Wednesday, June 18: chicken feet!


On this day...I was fully recovered from the cold.  We tried to go the police museum at the peak, but once again the pouring rain stopped us.  Instead we went to an electronics mall in wan chai (near central Hong kong island side).  I looked for some knockoff ipod accessories but found none.  We took a break at mcdonalds, then we went back to the apartment while judy and gary continued shopping.  Mom had been with us earlier but left -- she had no interest in a crowded maze-like warren of little electronic shops selling stuff for laptops and cell phones and such.  
For dinner we went to Tai Hing roast restaurant, my favorite eating spot in the neighborhood.  A classic HK diner with chinese and western food; nothing fancy.  In fact, you can order things like peanut butter toast if that's all you want, or go and splurge on roast goose, the specialty there.  
The dish of chicken feet above might be from another day, and I certainly didn't eat it!  I tried it once; it's like gnawing on cartilage.
