as is

Next station, Jordan.

Some ethereal being’s womanly voice waking me up as the MTR was obviously slowing down. Struggling to get up from my seat, I did not bother anymore whether the woman owning the voice was a Hongkee bred somewhere in the West or a gweipor (the white woman). All that matters is:

I am home.

Any MTR station in Hong Kong has a map of its surrounding area. So getting lost would be unheard of unless you are a geographical idiot such as myself. Jordan’s map sadly however does not show where to get the most scrumptuous Nepalese meal, the plumpest mangoes or the best Chinese dessert.

While most stations have a 711, Exit C2 has one waving its hand at you as soon as you go out. Further ahead is the mini-night market where you can bargain for half the price. Although not necessarily winning it.

This is the snack area at the corner of Parkes Street and Bowring Road. They have siu mai, radish cakes, cheong fan (rolled rice noodles) and other Chinese steamed goodies. If you are into such delicacies, this is the place to be. Otherwise, I have a better alternative. Across Nathan Road.

This is the first of many attempts to present places to be in Hong Kong. I do not want my blog to be a travelogue but for those who are not my friends but are coming to Hong Kong with a tight budget, I wish my blog could help.
