Central, Hong Kong - 28th March 2010

By: tarepanda

As Thiele hasn't been to dim sum yet, we take her out today.

We show her how to mark what she wants on the order form.

This is the Hainanese Chicken rice.  It's considered a National dish of Singapore.  The rice is cooked with ginger, garlic and chicken stock to give it a delicious flavor.

More dim sum arrive at the table.  They come served in small dishes or bamboo steamers.

The sesame ball has a creamy custard filling.

I am not sure I like this dish.  It's fish head with soy sauce.  Maybe a bird will like it better.

Afterwards, we take the bus to cross the harbor.

I don't like dark tunnels and tunnels under the water sounds creepy so I am glad we are seeing the light!

Last time we get off at Wan Chai but this time we ride on longer to get to Central district.

Central is the financial district of Hong Kong.  Many multinational financial and trade businesses have their headquarters here.  Here you can see from the left the Bank of China Tower (designed by I. M. Pei and the 4th tallest building in Hong Kong), Cheung Kong Center and HSBC HQ.  The little brown building behind me is the old Bank of China office, which looks really tiny compared to all the shiny new buildings.
