a quick note on food.

NOOOOOOO FOODDDDDDD!!!

and that two words pretty much covers my state.

Been surviving on calabee hot and spicy chips (we run through them at alarming rates) and X packets of instant noodles (which I figured is what you get when you dine out in HK cafes anyway. Only with a piece of meat - i would not eat, and more oil and salt and cost more).

It's a myth that HK has good food. Good. If you're a tourist and have $$$ and since time=$$... More $$$ Not for struggling full time students who have no time to travel or $$ to spare.

Imagine for a plate of fried INSTANT NOODLEs. you pay 48HKD. Yes. that's about $8.20. Exactly. We're not even talking about dim sum.

And each of that nice dessert (which are hard to find, unless you hunt down the famous ones which will take like avg 45 mins travelling time to GET THERE alone). cost avg: $35 HKD. about $6.75.

I miss laksa. Hainanese Chicken Rice (I had this suedo thai version here, cost like about $12 SGD and SUCKS). Tofu. VEGETABLE. chili and that nice Fish and Chips... and proper Curry!!
