TRAVEL NOTES

Some people have asked for information on travel itineraries and recommendations for lodging and attractions. I can only share my experiences and the notes from friends but here are my travel notes from places I have been and hope to visit. I will continue to update!

Lei Yue Mun - Seafood Lunch

Last Sunday we went to Lei Yue Mun for a seafood lunch. From HK Island, we had to take a shirt ferry ride. Check this boat out! 



It was T1 signal at this time which means a typhoon is 400-800km away from Hong Kong but we checked and it was not headed towards us so no need to ruin our plans.
Look at those blue skies! The grey clouds were in the other direction.




First we went to a open fish market and pick the fresh seafood that we want them to cook and we tell them how we want it prepared. You still end up being surprised by what is meant by "Hong Kong style" so you better be pretty adventurous. They also end up throwing in "free" dishes too...


The star fish at this one place were huge!


Here is the group checking out the pictures on the wall to decide what we wanted. My favorite are the scallops which he opened right in front of us.
 


This is the restaurant we ate at. It was the longest walk and at the end of the market but it meant it had a good view of the water.

Here is some of our food... I didn't take very good food pics cause I was busy eating.


My most favorite... scallops with garlic and noodles.

Okay, I'm back

So I took some time off from posting on my blog. While home in August a few people asked me about it. 

Honestly, a major reason for keeping this blog is for my grandmother to keep up with my life and travels. She had the same wander-full spirit and was always sharing pictures of her travel experiences with me. When I left the US 2.5 years ago, she was the one it was hardest to say goodbye to knowing that each goodbye may be the last.

Sadly, in May 2017, my grandmother passed away and the youthful age of 96. While it was her time, my heart still hurts. I cherish every moment that we had together and think of her every day.

And she would want me to continue to document my travels.... so I do this for her.
