Dumplings and Buns


We must have eaten our weight in buns and dumplings while in Hong Kong.  We found a vendor near our hotel and more often than not, her buns & dumplings were our breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  We did mange to get to a 3-starred Michelin dumpling restaurant— it was also dim sum.  We were adventurous there: we ordered the chicken feet.  I thought that they would come in bun form….  


They did not.  They looked like chicken feet.  I managed to eat one, barely.  Will ate the other three.  At one point, he spat out a toe bone and/or toe nail.  The flavor was good, don’t get me wrong, it was just the look of the things.  For the rest of the day, Will has chicken feet jiggling in his belly….


I was happy just sticking to the standard dumplings we found on the street and washing them down with Mango Juice— why isn’t that available here??  It is so good!!  Sticks for forks, mini packets of soy sauce, meat and veg buns: delicious!
