Travel Journal: Hongkong, Jan 13, 2010

I wandered some more around Kowloon sidestreets in and around Nathan Road. Bought a box of Chinese pastries - hopia. As I wound myself back to the ship, I passed through Star City again, almost bought several exquisite Chinese ceramics (pass!) and eventually bought a (chipped) tea cup with a built-in strainer, a blue and white commercial-grade thing. Then, not feeling hungry at all, but being a foodie, I went up to the 4th floor to the Jade Garden restaurant for some dimsum. As I was seated on the linened table, it struck me suddenly: this was the dimsum restaurant that I had visited in 1975 during the Yamaha Festival. It was just down the road from the Sheraton, and they used to have pushcarts before. Now, everything is ordered a la carte. The shrimp siomai. the beef siopao, the shark's fin soup and the long, slender spring rolls were delicious. I went back to the ship, sated and several dollars poorer but richer and happier.
