Hong Kong Calling (Take Two)


Ok this is weird. My HK post yesterday is missing from my files. Blame it on blogger because I honestly don’t know where it went. *Sigh, Blogger, what happened?!?!*
Ugh. Anyway as I was saying yesterday, I nearly got left by the plane to Hong Kong because I had woken up late and couldn’t make it in time for check-in. I got to the counter late and the flight was already closed! But the airline supervisor magically appeared (like a genie in a bottle haha) and I was allowed to check- in 🙂 The nasty part was during immigration (thanks for the correction earlier– I was really too sleepy last night to bother checking what I typed out). There was this diminutive old lady who basically reprimanded me for being late, while allowing herself a lot of time to stamp my passport *slooooow*. 
I was able to jump on the flight with Daphne and thankfully, we made it to Hong Kong 🙂 Yesterday was a fruitful one which ended with a meeting at the beautiful Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong. (Mandarin Oriental is a historic hotel in Hong Kong, as it was the very first hotel erected in Hong Kong Island in 1963. I highly recommend the hotel after having stayed here)!
Daphne and I ended at the Cantopop restaurant opening
Cantopop is located at the G/F The L-Place 139 Queen’s Road Central. Tel: (852) 2857- 2608
with Tim of Ogilvy & Mather and Geoff of Mandarin Oriental HK, along with the brilliant editors of Luxe City Guide (I have 2 of their pocket guides– VERY handy!)

Oh last night’s lost blog post also included photos of our dinner at Yung Kee. So let me repost 🙂 Can’t resist roasted goose (although we’re all ducked- out now hahaha. Duck overload!!)
Swimming in fat oil *hahaha* but oh- so- good

Char Sieu. So pleasantly good. We were going to have suckling pig but Yung Kee ran out!
Hong Kong is arguably the best city in the world to enjoy food. Last night was proof!
Will blog again in a bit *or maybe tomorrow since I’m so sleepy already* about how our day went today 🙂
