And also this resto at the end of Shueng Wan (i forgot the name)- where they serve THE best shark's fin soup! :) I wonder though if Movenpick at the Peak is still open - they serve the best (for me ah!) buffet!! :)Didihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13966608246374142055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448190.post-62254714266051518522007-11-26T22:56:00.000+08:002007-11-26T22:56:00.000+08:00Hay naku Joey, how I cherish my memories in Hong k...Hay naku Joey, how I cherish my memories in Hong kong.

Anyhoo, I don't know if there is any connection with our local Maxim's, aside from the fact that they both serve dim sum :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Dhanggit! I agree...It's so fun to see the people you love flourish in a new environment :) Hong Kong has a lot to offer food-wise I think...Glad you are enjoying the posts and I hope your husband does too :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Wysgal! Or go to Maxim's late, like we did, so it was easy for us to get a table :) I think Hong Kong would definitely be a very exciting place to work! So much energy...just like you...a good match! :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Katrina! My waist is definitely feeling the hit from these past two trips! But good food is always worth it in my book :) Thanks Katrina...I'm happy to know that you are enjoying my babbling!<BR/><BR/>Hi P!
