Fruit!

We just had a delicious meal at one of our now-favorite restaurants: "BBQ". It's about a block away from where we live and serves tons of fresh seafood, meats, and veggies hot off the grill. I don't have a digital camera yet, so I didn't get to take any pictures, but rest assured that's coming one day soon (and once it does, the flood gates of food pictures will be unleashed). Tonight we wolfed down congee with thousand-year-old egg, octopus, scallops, sea snails, chicken wings, chicken thigh, fish balls, mushrooms, choy sum, fish cakes, white eel...and a little bit of Fanta. One of the more expensive meals we've had in Hong Kong, but it was still only about US$13 per person. (An outstanding full rack of lamb with fresh mint jelly, which we tried on a previous visit, is only US$15.) When you come visit us, this is a place you will definitely experience.

Anyway, let's move on to the actual focus of this post! ;>

On our way home, we stopped at a fruit shop (one of the many shop categories that Hong Kong supports) and picked up...

...some lovely goodies. Three pears, a papaya (from Hawaii ;>), three passion fruit, two star fruit, and a pound of Bing cherries. All for about US$5. Not too shabby.

Not all fruit is cheap, though: A few nights prior, we picked up some Rainier cherries (these happened to be from Australia) for about US$12.50 per pound. We'll go for those less often, though we really love them. ;>
