Food is probably my biggest preoccupation in HK. There is just so much good food here, and to top it off it is incredibly cheap to eat out. It costs about 5 times as much to cook at home than to go to a restaurant here. So expect more posts about food on my blog :)
On top of 'normal' food, the Chinese tend to each pretty much anything as long as it is "good for your health". An example of this is Tortoise Jelly which we of course had to try. Small stalls sell the jelly everywhere throughout the city. Most people eat it on the go. Tortoise Jelly is good for getting rid of the 'heat' in your body (heat refers to anything negative or bad in China). It is a concoction of tortoise shell and many bitter herbs.
