After school I took the ferry, as I do quite often. The class rooms are brutally air-conditioned so I have to have some fresh air after leaving the building, nothing better for that than a boat trip!
For lunch I had a Taiwanese meal in the food court of one of the malls in TST, I don't remember the name. It was fried chicken, minced beef rice and iron bitter egg. The last part sounded very strange but was actually very good. I think this was one of the eggs cooked in black tea which are quite popular in HK.
Next stop was the Kowloon Park, a surprisingly huge park area in one of the most buzzing part of HK. Located very central like Central Park in NYC, but not as natural as the Central Park.
Inside the park is the Avenue of HK Comic Stars. Not really exciting..
Then to the east side of TST, next to the Historical and Science Museums, where the waterfront promenade starts.
There I felt a littly hungry once more. Went into one of the hotels and had a Blue Mountain coffee and some fancy desserts. The left one is a green tea panacotta, the right one is a Japanese lemon cream cake. Was quite good, but didn't meet my very high expectations...same for the coffee.
On the return ferry trip we were delayed by a giant cruise ship which left the cruise terminal. It was the Costa Victoria.
Even the Star Ferry boat had to wait, after the cruise ship blew the horn. Usually the Star Ferry doesn't stop for anything, this time was different.
Eventually I became hungry once more :-) In a HK magazine I had read about a newly opened San Francisco Mission District-sytle Burrito restaurant. So for a change I bought a burrito and had a Mexican dinner. It was pretty huge and very good. Not exactly the taste I remember from S.F. but very close. Especially the pulled pork meat and the lime-flavoured rice were a perfect combination.
