Breakfast

Finally tried the Starbucks "Via" instant coffee, which was actually pretty good - certainly the best instant coffee I've ever had.

Special K Red Berries for food.

Monday Lunch

New Asia Noodle Club:

Beef Noodles - apparently the large comes in the same size bowl as the regular, but they fill it so full of noodles that they have to put the beef on a plate on the side. The beef was delicious (marinated), but marbled with gristle. It was cooked so tender that the gristle was very soft, but I still couldn't eat very much of it :-P

Sunday Dinner

Macanese restaurant in TST:

"Special Macanese Fried Turnip Cakes" - unlike many things that are described as "Special [ethnicity] ___" on Chinese menus, these turnip cakes were actually quite different from any I had had before, stir-fried with cabbage and slightly-hot peppers - delicious!

I also had a drink that seemed to be soda water with lemon and tangerine syrup with a slice of lemon and little pieces of candied tangerine.

Dinner

One of my students (Low) invited us for a big Dragon Boat Festival dinner at his family's newly-opened restaurant. Lots of pictures uploaded at http://gallery.me.com/bgw1114/101693 (scroll down to near the bottom).

Western Breakfast on Air China

Eggs, carrots, tomato, broccoli, and potatoes. Potatoes were almost
flavorless, but they were pressed into smiley faces!
