a hong kong interlude

Walking up and down the small streets not far off busy Nathan Road, I was pelted with icy rain from all directions. I was not dressed for the weather, on my feet were a pair of flimsy flats that quickly absorbed the muddy water. The pair of jeans I wore was slightly longer and was dragging on said muddy water. I repeat, I was not dressed for the weather.

I'm one of those people who buy souvenirs at the airport. I tend to not spend any time during my holiday looking for the dreaded souvenirs, it's a burden, I tell you. I just go through a mad rush in the airport instead.

I usually buy food as gifts. When I go through Singapore, my sister asked for the Famous Amos cookies. When in Melbourne, Krispy Kreme (it's quite sad that Perth does not have one yet). And so on, and so on.

pak loh chiu chow express noodle with pork ball in soup

Although I have been eating non-stop during my flight from one continent to another, I was still hungry as I touched down in Hong Kong. I think it's because the meals in the plane, eventhough they were frequent, they're not very big portion-wise. This was my quest in search of my next meal.

That's when I stumbled upon Pak Loh Chiu Chow Express. I queued up, which didn't take me that long to get to the front, and ordered the noodle with pork ball in soup. I ordered it because the dish on the picture menu looked mild but appetising, just the right thing for my upset but hungry stomach.
