safari

I found all sorts of interesting animals today... on my plate! Ate lunch at a local restaurant on the waterfront in Sai Kung where the fishermen sell seafood right off their tiny row boats. The specials of the day were spikey crab that you're supposed to crack in your mouth - ouch!, prawns with eyeballs, lobster ruined with cheese, and a green vegetable that looks like freaky spinach drowned in oil and fish sauce, which is simply called "vegetable."

Much to my relief, dinner was a yummy Japanese vegetarian meal with geometrically shaped green veggies :) I stocked up on cubes of spinach and organic fruit juices at the supermarket because lunch was far too much animal meat for me in one day!

Up above is a photo of the local fruit/veggie stands, with the stinky "durian" fruit in the foreground. It's known for its pungent odor, but supposedly it's tasty enough to turn into ice cream. I'll stick with mango gelato, thank you.



On a totally different note, I think I finally found the Hong Kong Flower (for my tattoo!)
