I flew back to Hong Kong to celebrate my grandma’s 90th birthday. So, it is a given that I miss her a lot. That week, I managed to catch up with my relos living in HK, as well as my uncle from the US. Now that I’m back in Australia, I don’t get to see them for a while (though they really should get with the times and learn to use Skype or something…) and so I guess I miss them too.

Anyway, Hong Kong is substantially different from Sydney, or Australia for that matter. Spending just a tad over a week there made me realise how much I miss about some things. Whilst I must say that living in Sydney isn’t really that bad, there are some seriously great stuff that I’m missing out on not living in HK. In no particular order, here’s my list of top things that I miss about HK:

Go and try it if you can, because I think all of us really enjoyed our food!

We went to try out this restaurant about 3 months ago. I think it was in ‘celebration’ of our 2 years of being together. We were looking for restaurants around Darling Harbour when I saw that there was a new place in the 2007-2008 entertainment book called Ice Cube. After some hesitation (reading some of those eatability reviews) we decided to go ahead and try it. Very very filling if you ask me…

While I’m on a roll, I’ll talk about the time we went to Kingsleys. Kingsleys is a restaurant renowned for its steaks. Its meat has won competitions from like the Easter show and places like that; so you can guess that the meat would be very expensive, but very very nice. Now there are a few Kingsleys restaurants in Sydney CBD, but we decided to go to the King St. Wharf one. Perhaps there would be a nicer view with some more seafood choices for those of us who were not as carnivorous as the others.
