An Indonesian dinner...

Okay - so, in my last post, I proudly reported the lack of food coverage this week. A day later, I have caved. It was inevitable, I suppose. ;>

Katherine and I went to Causeway Bay yesterday for a few hours of furniture shopping (though we don't have everything finalized just yet, we believe we have found a new permanent place to live and expect to move there in under a week). Afterwards, we visited an excellent Indonesian place called "Padang"...


The interior. It's popular. :>


Gado-gado (a traditional Indonesian salad with
cooked veggies, peanut sauce, and fried shrimp chips)


Indonesian roti (flat bread)


Gudeg ayam (jackfruit with chicken and eggs in a coconut sauce)

I'm not sure that the pictures make everything look yummy, but it very much was! Following our meal, we engaged in something very key to Hong Kong culture: the late-night snack! Nearby, just outside Times Square (a huge shopping mall in Causeway Bay), we stopped by a favorite snack stall and picked up two small things...




Curry fish balls!



"Little Chicken Eggs"
(a delicious waffle-like treat that has a hint of coconut flavor)

Yum!

As for the fish balls... in curry sauce, they might actually be yummy ;)
