Week one has come and gone as of tomorrow and I have eaten only 6 kinds of food. I think I need to either increase my paycheck or spend less on theatre tickets to afford this challenge. Over all the week was good. We started off the challenge with Ivan the Kozak because we got a GROUPON for it! The food is always yummy but they shrunk the portions recently and we all left still a little hungry. The chairs are also the WORST at this place. My butt hurt after sitting there for about twenty minutes.
Diner was handled by the Hong Kong classic, The Flying Pan. We went to the Wanchai one after a show and the food was good. The staff was ok, but it was late and they were probably tired. Their grits are not grits. By using yellow corn, it's technically polenta. I tried to explain this to someone once and failed to get them to understand.
Cupcakes were handled by Sweet Secrets and their amazing ability to make me nut free cupcakes! I never can eat carrot cake (despite loving it) because people love to put walnuts in it. But at Sweet Secrets I can eat them and I don't have to have fear about dropping dead!
Sushi was Genki Sushi, a large chain in HK that makes good sushi at a good price. Sushi is so cheap in HK compared to America. You can eat Sashimi for 40HK which is about a 5th of the price of the same thing in the US. I will always have a hard time paying US prices now that I know how cheap it can be.
Frites is a great little Belgian Bar in Central near the Peel St. Market. Great Fries and Kreik Beer. I'm happy. The food smelled really good but I didn't really have time to eat a full dinner. (Although the schnitzel was calling my name!!!) I recommend this place for a dinner date as it is super cozy and reminded me of all the bars in Belgium!
