Last weekend Hong Kongers celebrated Easter, as they always do, with a four-day public holiday! With no trips planned, I was really looking forward to a long weekend at home… doing absolutely nothing (Hanging out on the sofa, walking the pups, laundry, Spring clean the flat… all sounded pretty heavenly to me). However, due to a last-minute business trip to Shanghai, the weekend flew by like any other weekend. However, I did find time to spend Easter day with great friends and A LOT of food.
Last week I ran by Gateway Supermarket in Sheung Wan to pick up some cleaning supplies. When I arrived, I immediately noticed the bright yellow walls leading down to the basement had been painted white. I also couldn’t detect that weird smell that typically hit me as I approached the front door. Was I in the wrong place? After going back up and confirming I was in fact heading down the right basement, I continued back down only to find the store was empty! As in NO MO JIFFY PEANUT BUTTER! Even though I wasn’t planning to buy peanut butter, when I saw the store empty it was the only thing that hit my brain.
Dear Hong Kong Expats,
Do you get annoyed by…
People that barely move outside, in lobbies, corridors or foot bridges, only to break into a run-like-hell dash toward an elevator to hit (several times) the close door button?
Or people that have very little regard for anyone other than the person they’re texting?
It’s true! Hong Kong has an ABC Kitchen. But, before you New York loving foodies start running toward the address at the bottom of this post, you need to know something. I’m not talking about New York’s ABC Kitchen from Union Square, where you’ll find organically grown vegetables, naturally and humanly sourced meats all from local farmers. Nope.
When I heard Facebook had bought WhatsApp for $19 billion, I thought… finally! My friends back home will now know what I’ve been talking about!
