To Tokyo And My Shopping (2011-02-07)
Waiting to board our flight home
At the airport dutyfree shop, bought a pair of XO sauce
Meal
Unknown dessert
Soba was contaminated with the wad of wasabi in the middle
The beef was TERRIBLE, it had that gamy taste of lamb, yuck!
C offered to swap her chicken with me, she's so kind
Whole clove of fried garlic in the sauce
Got Shiseido skin care products (special sale and paying in cash make it a lot cheaper than buying in Tokyo)
Shopping from Hong Kong was all about food of course, and much of it from wet markets
Choi sum
Chinese broccoli
Baby bak choi
Fresh straw mushrooms
Also bought some fresh water chestnuts and a green carrot
The loaf of bread was squashed during storage in Kowloon Hotel (but still edible)
BBQ pork and fish stick
Snuck in fruit too
Huge orange but disappointingly tart
It had a large baby orange inside
Gauva
Longan
Chinese cured meat
Salted duck gizzard
Food from supermarkets and wet markets
Thousand-year-old eggs
More food
A lot of it was for friends
My absolute favorite food from Kee Wah and Koi Kei
Of course there are the usual dental floss and rice
The only non-food item I bought: tiger pencil case
for Efoo of course
He doesn't like it much though
