantly lesser insects around and we couldn’t spot any birds. I guess that the summer heat of 33 degrees Celsius was keeping the animals away in hiding.

It wasn’t easy to zoom in an take photographs as my trusty DSLR was on holiday with R in N Z. I had to make do with his Sony Cybershot with it’s limited zoom range.

I had to literally place the camera at the flower to get a good close up of it.  We didn’t stay long at the park as it was getting extremely hot by midday and the kids and I decided to call it a day and head back to some air-con comfort.

Have you been to  the park lately?
