再見 香港 - Goodbye Hong Kong!

After two relaxing days in this amazing city, we are now heading back from Hong Kong to Incheon...


A display in one of the MTR passages, and that has important financial lessons...


The BMW ahead of us has a license plate "THE CEO"...


And there it goes...


We chase the CEO through the streets of Central...


These vanity license plates are quite a rage in Hong Kong and are often auctioned off to the highest bidder after a wait period, which could be incredibly long!



Checking out the 1881 Heritage in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon...


The 1881 Heritage was the headquarters of the Hong Kong Marine Police from 1884 to 1996. The site has since been restored and besides several buildings and artefacts of historical interest that have been preserved and restored, and the site also features a shopping mall, a heritage hotel and an exhibition hall...


The 1881 Heritage is a combination of Victorian colonial and neo-classical architectural designs...


At the airport and ready to depart, I must say, it's always a treat to visit Hong Kong!

The Culinary Pilgrimage...

We're in Hong Kong, we love being here for many, many reasons. The vibe and energy of Hong Kong is instantly energizing. The frenetic pace of the city reminds me that no matter what, life has a purpose...
And today we had a purpose, a larger than life, an irresistible urge, at least for the moment to visit Din Tai Fung again. And we made a dash for the MTR to head to Causeway Bay...


Water spinach with garlic...


Waiting for our xiaolongbaos...
Don't get me wrong - I was so hungry that when xiaolongbaos finally came I gulped them down without even taking a pic...


And Din Tai Fung is quite my idea of an ideal Michelin-starred restaurant - simple yet flavourful, focused and unpretentious...



The story of Din Tai Fung...


And thankfully, there was no kimchi today!

And the prophecy for a delectable 2017 seems to be coming true, the juggernaut rolls on with this culinary pilgrimage...

Hong Kong, Here We Come!



Today we are heading out to Hong Kong to meet and bless our new born nephew...

And as we left Songdo, the sun was setting on Incheon, making for a wonderful view...


This will be a short trip to Hong Kong - we will be leaving Hong Kong on Sunday night to get back to Incheon on Monday morning. And we will be travelling on Korean Air Boeing 747-8i - the newest version of the Jumbo Jet! This is my third flight on the Boeing 747-8i and is Neeti's first and are eagerly waiting for that!

Hong Kong, here we come!
