I realised that I hadn’t uploaded the pics I took on my phone (I didn’t always have my big camera with me when I went out at night and when I was shopping) when I was in Hong Kong, so I did the logical thing and uploaded them.

This is a picture of the duck and pancakes I had in what is generally accepted to be HKs best Shanghaiese restaurant (though I forget the name). I basically got a whole deboned duck that had been roasted then fried in a very delicate and very thin batter. The pancakes that it came with were huge as well, I’d say they might have been double the diameter of the pancakes that you’d get in a UK chinese takeaway. It was so good that I did actually manage to eat the whole lot, although in my defence I had a light lunch because I knew what I was going to be ordering that night.

I also managed to drink a couple of pots of tea in the 20 minutes that I waited for the duck to be ready (good thing I hadn’t ordered a starter!).
