A homecooked meal in Hong Kong! What a treat! While there are TONS of food right outside, sometimes I do miss homecooking, and it was nice to have one night where we ate at home than to go out and eat, because there is a lot of msg when you go out. Living space is so small in Hong Kong, including the kitchen, that everything is made to "fit," and what I mean is that even the refrigerator is small! It's like the size of my "mini" fridge that I had when I lived in the dorms. People don't need a lot of refrigerator space because they can go buy groceries daily. A lot of things are fresh, and there are so many options. You don't have to play your meal days in advanced, just walk right out to the farmers market and see what's available that day. That's it, and that's what we did that day after being out all morning and afternoon.
Eel - pre-cooked
it was still beating....fresh! haha
Eel - after being steamed
tasty, and i don't even like black bean sauce
Soup - forgot what veggie we used
Scooped out the Veggie and Pork from the Soup
Steamed Minced Pork and Salted Duck Egg
this was my favorite!!! i normally only eat half a bowl of rice, and because of this dish i ate another bowl. yup. it was tastyy. savory. salty, and i loved the salted egg
Steamed Chinese Sausage
had a very nice rice wine flavor to it
Stir Fry Bean Sprouts & Chive Flower
Can you believe that all these dishes were cooked with only two burners, and a kitchen that's smaller than my dorm room at UCLA? yup!
