A tasty Macau joint!

Katherine and I were back in Causeway Bay for a little shopping on Monday evening and decided to try a Macanese restaurant that we had recently noticed...

It was mighty good (although perhaps not as good as the restaurants we tried when we were actually in Macau with Carson). Let's see what we shared...

Curry soup noodles with fish slices, potato, and bean sprouts

Water spinach stir-fried with garlic, chilies, dried shrimp, and shrimp paste

Roasted pork neck with sweet-and-sour sauce and crispy potato wedges

After dinner we took care of our shopping and ran into a new Japanese taiyaki snack shop just outside Times Square..

Taiyaki are basically fish-shaped waffles that have various fillings. (We tried apple-custard-cinnamon, chocolate-banana, and red bean.) Here's what they look like coming off the griddles...

So cute and yummy! They left us a little parched, though, so once we had our fill of taiyaki it was time to wash it all down with a nice cup of tea...

Tip me over and pour me out!

That Macanese restaurant looks great, although the egg tarts look very odd and puffy!

As for the taiyaki: cute!!! I want to eat waffles shaped like fish! (but not tasting like fish...)

And I love the expression on the face of the woman who's watching you pour yourself out of the teacup. She almost seems to be thinking "I want to do that..."
