Red Lantern at HKG

It was my birthday, so after a long meeting, my coworkers and I headed over to Hong Kong airport (yep, HKG is awesome with tons of shops and restaurants, I'd be perfectly fine just hanging out there) and had a terrific meal at Red Lantern, a Malaysian restaurant. We started out with baby bean shoots. Perfectly cooked and seasoned... good start.

Since it was my b-day, we had to have noodles for longevity. Look at all the goodies in there -- mussels, fishballs, egg, squid, shrimp, crabmeat, tofu... mmmm... how come everything in Asia taste so good?

Giant prawns with almond flakes... I am not a huge almond fan, but these flakes were delish.

Chili pepper crab... very good again.

Since I was wolfing down the food, my coworkers got two more dishes just in case I was still hungry.

Softshell crabs... reminded me of my time in Maryland, where we had lots of softshell blue crabs.

Aftermath of Tornado Cat! This is after the waitress changed my plates like five times. I've no idea how I ended up with three pairs of chopsticks. *Blush*

Nighty night from Hong Kong

Victoria Harbor at night...

Safe Driving in Hong Kong

It's been hot and rainy here in Hong Kong. After our meeting yesterday, we caught a taxi amidst a downpour. As the driver drove off, we noticed something odd... why does he have four cells phone in front of him? And it turned out his taxi also serves as the dispatch center for the taxi company. So he was constantly manning calls throughout the thirty minute ride, while driving in a downpour! Thank goodness I have nine lives.

Ponies and Bento

I am writing this post from Hong Kong where it is grey and rainy... but my hotel has like the best view. Anyhoo, I went to the Will Rogers Park this past weekend and thought I'd share some pics with you :-) Beautiful grounds...

Polo match... this is rare as it is the only polo club in Los Angeles...

Ponies up close... I petted the one in the middle, then I promptly wiped my hand on C's shirt, hehe... yeah, that wasn't nice. Bowing head in shame. But, what is a princess to do :-P

I made these bento boxes. Do you like them? Apparently they were just a little too pretty as several bees mistook my carrot flowers as real flowers so we had to chow them (ie the carrot flowers not the bees) down quickly.

In a moment of bento ecstasy, I forgot I was a kitty cat and tried to fly like a birdie. Not very graceful result.

Revenge of Kitty Galore -- MEOW!

Peeps peeps, I have a new movie coming out. Here is the poster. What d'ya think? Good flying form, huh? I know, I know, I look kinda different... makeup and fur dye, that's all. I am normally a golden blonde, but I guess grey is okay once in a while... Don't miss it!

Pho 36

Can someone please tell me why Vietnamese noodle places are all numbered? Do they have to check a database to see if a number is taken?

Two huuuge bowls with a side order of oxtail...

SLURP SLURP SLURP...Ahhhh...done!

Wedding!

Ok, here are more pics from H and P's wedding. The venue was beautiful.

Yours truly striking a pose in front of the golf course... I even washed my car to make sure I'd make good accessory for my friend's wedding :-)

She is such a cutie :-)

Right before the ceremony...

The flowers were amazing...

The kiss!

After the ceremony...

Table #17... beautiful center piece.

The happy couple's first dance...

I chose vegetarian for my dinner -- it was surprisingly yummy. It's like a Greek/Chinese fusion. The shell is kind of fluffy like baklava, but the filling reminds me of Chinese spring roll... delicious. See, globalization is good, at least for my palate :-)

Congratulations H and P. We wish you a life time of happiness and joy :-)
