On a Cold and Rainy Day

Waking up to a cold and rainy day, and getting rained on, on the ride in, I decided this called for a nice hot breakfast. Too bad, we walloped the soy bean drink and you tiao brekkie I got on the way in, before pics could be taken! *burp* You are welcome to turn a brighter shade of green, as the you tiao was fresh, crunchy yet chewy, and the soy bean drink was hot and sweet. A perfect combination, washed down by a hot cup of teh c!

For lunch, someone had suggested going for the daily soup at Asia Grand Restaurant. Formerly "Tsui Hang Village Restaurant" at Asia Hotel (now sadly demolished to make way for some spanking new building or other), they have now re-opened in the Odeon Towers, where Chef Chan's restaurant used to stand. Check out the multi-coloured starters, which had little chunks of fish cake, making it an interesting mix of sweet, sour, and savoury.

The succulent and soft steamed pork ribs. In the background, we had already polished off three of the shao mai (juicy without tasting full of fatty pork), leaving a lonely one standing, trembling with fear of being the next victim...

Our daily soup, being dished out by the very attentive service staff. Steaming hot dried veggie and pork soup. Tasty without the MSG. What more could one ask for?

See how thick the soup was?? Nothing like some warm liquid sloshing about in your belly on a cold and rainy day! Satisfying!
