Isn't this just what you expect to be hanging in a window in Hong Kong? But it's a lot cleaner than I expected. I'd actually eat here. (You know my issues: Food. Cleanliness. Coming together as one...) Everywhere we looked, there were a million places to eat. Do these people ever cook at home? I guess not. Like NYC, no one has room. or time. The dim sum was spectacular. The baked goods were heavenly. (That fabulous British heritage of delicate frosted cakes and crumbly buttery gorgeous things lives on here in the ex-colony.) The delicacies we spied in shops, at the malls, even in the airports ran the gamut from quaint old world goodies like smoked meats shown here, to fully prepared meals for takeout, packaged in beautifully designed, bright graphic containers boasting spectacular french, america and indian goodies. These people know how to eat.
