Fourth night in Hong Kong ..

We met up my Korean friend whom I had met in Canada. He was going back to Korea the very next day so we were gonna party it up !

We saw the symphony of lights by the water :





Then walked to Bulldogs beside Shrangi La, one of Matt's friend recommended.



It was expensive .. 200$ for all you can drink, but was expected of because it was a tourist strip.

We then walked around and drunkenly found street food .. yum fishballs ^^



Then somehow ended up at some other bar in Tsim Sha Tsui, It was 100$ for ladies all you can drink and 150$ for guys.

After chugging down as much as possible and getting even more drunk..we made it back to the hostel, the last thing I remember is waiting for the elevator and shoving the key in the metal gate. ^^

Temple Street Night Market

In Hong Kong

Me and my friend were shopping on Canton St.

Somehow, we ended up at Yau Ma Tei .. and then eventually Jordan.

Which conveniently led us to the Temple Street Night Market, we were planning to go anyway so yeah.

We went up about 4 blocks, and I thought it ended there .. but nope, it just kept going ... for like 8 blocks more I swear, I bought so much junk, well mostly souvenirs for people. I wonder if I can bring lighters back because well, I bought 9 of them. I actually wanna buy another 9, it makes a good gift for all my smoker friends and uncles.

Second night in HK

This was at some place during happy hour. $30CAD for 18 beers .. great deal, but too bad it was only the two of us so we didn't order it. It was a karaoke bar. Don't remember what street it was on lol



Then, we hit up a strip after walking up a hill, there were many bars.



I was pretty drunk here haha, we kept wandering around, and then got distracted by this :



It even smells real !

We eventually made our way back to the hostel..

A healthy alternative to actual french fries.

Oven Baked Fries


1 small potato (145cal)
salt
pepper
lemon juice
paprika
cooking spray
green onion



So I was craving french fries, yummy oily deep fried goodness .. but decided against it.

Instead, I did this ..

You've got to first preheat the oven to 450. Peel and wash potato, cut into strips like fries, and soak in cold water for about 5 minutes. I believe this removes starch and makes it crisper. I might be wrong lol ..

Then you take the potatoes and put it on a paper towel, and soak up all the water.

Spray the tray with 0 calorie cooking spray. Spread the potatoes on the tray and try to make sure it's not stacked on top of each other. Season with salt, pepper, lemon juice and paprika, mix around .. then sprinkle on the chopped up green onions. Also can use cilantro, or both.

Bake for about 20 - 30 minutes, move the fries around every 10 minutes so it cooks evenly. Make sure not to burn, I once forgot about it haha and it turned black.

Serve hot with ketchup. I fried an egg over easy and dipped the fries in the yolk ^^

Makes a good snack or breakfast. Happy eating !

Beef Sashimi

Beef Sashimi


6 oz sirloin steak (320 cal)
black pepper
salt
cooking spray



This is the simplest, healthiest and tastiest recipe yet !

You defrost the steak so that the outside is soft but the inside is still frozen.

Season all sides with salt and pepper, I skipped the salt though.

Use a non stick frying pan, spray once with 0 calorie vegetable cooking spray.

When the pan is smoking, throw the steak on. Cook each of the 6 sides for 30 seconds each. This is to kill any bacteria.

Hopefully by now, the steak is still frozen in the middle. Now slice into thin pieces and arrange on a plate. If the steak is too soft, put it back in the freezer for around 30 minutes. It should become slightly frozen again so then you can cut it easily. It's almost impossible to slice soft steak.

Serve with ponzu sauce, the recipe I posted before this one. Also I like to eat it with cilantro, green onions and minced ginger.

By the way, I only chose sirloin because it's my favorite cut, but I think beef sashimi is originally made with tenderloin ?

So delicious ! For all you beef lovers out there. <3
