We pounded the pavement pretty mercilessly over the last few days, so today we took some time to rest at home (and do laundry). When dinner time rolled around, though, we sprung back into action by visiting Yung Kee, one of my favorite restaurants...
Serving Cantonese cuisine for nearly 70 years
The extra gooey yolk is highly desired by thousand-year-old egg connoisseurs
...and we all tried it
(even the previous photo's camerawoman)With the eggs out of the way, we got down to the good stuff (well, at least in my opinion ;>)...
Stir-fried sweet pea shoots
Their world-famous roast goose
Succulent roast pork
Fresh shrimp stir-fried with pine nuts
Washed down with steeped chrysanthemum flowers
A meal to remember!After dinner, we worked our way back through Central...
Skirting along the this sidewalks of Wellington Street...until we reached the IFC Mall...
Looking across Victoria Harbour (towards Tsim Sha Tsui) from the IFC Mall promenade 
Hanging out just below 2 IFC, currently the tallest building in Hong Kong (though it will be unseated shortly)IFC was our chosen destination not just for its cityscape sights, but also because tonight saw the opening of James Cameron's Avatar in 3D and we went to the very first showing...
Avatar was magnificent. If you get a chance to see it in 3D, take it!The perfect closing to a battery-recharging day.

Some how seeing that huge snowman in Hong Kong tickled my fancy!
Two posts in one day (for me)...wow...what a treat!
Thank you
1) HAHAHA! I love that picture of Christin chowing down on thousand-year-old-egg. And the verdict was??? :)
2) Glad to hear Avatar was good! The trailers looked interesting...
3) Keep meaning to ask you. Have you guys been watching FlashForward? Bits of this season (and in particular the last episode) seem to have been actually filmed in Hong Kong.
