More of Day 2 in Hong Kong

I had decided early on that this trip would be more of a foodie rather than shopping trip. Why? Gadgets are expensive.

Here we are in Agave, LKF, before dinner.


For dinner, I suggested my favorite restaurant in Hong Kong, the Nepal Restaurant, located on Staunton Street, Mid Levels. As you come up the mid level escalator, turn right as you hit Staunton street.

Bhim, the manager is still there and he looks more 'prosperous' these days. The dinner party was Kerry, John, Herman, and I. Kim just finished at the gym and would join up later.

I ordered the following:
Starter
BHENTA TAREKO
Fried Eggplant marinated with fresh Nepali Herbs

ALOO CHOP
Nepali Potato Pancake marinated in fresh Nepalese Herbs and fried

Mains
PANEER LALI GURASH
Home-Made Cottage Cheese cubes cooked in Butter, fresh Tomato sauce, Honey,
Cream and garnished with fresh Coriander

ALOO KAULI
A dry preparation of Cauliflower & Potato cooked with chopped Onion,
Tomato and fresh ground Spices, garnished with Coriander

ROYAL KHASI
Boneless Lamb slices cooked in Almond based Gravy

KUKHURA-KO SEKUWA
Barbecued Boneless Chicken marinated in fresh light Nepalese Herbs & Spices

I don't know if this is what people really eat in Nepal, but we ate well. The food here is still excellent. The others have never eaten here before and they were suitably impressed. John was raving about the flavour in the veggie dish.

After dinner, someone mentioned that there was a Krispy Kreme donut shop nearby.

There has been a fair amount of hype about these donuts and since they're not available in Malaysia, the dessert pocket of my stomach made a little more space and we headed there for donuts.
Yeah, they're good donuts. :)
Only regret was that we weren't there as they were coming out hot off the machine.


Here's a shot of us in the store.
